PAUL McCARTNEY BRINGS HIS GOT BACK TOUR TO MEXICO THIS NOVEMBER

The legendary Paul McCartney announced the highly anticipated GOT BACK Tour, set to grace Mexico City with an amazing concert at the emblematic Foro Sol, the first Mexican date in six years. The show is scheduled for the 14th November, when fans can expect an unforgettable experience as McCartney and his band deliver a once-in-a-lifetime event in the country.

 
I’m very excited to say I’m coming to Mexico to play some gigs with my Got Back tour in November. I’ve got such great memories of Mexico. Every time we come we have a beautiful time. So we’re going to make some more great memories. We’re going to rock, we’re going to roll. And we’re going to have a party. Fiesta!
— Paul McCartney
 

The GOT BACK Tour kicked off on the 28th April 2022, in Spokane, WA, with resounding success, captivating audiences with a 13-city run throughout the US. In June 2022, the music icon headlined Glastonbury with a history-making set that was described by the British Times as the “best gig ever”. This year, Paul McCartney will embark on a thrilling journey to Australia where he will have an emotional return to Adelaide, besides visiting cities such as Melbourne, Newcastle, Sydney and more. Now, Mexican fans will have the opportunity to witness McCartney’s incredible live performance, making it his first live show in the country since 2017, when he gave an outstanding concert at Estadio Azteca.

Tickets for the GOT BACK Tour in Mexico will be on sale to the public beginning 2nd September at 2PM local time. All Citibanamex Cardholders can purchase tickets before the general public on the 1st September at 2PM local time at ticketmaster.com.mx. For more information, please visit paulmccartney.com.

PAUL McCARTNEY BRINGS HIS GOT BACK TOUR TO AUSTRALIA THIS OCTOBER & NOVEMBER

Paul McCartney will bring his acclaimed Got Back Tour to Australia this October and November on what will be his first Australian dates since 2017’s award-winning tour and includes first visits to Newcastle and Gold Coast. And due to overwhelming demand, a 2nd and final Sydney show has been added. The new performance will take place at Sydney’s Allianz Stadium on Saturday 28 October – making it two nights back-to-back at the venue for the legendary two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee.

Got Back starts with an intimate arena show in Adelaide, the city where The Beatles made history in 1964 on their first visit to Australia. An estimated 350,000 people lined the streets between the airport and Town Hall to catch a glimpse of the band. Paul will then travel to Melbourne, Newcastle, Sydney, Brisbane, and the Gold Coast performing in stadiums – with the shows in Newcastle and the Gold Coast being his first concerts there. These dates will see McCartney return for his first live performances in Australia in six years. McCartney was last in Australia in December 2017 (which saw him win a Helpmann Award for Best International Contemporary Concert in 2018 beating the likes of Ed Sheeran), wowing audiences nationwide with a near three-hour show, the Sydney Morning Herald reporting, “If the greatest songs elicit an emotional response too powerful to properly explain, it’s safe to say no review of Paul McCartney’s tour will quite do it justice.”

Tickets go on sale Friday 11 August via frontiertouring.com/paulmccartney. The Frontier Members Presale starts Wednesday 9 August (times staggered – see website for details).

In 2017, speaking backstage at Paul’s sell-out show in Sydney, Kylie Minogue said: “Having Paul, Sir Paul, in Australia is incredible. All of Australia wants to see him; half of them can’t get a ticket! The chance for Australians to see Paul on stage singing songs that they know and love and mean so much to them is a beautiful thing and I hope he feels all the love.”

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 so many more, the Paul 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.

McCartney launched the Got Back tour in February 2022, completing 16 huge shows across the US before performing what the British Times newspaper described as the “best gig ever” with his history-making set at Glastonbury in June 2022. Fans and critics who attended the Got Back dates were unanimous in their praise:

 
The planet’s greatest living songwriter … When he’s leading a stadium packed with 70,000 fans singing along, it’s hard not to be stunned by the recognition of everything McCartney achieved
★★★★★
— The Independant
 
 
McCartney and his tightly drilled combo just kept knocking them out for three solid gold hours, one absolutely storming classic after another, sending waves of excitement up the packed hillside, and turning the biggest crowd of the 2022 Glastonbury festival into the world’s biggest choir. I mean, really, you haven’t heard a singalong until you’ve heard 200,000 voices doing the na na nas on ‘Hey Jude’
★★★★★
— Daily Telegraph
A masterclass from the greatest living cultural figure – a true privilege to behold
★★★★★
— The i Newspaper
As much as McCartney made history with the Beatles, he’s making history again… Being on stage in front of 60,000 people being able to bellow songs that you wrote 60 years prior is not something that God wrote into the human contract, but McCartney is out to prove nature and the Almighty wrong
— Variety
 

Paul and his band have performed in an unparalleled range of venues and locations worldwide. From outside the Colosseum in Rome, Moscow’s Red Square, Buckingham Palace, The White House and a free show in Mexico for over 400,000 people. To the last ever show at San Francisco’s Candlestick Park where The Beatles played their final concert in 1966, a 2016 week in the California desert that included two headline sets at the historic Desert Trip festival, a jam-packed club gig for a few hundred lucky fans at Pappy & Harriet’s Pioneertown Palace, two Glastonbury Festival headline slots and even one performance broadcast live into Space!

Featuring Paul’s longtime band – Paul “Wix” Wickens (keyboards), Brian Ray (bass/guitar), Rusty Anderson (guitar) and Abe Laboriel Jr (drums) – and constantly upgraded state of the art audio and video technology that ensures an unforgettable experience from every seat in the house, a Paul McCartney concert is never anything short of life-changing.

Make no mistake – this is a once in a lifetime event. Paul McCartney’s Got Back Australian Tour is not to be missed! Act quickly to secure your tickets.
