Paul McCartney Announces Expansive 2025 North American Tour
Paul McCartney is hitting the road again, and fans everywhere are buzzing about his massive 2025 North American Got Back Tour. Kicking off September 29 at Acrisure Arena in Palm Desert, California, McCartney’s schedule covers 19 shows across the U.S. and Canada, with the journey wrapping up November 25 at Chicago’s legendary United Center. It’s a big moment for fans in cities like Denver, Montreal, Albuquerque, Tulsa, and Buffalo—some of whom will get to see McCartney perform live for the very first time in their hometowns.
After a brief but deeply memorable run of shows in New York City earlier in 2025, this marks his first extended North American tour since 2022. If you’ve read reviews or chatted with anyone who's caught him live, you’ll know people rave about the electrifying energy and emotional highs he brings to his concerts. Setlists run the full length of McCartney’s career—from Beatles staples like “Hey Jude” and “Let It Be” to solo powerhouses “Live and Let Die” and “Band on the Run.” He’s also known for shining a spotlight on hidden gems and deep cuts loved by diehard fans.
How Ticket Presale and Registration Work
Here’s where it gets interesting for anyone hoping to score good seats: presale tickets go up for grabs on July 15 at 10:00 AM local time, but you’ll need to register in advance. That means heading over to paulmccartneygotback.com or the official tour website to sign up for presale access. Consider this your golden ticket if you want a crack at the best spots in the house before general tickets flood the market on July 18.
MCcartney is bringing his long-standing band with him, including keyboard wizard Paul ‘Wix’ Wickens, multi-instrumentalist Brian Ray, guitar maestro Rusty Anderson, and powerhouse drummer Abe Laboriel Jr. If past tours are any indication, fans can expect a marathon show that is both a musical history lesson and a real party. Performances routinely last well over three hours with classic singalongs and emotional moments—think “Maybe I’m Amazed” echoing across the arena as thousands sing along. And yes, expect pyrotechnics and loud cheers for “Live and Let Die.”
The venues themselves add extra significance. Kicking off in the Greater Palm Springs area is a first for McCartney, and hitting spots that have never hosted him before promises plenty of new faces in the crowd. From arenas in Minneapolis and Atlanta to New Orleans and Nashville’s iconic music scenes, this tour’s route feels like McCartney’s way of saying thanks to old fans while reaching out to new generations.
With tickets bound to sell out quickly, anyone hoping to catch this living legend should move fast on registration. After all, it isn’t every day you get to sing Beatles classics with Paul McCartney leading the way.
