Along with The Beatles, Paul McCartney christened Shea Stadium for rock and roll, with a stadium rock show in 1965. He is set for similar honors at Citi Field, announcing Wednesday that he would be the first musical act at the new home of the Mets on July 17 and 18.

"To be the first to play this stadium is incredible," McCartney said in a statement. "I am really looking forward to a buzzing show."
