Sir Paul McCartney to play on Quebec City's Plains of Abraham








QUEBEC - Sir Paul McCartney will sing on the Plains of Abraham on July 20 as part of the celebrations surrounding Quebec City's 400th birthday.

"I am doing a gig, a big gig, in Quebec City on July 20 to help Quebec celebrate their 400th anniversary," the former Beatle said in a videotaped message from London on Monday. "That (400 years) is a long time.

"We're coming to Quebec for the first time. We're going to have a great time and I would love to see you there."

Tickets will be free.

McCartney, who played a recent open-air show in Kyiv, Ukraine, has never appeared in Quebec City.
