"Venus and Mars/Rock Show" is a single by 1970s rock band Wings. It was released on November 1, 1975, to promote the band's contemporary album "Venus and Mars"; the two songs were the album's first and second tracks. The B-side was "Magneto and Titanium Man", another track from the album.

Venus and Mars/Rock Show became Paul McCartney's second post-Beatles single to fail to reach the UK Singles Chart, the first being "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey". It fared better in the United States, where it peaked at #12.

The chorus of Rock Show mentions concerts at Amsterdam's Concertgebouw, New York's Madison Square Garden, and Los Angeles' Hollywood Bowl. The verses also name-drop other musical acts, including Jimmy Page. "Venus and Mars" also has a reprise that appears on the "Venus and Mars" album, which serves to open the B-side of the LP record.

The single version of the song was also released on the "History" disc of the 2-disc compilation "".
