Additional Shows added to Paul McCartney’s ‘Up and Coming Tour’

Paul McCartney recently announced the first two concerts of his forthcoming ‘Up and Coming Tour‘ (Glendale AZ on 28th March and Hollywood CA on 30th March), and more shows have been added.

The first is at the Sun Life Stadium in Miami on the 3rd of April; the only Florida appearance of the tour, the April 3 gig is also Paul’s first show in Miami since he launched his massive 2005 ‘US Tour’ at Miami’s American Airlines Arena five years ago.  On April 5th Paul will play his first ever show in Puerto Rico.

In addition, unprecedented response to the presale for Paul’s March 30 return to the Hollywood Bowl has necessitated the addition of a second show on March 31. Both shows will go on sale to the general public this Sunday, February 28.

More live shows will be announced soon. For more information go to www.paulmccartney.com.

Paul McCartney Announces the First Dates of his 2010 ‘Up and Coming’ Tour

Paul McCartney has announced the first two dates of his ‘Up and Coming’ 2010 tour.

McCartney’s first live concert of 2010 will take place in Glendale, Arizona at the Jobing.com Arena on Sunday 28th March.  This will be Paul’s first appearance in Arizona since 2005′s mega ‘US Tour’.

His next show will take place at the legendary Hollywood Bowl for the first time since 1993.  Paul first appeared at the Bowl with The Beatles 46 years ago in August 1964 and then again a year later in August 1965.   These shows were recorded for a live album (The Beatles At Hollywood Bowl) that was not released until May 1977.

These will be Paul’s first US shows since his five-week ‘Summer Live ’09′ tour last year.

The new show will feature a diverse set list including 2 hours plus worth of selections spanning the catalogues of The Beatles, Wings and Paul’s solo career, including tracks from The Fireman’s 2008 album ‘Electric Arguments’.   There will be some never-before-played-on-US-soil songs added to the set list as well as the US live premiere of ‘(I Want To) Come Home’, Paul’s Golden Globe nominated track from the Robert De Niro movie ‘Everybody’s Fine’.

More live show dates will be announced soon. For more information go to www.paulmccartney.com.
