Beatles’ bandmates McCartney, Starr perform classics during UK show
Paul McCartney brought out Beatles bandmate Ringo Starr during his “Got Back Tour” stop in London.
Paul McCartney hardly needs to step on a stage again.
But at 83, the indefatigable Beatle is indeed taking another spin around the U.S. with his Got Back tour.
The 19-date North American jaunt of arenas and a few stadiums will kick off Sept. 29 at Acrisure Arena in Palm Desert, California, and hit cities including Las Vegas, Minneapolis, Atlanta and Chicago.
Tickets will go on sale at paulmccartneygotback.com at 10 a.m. local time July 15.
The day before the announcement, McCartney teased fans on his Instagram stories with a photo of a pair of guitar picks etched with the name of the tour. This new round of concerts is an extension of his Got Back run in 2022 that played 16 U.S. dates before rolling through Australia, South America and Europe until a London finale last December.
But much like his lifelong comrade Ringo Starr – also still regularly on the road with his All-Starr Band – McCartney relishes sharing his incomparable catalog with fans.
In February, he prompted many a dropped jaw with a handful of hastily announced shows at the 500-capacity Bowery Ballroom in New York City. His 100-minute set with his longtime band hopscotched among Beatles classics (“A Hard Day’s Night,” “Let It Be”), Wings masterworks (“Maybe I’m Amazed,” “Jet”) and even the ostensibly final Beatles song, “Now and Then,” released in November 2023.
Along with his tireless spirit, McCartney remains a jovial presence onstage, his affection for fans apparent as he bops his head and grins through songs performed thousands of times.
Here’s where you’ll have a chance to hear some of them live this year.
