The invitation-only concert is to celebrate SIRIUS XM reaching 20 million subscribers, a milestone the company expects to achieve shortly.

The Dec. 13 concert will feature McCartney performing songs from his back catalog, including many Beatles, Wings and solo classics.

SIRIUS XM said Tuesday it will broadcast the concert live nationwide as well as offer some lucky subscribers the opportunity to attend the event.

The satellite radio network also said it will launch "Paul McCartney's Band on the Run Radio," a monthlong, 24-hour, commercial-free music channel devoted to McCartney's expansive music catalog. The channel is to be up and running Nov. 29 and will air through Dec. 26.

"Reaching 20 million satellite radio subscribers is an important milestone for SIRIUS XM," Scott Greenstein, president and chief content officer of SIRIUS XM Radio, said in a statement Tuesday. "Sir Paul's performance at the Apollo Theater is our way of thanking our subscribers; we are thrilled to offer them an opportunity to attend the event and listen live to this once-in-a-lifetime concert on SIRIUS XM."
