Sir Paul McCartney has reportedly hand-picked a Montreal band, The Stills to open for him for Quebec City’s 400th birthday celebration on June 20, 2008.

The free concert is set for the Plains of Abraham and is expected to attract over 100,000 concert goers. The Stills are over the moon at getting the chance to open for the former Beatle. On the Arts & Crafts website, The Stills guitarist/vocalist, Tim Fletcher wrote:

“We are completely honored, blown totally 100 per cent away. (McCartney’s) influence on our own music is incalculable and profound and his songs have been stuck in our heads since we were just tiny little beings developing in our mothers’ wombs. It will be a beautiful night to remember for all times.”
