Sir Paul McCartney will headline The Old Vic's inaugural fundraiser to be held on June 30 at the Boiler House in Battersea Power Station in London, according to a report on Whatsonstage.com. Kevin Spacey will host the event which will concurrently celebrate the theater's 192nd birthday and raise funds to repair the roof of the theater, which has been deteriorating since it was damaged originally during World War II.

McCartney's performance will also raise funds for his own charity, Meat Free Monday, which works to raise awareness of the impact meat production and consumption has on the environment. Additional performers will be announced at a later date.

In addition to the performance, the evening will feature a champagne reception, dinner and art auction.
