Paul McCartney invited St. Vincent and Jack White on stage with him at Corona Capital this weekend to jam some Beatles songs – check out footage below.
The music legend was headlining the Mexico City festival on Sunday (November 17), treating the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez Stadium to a 29-song set covering the breadth of his career.
For ‘Get Back’, McCartney welcomed St. Vincent to the stage, with Annie Clark lending searing guitar solos to a spirited performance of the 1969 track, before exchanging kisses with McCartney.
St. Vincent made a second appearance for the show’s epic finale, a rendition of ‘The End’, which also saw Jack White adding his distinctive serrated guitar tone to the mix. See fan-captured footage of that track here:
St. Vincent has just released ‘Todos Nacen Gritando’, a directly-translated Spanish language version of her latest album ‘All Born Screaming’. Announcing the thinking behind the record, she explained that it was inspired by the passion of her fans in South America, Mexico and Spain.
“Eventually, I asked myself: If they can sing along in a second or third language, why can’t I meet them halfway?” she said.
Clark recently spoke more to NME about the album, saying: “Thematically, this was the right record to [translate],” she said. “This record is essentially about life and death and love. There’s a lot of iconography. It’s very Catholic, very sacred.”
Jack White, meanwhile, just released a new B-side from his latest solo album ‘No Name’ in the form of ‘You Got Me Searching’, and also announced an extensive new tour, which will take in Australian and New Zealand dates this year and then Japanese and North American dates throughout the first half of 2025.

Paul McCartney’s ‘Got Back’ tour is set to wind up with two dates at London’s O2 Arena in December, which follow a couple of nights in Manchester’s Co-op Live Arena.
