The Headline Band for 2017

After a recent change to his touring dates we are super excited to announce that Paul “Wix” Wickens, Paul McCartney’s keyboard player and musical director for many years, has assembled a very special band to headline Rock against Cancer this year.

Knowing full well he intended to launch the biggest tour of his career thus far, in 1989, Paul McCartney put together a regular band to take out on the road, and who would appear in various forms on his comeback album, ‘Flowers in the Dirt’. 

Now after the recent special 2017 re-release of that album, Paul “Wix” Wickens has reunited with some of the original band to play at Concert at the Kings 2017. 

And they’ll be joined by other musicians who have played with musical royalty over the years to give us a spectacular finale.
