British singing legend Paul McCartney is preparing to make his way back across the pond for an extension of his Got Back tour, which he originally launched in Spokane, Washington, in 2022.
This will mark the 83-year-old former Beatles frontman’s first complete tour of North America since 2022’s Got Back tour, which fulfilled his promise to “get back” following Covid. The tour saw him travel from North America to Latin America and Australia before wrapping in Europe in December 2024.
The new dates, announced Thursday, will see McCartney make his way across the continent, beginning in Palm Desert, California, on September 29. He will continue on to several major cities, including Denver, Colorado; New Orleans, Louisiana; Atlanta, Georgia; Nashville, Tennessee; and Montreal, Quebec, Canada, before concluding with two final shows in Chicago, Illinois, on November 24 and 25.
McCartney’s highly anticipated return to the States comes hot on the heels of three sold-out concerts at New York City’s Bowery Ballroom earlier this year.
The first of his shows was a surprise, intimate gig. “So here we are,” he told the 500-strong crowd with a grin. “Some little gig. New York. Why not?”
His 100-minute set opened on the famous guitar twang that precedes “A Hard Day’s Night,” with McCartney continuing to beam as he performed with youthful enthusiasm.
Got Back was the “Live And Let Die” singer-songwriter’s major comeback after the Covid pandemic canceled the final European leg of his Freshen Up tour in 2020. It featured first-time performances of songs off his 18th solo album, McCartney III, released during the pandemic in 2020.
Following 16 stops across North America, McCartney delivered a showstopping performance at the 2022 Glastonbury festival.
“It’s a historic privilege just to be alive at the same time as him,” The Independent’s Mark Beaumont wrote in his five-star review of McCartney’s festival gig.
