On this day, Paul McCartney visited the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts (LIPA), the performing arts school he co-founded. He was joined by Bruce Springsteen and Steven Van Zandt, who were in town for two concerts at Liverpool’s Anfield Stadium as part of the “Land of Hope and Dreams” tour with the E-Street Band. Paul and Bruce were photographed with LIPA students during the visit.

The appearance sparked speculation that Paul might join Bruce on stage during the second show — a speculation that proved true.


From Liverpool Echo, June 6, 2025:

Bruce Springsteen has been pictured leaving the Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts (LIPA) after he reunited with Sir Paul McCartney today. The Boss is currently in Merseyside as he brings his Land Of Hope and Dreams tour to Anfield stadium.

The 75-year-old will play his second gig in L4 tomorrow and he has reunited with one of the city’s most famous sons ahead of the show. The two were captured by ECHO photographers as they visited the performing arts school on Mount Street on Friday.

Sir Paul co-founded LIPA and was spotted arriving at the main entrance earlier today. Springsteen was ushered in via another entrance and has since been pictured leaving the school.

The Born in the USA singer interacted with fans as he signed autographs and posed for selfies. A huge crowd was gathered outside LIPA earlier today as Sir Paul arrived at the main entrance to huge cheers.

E Street band guitarist Steven Van Zandt was also pictured arriving at the school. The meeting is certain to fuel speculation about whether Sir Paul will join Springsteen on stage at some point during his final show in L4 tomorrow.

Many fans have taken to the ECHO comments on Instagram to speculate that Sir Paul will be making an appearance at Anfield. Stacey said: “Bruce is bringing Macca out tomorrow isn’t he”
