Paul McCartney performed a concert for Apple employees in Cupertino last night to celebrate the company’s 50th anniversary, playing a range of career-spanning hits.

No, it’s not an April Fool’s prank. Last night at Apple Park in Cupertino, Paul McCartney played a concert for Apple employees to celebrate the company’s 50th anniversary. He played a range of career-spanning hits from The Beatles, Wings, and his solo career.

The show took place under Apple Park’s rainbow arches, which were transformed into a full stage for the occasion. Apple CEO Tim Cook introduced McCartney to the crowd, referring to him as “one of the most influential artists of all time.”

The former Beatle played hits from across his storied career, including “Help,” “Got to Get You Into My Life,” “Blackbird,” “Lady Madonna,” “Something,” “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da,” “From Me to You,” “Getting Better,” “Let It Be,” and “Hey Jude.”

He also played songs from his Wings era, like “Coming Up,” “Let Me Roll It,” “Let ‘Em In,” and “Band On the Run,” as well as solo hits like “Maybe I’m Amazed” and “Every Night.” McCartney also played his fan favorite “Live and Let Die” pyrotechnics set, and closed the show with “Golden Slumbers.”

Rumors bubbled over the weekend that McCartney would be the event’s headliner, and it was confirmed when images of his soundcheck made the rounds on social media.

The show also came just a few days after McCartney played two (phone-free) sets at the Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles. There, an incredible who’s who of Hollywood was in attendance, including musicians like Ringo Starr, Taylor Swift, Stevie Nicks, Billie Eilish, Elton John, Anthony Kiedis, Olivia Rodrigo, Sabrina Carpenter, and Tate McCrae. Actors in the audience included Harrison Ford, Margot Robbie, Reese Witherspoon, Jon Hamm, Laura Dern, Emma Watson, Steve Carell, Dakota Johnson, and more.

Interestingly, McCartney’s presence at Apple Park would have raised a lot of questions less than 20 years ago. The musician and the company were embroiled in a legal battle over the name and trademarks related to “Apple,” when the Beatles had founded their company “Apple Corps” just eight years before Steve Jobs founded his tech empire. That matter was only resolved in 2007, and the Beatles’ music finally arrived on Apple’s iTunes three years later.
