Paul McCartney has a special treat for fans before he headlines this year's Glastonbury Festival as he announced a surprise gig ahead of his performance.
According to The Independent UK, the 80-year-old musician announced on social media that he's going to perform at the Cheese and Grain in Frome, Somerset, on Friday starting at 5 p.m.
The venue can hold over 800 people, and tickets are on a "first-come, first-served" basis.
"In 24 hours time from now Paul McCartney will be performing live, here in Frome, at the Cheese and Grain. What an incredible opportunity to watch Paul warm up for his Glastonbury headlining performance this weekend," the venue shared on their official website.
The statement also added that having the former Beatles member perform is an "amazing treat."
Fans can expect a different side of the singer as his set won't be his usual lineup. There will also be "wonderful surprises."
A few moments later, after the announcement, organizers took to social media to announce that tickets, which were priced at £25 ($30.65), had sold out in less than an hour. (via BBC News)
