Paul McCartney, 83, Announces U.S. Tour—and He’s Not Slowing Down Anytime Soon

At 83 years young, Paul McCartney is once again proving that age is just a number. The music legend has announced a brand-new 19-date U.S. leg of his Got Back tour, starting September 29 in Palm Desert, California. From Las Vegas to Chicago to Atlanta, fans across the country will get the chance to experience a night of timeless hits and unforgettable energy.

The Tour That Keeps on Giving

This leg follows the success of McCartney’s Got Back tour, which kicked off in 2022 and took him through the U.S., Australia, South America, and Europe. The global run ended in London last December, where he once again wowed fans with his unstoppable stage presence.

A Setlist for the Ages

Seeing Paul McCartney live is more than just a concert—it’s a journey through decades of music history. His shows include everything from Beatles anthems like “Hey Jude” and “Let It Be”, to Wings favorites like “Live and Let Die”, and solo classics like “Maybe I’m Amazed.”

Back in February, lucky fans at New York’s Bowery Ballroom were treated to a surprise pop-up show. Only 500 people got in, but they witnessed a 100-minute set full of hits, including the 2023 Beatles track “Now and Then.” And yes—Paul was as joyful and charming as ever, dancing, grinning, and connecting with the crowd like an old friend.

More Than Just Music

Paul’s concerts are more than just performances—they’re full-blown events. He’s played everywhere from Moscow’s Red Square to the White House, Buckingham Palace, and even broadcasted live into space. And he’s bringing his longtime band along for the ride: Paul “Wix” Wickens, Brian Ray, Rusty Anderson, and Abe Laboriel Jr.—along with stunning visuals and sound that turn every venue into a world-class experience.

Wings Fans, Rejoice!

As if the tour wasn’t enough, McCartney is also releasing a new book on November 4:
WINGS: The Story of a Band on the Run.

Edited by historian Ted Widmer, the book features over 150 never-before-seen photos and personal journal entries. It traces the rise of Wings from humble beginnings to international fame. In his own words, McCartney calls it a “magic carpet” ride through one of his most exciting musical chapters.
