Paul McCartney announces UK tour dates
By Dan Biggane | June 17, 2024
Sir Paul McCartney has announced his first UK tour dates since 2018, with shows in Manchester and London this December.
Paul McCartney will bring his acclaimed Got Back Tour to the UK this December. Fulfilling his promise to perform in the UK again, made at his last show here in 2022.
The former Beatle said: “I’m excited to be ending my year and 2024 tour dates in the UK. It’s always such a special feeling to play shows on our home soil. It’s going to be an amazing end to the year. Let’s get set to party. I can’t wait to see you.”
Irrefutably one of the most successful singer-songwriters and performers of all time, McCartney is behind the most beloved catalogue in music. With songs like Hey Jude, Live And Let Die, Band On The Run, Let It Be and many more, the McCartney live experience is everything any music lover could ever want from a rock show: hours of the greatest moments from the last 60 years of music – dozens of songs from Paul’s solo, Wings and of course Beatles catalogues that have formed the soundtracks of our lives.
BAND ON THE ROAD
Featuring Paul’s longtime band Paul “Wix” Wickens (keyboards), Brian Ray (bass/guitar), Rusty Anderson (guitar) and Abe Laboriel Jr (drums), the Got Back Tour also features the Hot City Horns – Mike Davis (trumpet), Kemji Fenton (saxes) and Paul Burton (trombone).
This will mark Paul’s first UK shows since his iconic Glastonbury headlining performance in 2022.
Paul’s last show in London was in 2018 at The O2 and his last Manchester show was in 2011 at the Manchester Evening News Arena. These UK shows will round off the Got Back tour 2024 dates.
Last week Paul announced his first 2024 live dates and that he’ll be taking his tour to Uruguay, Argentina, Chile and Peru this October. Today, Paul has also announced shows in France and Spain. These dates will see McCartney return for his first live performance in Paris in six years and Madrid, where he last played eight years ago.
