World Ticket Shop: Paul McCartney's Hard Rock Calling VIP Guest List

At a current show Sir Paul McCartney had a guest list of 500 people.
Event held in London's Hyde Park the former Beatles legend performed at the Hard Rock Calling last weekend, and was keen for all his friends and family to come and support
him. Paul organized for his children Stella, Mary and James to be given particular access at the event, but also included a host of big names on his guest list. Among those mentioned were Coldplay singer Chris Martin and his wife Gwyneth Paltrow, David Walliams and his spouse Lara Stone, rockers Kings of Leon and pop band the Jonas Brothers. “When huge acts play big outdoor shows you can expect some big guest lists. But Paul's was by far the biggest list anyone had seen,” a source told British newspaper The Sun. “He's a thoughtful kind of guy and had managed to accommodate an incredible number of people on the night.”
The 68-year-old delighted the audience by playing a mixture of his solo work and tracks from his bands, with Beatles classics Let It be, Live and Let Die, Hey Jude, Lady Madonna, Get Back and Yesterday all getting an outing.
It’s not the first time Paul has been swamped with requests to one of his shows. He played at London’s O2 Arena in December, and ended up with around 600 names on the guest list.
