Paul McCartney's Got Back tour, which began with a show in Spokane, WA, in April 2022, is returning to North America. The Beatles' legend will kick off a run of 19 shows at the Acrisure Arena in Palm Desert, CA on September 29, and bring things to a halt with a pair of shows at the United Center in Chicago, IL, in late November.

Ticket presales begin on Tuesday, July 15 at 10am, and presale registration is available now at paulmccartneygotback.com.

McCartney's band for the tour will include four familiar names in Paul “Wix” Wickens (keyboards), Brian Ray (bass/guitar), Rusty Anderson (guitar) and Abe Laboriel Jr (drums), as well as the Hot City Horns, who first played with McCartney in 2018.

The Got Back tour visited Australia, Mexico and Brazil in 2023, with more South and Central American shows following in 2024 as well as arena dates in France, Spain and the UK. According to industry sources, the first 33 dates of the tour grossed a total of $194.6 million from 1,151,961 tickets sold.
