Tour announcement
Sir Paul McCartney popped up several times throughout 2012, and now he’s set to for more in the months to come. By the time his 71st birthday approaches, McCartney will already be fully immersed in his “Out There” Tour scheduled to travel the globe beginning this spring.
With a launch date of May 4 in Brazil, the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer will conquer the pavement all over the world, and after three nights of shows in South America, he’ll return stateside for what has become a growing list of U.S. tour dates in select cities.
The first two sites will play host to consecutive nights of performances, which will take place at the Amway Center in Orlando, Fla. (May 18-19) and the Frank Erwin Center in Austin, Texas (May 22-23). From there, the icon also will hit up FedEx Forum in Memphis, Tenn. (May 26) and the BOK Center in Tulsa, Okla. (May 29-30).
The Paul McCartney tour will then pause temporarily to leave time for his scheduled appearance at the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in Manchester, Tenn. (June 13-16), before he jets off to Europe to perform in Poland, Italy, and Austria to close out June. He’ll return to the U.S. in July with stops at several big-name baseball parks and sports venues, including the legendary Fenway Park in Boston, Mass. (July 9), Nationals Park in Washington D.C. (July 12), Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Ind. (July 14), Miller Park in Milwaukee, Wis. (July 16), and Safeco Field in Seattle, Wash. (July 19).
The ongoing demand to see Paul McCartney live certainly comes as no surprise, as he owns the distinction of being “The Most Successful Composer and Recording Artist of All Time” according to Guinness World Records, compiling 60 gold discs, and having sold over 100 million albums and singles. Fans in attendance during a stop on the Paul McCartney tour can expect to hear Beatles classic such as “I Want To Hold Your Hand,” “Hey Jude,” and “Let It Be,” as well as some of McCartney’s own solo hits like “Live and Let Die,” Wanderlust,” and “Maybe I’m Amazed.”
New dates for McCartney’s “Out There” Tour have been announced almost weekly, so stay tuned for the possibility of more shows to be added down the road.
