Paul McCartney has announced he will be performing a lunchtime concert to about 300 fans at London's famed 100 Club on Friday.


The event was announced today and tickets go on sale to the UK tomorrow at 10 a.m. Click here for the Ticketmaster page.


McCartney said he was excited about the intimate venue.


"I've played all sorts of different venues over the years and this kind of show presents a different kind of challenge to performing in a stadium," he said.


The last time McCartney played such a small venue was at the Cavern Club in Liverpool in 1999.

According to
reports from CBC News, the 100 Club is facing closure at the end of the year due to a lack of funds.

Tickets for McCartney's show cost £66, and are limited to two per person.
McCartney will also be playing the HMV Apollo in Hammersmith, London on Saturday and Liverpool's O2 Academy on Monday.
