🪲Got My Mind Set on You!
When John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr first stepped onto the stage at The Cavern Club in Liverpool, no one could have predicted that their music would still be filling arenas six decades later. The Beatles changed everything—from the way we listen to music to how we experience live performances. Now, as we find ourselves in 2025, one of the Fab Four continues to carry that magical torch, proving that some songs truly are timeless.
Paul McCartney has announced his Got Back 2025 North American tour, marking his first extensive series of shows across the US and Canada since 2022. At 83 years old, Sir Paul shows no signs of slowing down, recently teasing the tour announcement through his social media channels before the official reveal.
A Solo Legacy That Stands Alone
Beyond his Beatles legacy, McCartney's solo discography reads like a masterclass in musical evolution. From his debut solo album McCartney (1970) to recent releases like McCartney III (2020), he's consistently reinvented himself while maintaining that distinctive melodic genius. His post-Beatles catalog includes classics like Band on the Run with Wings, the deeply personal Ram (1971), and collaborative masterpieces like Flowers in the Dirt (1989) with Elvis Costello.
His willingness to collaborate has always been remarkable—whether working with Michael Jackson on The Girl Is Mine and Say Say Say, teaming up with Stevie Wonder for Ebony and Ivory, or more recently joining forces with Kanye West and Rihanna on FourFiveSeconds. These partnerships showcase an artist who refuses to be confined by genre or generation.
The 2025 Tour: Dates, Venues, and Dreams
The Got Back tour kicks off on September 29 in Palm Desert, California at Acrisure Arena and runs through November 25, with a finale in Chicago at the United Center. The 19-date tour represents something special—many cities will be hosting their first-ever Paul McCartney concert, including Albuquerque, New Mexico.
The tour spans iconic venues across North America, with stops in Las Vegas, Denver, Des Moines, Minneapolis, Tulsa, New Orleans, Atlanta, Nashville, Columbus, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Montreal, and Hamilton. Each location promises to be a pilgrimage site for music lovers who understand they're witnessing history.
Ticket prices are expected to range between $150 to $400 for general admission, though prices vary significantly depending on venue and seat location. Fan club members had early access to tickets starting July 15th, with general public sales beginning July 18th through Ticketmaster.
The Universal Longing
There's something deeply moving about McCartney's continued touring. We all want to see Paul McCartney if we could—not just because he's a living legend, but because his concerts feel like communal celebrations of joy, love, and the power of music to unite generations. When thousands of voices join together singing Hey Jude or Let It Be, age becomes irrelevant. The teenager discovering these songs for the first time stands next to the grandparent who remembers hearing them on the radio in 1969.
His setlists typically span his entire career, from Beatles classics to Wings hits to solo gems, creating a musical journey that feels both nostalgic and surprisingly fresh. The Got Back tour name itself suggests a return—but McCartney has never really left us. He's been here all along, crafting melodies that become the soundtrack to our lives.
This tour represents more than just concerts; it's a chance to witness one of music's greatest storytellers while we still can. Every show is a reminder that some artists transcend their era, creating music that speaks to the human experience in ways that feel both intimate and universal. In a world that often feels divided, Paul McCartney's music remains a bridge—connecting us to each other and to the simple, profound truth that all you need is love.
