At 83, Paul McCartney has absolutely nothing to prove—but that’s not stopping him from hitting the road again. The Beatles legend just announced a 19-date U.S. leg of his Got Back tour, kicking off September 29 in Palm Desert, California. From arenas to a few stadiums, the tour will bring McCartney to cities like Las Vegas, Minneapolis, Chicago, and Atlanta. Fans can grab tickets through his website starting July 15 at 10 a.m. local time.
This tour builds on the Got Back run that began in 2022, which included 16 U.S. shows before moving across Australia, South America, and Europe. McCartney wrapped up that global stretch in London last December, proving once again that age is no match for his energy on stage.
Songs That Shaped Generations
A Paul McCartney concert is more than just a rock show—it’s a trip through 60 years of music history. From Beatles classics like “Hey Jude” and “Let It Be” to Wings hits like “Live and Let Die” and solo gems like “Maybe I’m Amazed,” McCartney’s setlists are packed with favorites. As one article put it, “Hours of the greatest moments from the last 60 years of music.”
In February, McCartney surprised fans with a pop-up performance at New York’s Bowery Ballroom. Just 500 lucky fans witnessed a 100-minute show that included everything from “A Hard Day’s Night” to the 2023 Beatles release “Now and Then.” His onstage vibe? Playful, upbeat, and all heart. “His affection for fans [is] apparent as he bops his head and grins through songs performed thousands of times.”
Legendary Venues and Lifelong Bandmates
McCartney’s live shows aren’t just about the music—they’re a full-on experience. Whether he’s rocking Moscow’s Red Square or playing to 400,000 fans in Mexico, his concerts are unforgettable. From Buckingham Palace and the White House to the Coliseum in Rome and even a live broadcast into space, McCartney has performed just about everywhere.
His longtime band—Paul “Wix” Wickens, Brian Ray, Rusty Anderson, and Abe Laboriel Jr.—joins him again, backed by state-of-the-art sound and visuals that make every seat feel like the best in the house.
Wings Take Flight in New Book
And if that’s not enough McCartney magic, fans can also look forward to his new book, WINGS: The Story of a Band on the Run, coming out November 4. Edited by historian Ted Widmer and packed with over 150 never-before-seen photos and personal diary entries, the book captures the journey of Wings from scrappy beginnings to global success.
“Suddenly Wings has found its moment,” McCartney writes in the foreword. “We have a generational shift at work, and it’s like being transported back on a magic carpet.”
It’s a deep dive into the band’s story—from No. 1 hits like “Band on the Run” to Oscar-nominated tracks and globe-spanning adventures. As with the tour, McCartney’s legacy continues to unfold—alive, evolving, and still rocking.
