Did your city make the cut? Paul McCartney unveils Australian tour locations!
- Replies 16
The life and career of Paul McCartney is pretty much the definition of musical royalty. As one of the most beloved and popular artists of the 20th century, there’s no doubt the English singer-songwriter’s music has touched many generations—including your own, here at the SDC!
Now, there’s some exciting news for Aussie music lovers today because the legendary musician just announced that his Got Back tour will come to Australia this year.
In a thrilling announcement, the iconic artist revealed two regional cities alongside the usual major locations. Is yours on the list?
Legendary for his contributions alongside the famous Beatles, his stint with Wings, and his successful solo career, Sir Paul's profound popularity keeps on bridging generational gaps.
Kick-starting the tour at Adelaide on October 18th—a significant location where the Beatles first made history back in 1964 during their maiden visit to Australia—Sir Paul's performances are bound to be as rich and full as the memories of that historic debut.
Consider this: around 350,000 Australians thronged along the airport to Town Hall stretch just for a chance to see the Beatles. Yes, mates, Beatlemania was real, and guess what? It still is!
The tour proceeds to Melbourne on October 21, reaching the first-timers, followed by Newcastle on October 24.
Sydney gets its share of melodies on October 27, while Brisbane sets the stage on November 1 and Gold Coast on November 4.
This return comes four years after Sir Paul's remarkable, award-winning 2017 tour.
But why the regional cities, you ask?
Dion Brant, CEO of Frontier Touring, mentioned that Sir Paul wanted at least a few different places compared to his earlier tour in 2017.
‘We saw when Elton [John] came just how Newcastle embraced the show and embraced Elton and his team,’ he said.
‘We were super excited to suggest the [regional locations] to Paul, and we're really excited that he's agreed to do it.’
Expressions of regret from attendees who missed the 2017 performance reset the company's wheels in motion to plan Paul's return, and surely enough, despite the busy schedule of the legendary musician, the Australian stages are set again to host him.
‘People were blown away, and there was so much regret from people who didn't go, back in 2017,’ Mr Brant shared.
‘To be honest, we started conversations then about coming back the following summer… and then Paul got quite busy. And you know, it's Paul McCartney… so you take the time frame you can get,’ he continued.
So, what's in store for the audience?
An abundance of entrancing performances! As witnessed in the US last year, Sir Paul set the stage on fire for almost three hours, ruling hearts and senses with his timeless music. The magic of an eclectic mix of Beatles, Wings, and solo songs that each manage to hold their own is just something that you don’t want to miss.
A cherry on top of this musical cake is an improbable duet with the late John Lennon through the power of modern technology.
We hear tickets range from an affordable $80 to $400, with VIP packages available as well.
