The 80-year-old former member of The Beatles’ performance was announced on Thursday, with “first come first served” tickets selling out in under an hour. On their website, it said: “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.” It added: “What an amazing treat… we are told this won’t be his normal set either so should be an afternoon full of wonderful surprises.” McCartney will become Glastonbury Festival’s oldest ever solo headliner when he takes to the stage this weekend, which marks exactly a week after his 80th birthday.
