Music legend Sir Paul McCartney will be taking the stage in Philadelphia soon.
A banner featuring the Beatle draped along the side of the Wells Fargo Center Friday afternoon made the June 21 concert a reality.

The official announcement came after a series of teases earlier in the day.
A Tweet from a major concert promoter sparked rumors the Beatle was set for a show in the City of Brotherly Love.
LiveNation shared a Tweet Thursday that pictures a violin-shaped bass guitar -- an instrument long associated with McCartney -- outside Philly's iconic LOVE Park.

Early photos of the legendary musician show him holding a Hofner violin bass guitar. Some even refer to the Hofner 500/1 violin bass as the "Beatle bass" since he is often credited with making that instrument famous.
LiveNation officially announced the Macca show by lowering a 50-foot-by-50-foot banner on the side of the stadium at 4 p.m. Friday.
McCartney's Philly stop follows his headlining slot the Friday before at the Firefly Music Festival in Dover, Delaware.
Beatles' lovers can grab tickets starting May 1 at noon.
