Paul McCartney in NZ

Sir Paul McCartney has arrived in New Zealand and the Beatles legend is ready to party!

The musical icon has posted a video on Facebook to celebrate his arrival and say hello to his Kiwi fans, along with the caption: "Finally in NZ".

"Ok, so I finally got to New Zealand - wow, it's been a little while, it's beautiful, look at that," he says, gesturing to the green NZ background behind him.

He then adds: "Looking forward to the gig on Saturday night in Auckland, hope to see you there. Come on, let's rock!"

Earlier reports have suggested that Sir Paul has been spending time in Hawke's Bay, arriving by jet on Wednesday night.

He will be playing at Auckland's Mt Smart Stadium on Saturday night and last minute tickets are still available here.

McCartney has recently performed to Australian crowds, impressing them with his 40-song set which has been described as "epic" and "a musical experience like few others" by Australian media.
