Apple's conclusion to its 50th anniversary celebration at Apple Park is confirmed to include a performance by Paul McCartney, as well as a small selection of employee gifts to mark the occasion.
Apple has been holding a series of events around the world, as part of its 50th anniversary celebrations. The grand finale will take place at Apple Park on Wednesday, while it will be a big party for Apple employees, some more details about the event have been unearthed.
A photograph shared to Reddit by user u/Live_Football2343 shows the soundcheck for Wednesday's performance within the rainbow arch at the middle of Apple Park.
The shot does confirm something that was hinted at on Sunday about a "British Invasion" singer who Steve Jobs would've been happy to see. On large screens on either side of the stage, Sir Paul McCartney is shown playing an electric guitar during a sound check.
Swag bag
Apple isn't just going to hold a concert at its headquarters to mark the major company anniversary. It's also going to give its employees some physical treats too.
Images shared by Mr. Macintosh on X on Tuesday shows the contents of a goody bag that will be provided to attendees.
It's a short list of items, including an Apple-branded t-shirt, complete with a scribbled Apple logo. It's wrapped in a thin cardboard band, also branded with the Apple logo.

There's also an enamel pin, which is simply a number 50 springing upward with rainbow layers. The cardboard holder for the badge also shows the date April 1, 1976, as a reminder of when Apple's journey began.
A poster is also included, again using the scribbled Apple logo, as well as the text "50 Years of Thinking Different."
The contents of the gift bag are also confirmed by a photograph shared by long-time leaker @L0vetodream. However, Apple may also provide some extra items to some of its more valued employees, aside from the gift bag itself.
Employees are able to pick up their gifts on-site between March 31 and April 30.
