Paul McCartney is offering Québec City a free concert for its 400th anniversary, to take place on the Plains of Abraham on July 20, 2008. His only performance in America this year, it is also the artist's first time in Québec City.

His recent concerts in Kiev, Ukraine and Liverpool, England are a glimpse into what Paul McCartney has in store for us. It is sure to be an evening to remember!

The concert will take place on the large stage on the Plains of Abraham, where most big events are held.
