‘SNL’ 50th Anniversary with Beatles Medley Finale
New York City, February 17, 2025 — Sir Paul McCartney delivered an unforgettable performance during the “Saturday Night Live” (SNL) 50th Anniversary Special.

A Nostalgic Performance
McCartney took the stage at Studio 8H in 30 Rockefeller Plaza, performing “Golden Slumbers,” “Carry That Weight,” and “The End.” His soulful delivery resonated deeply with fans, reminding everyone of The Beatles’ lasting impact on music. His appearance marked his ninth time on “SNL,” with his first visit dating back to 1980. The emotional tribute was a highlight of the evening, proving McCartney’s talent remains as strong as ever.
A Night Full of Stars

Hollywood stars such as Tom Hanks, Scarlett Johansson, and Eddie Murphy added to the star power, while musical guests including Paul Simon, Sabrina Carpenter, Miley Cyrus, and The Roots delivered stunning performances.
Surprise Concerts Thrill Fans
Leading up to the anniversary special, McCartney surprised fans with two intimate concerts at New York City’s Bowery Ballroom.

His dedication to songwriting continues to excite audiences worldwide, as they eagerly await his next masterpiece.
An Everlasting Legacy
Paul McCartney’s recent performances have once again demonstrated his extraordinary influence on music and culture.
