The itinerary begins with an arena show in Adelaide, a city of great historical relevance to Paul as it was where The Beatles attracted an estimated crowd of 350,000 to the streets of the city on their first visit in 1964. He and his band will then play stadium shows in Melbourne, Newcastle, Sydney, Brisbane, and the Gold Coast, with the Newcastle and the Gold Coast shows being his first concerts there. McCartney last played in Australia in 2017.

“I’ve got so many amazing memories of my time in Australia over the years,” he says. “Our last trip was so much fun. We had such an incredible time. Each show was a party, so we know this is going to be incredibly special. Australia we are going to rock! I can’t wait to see you.”

The dates mark the continuation of the Got Back tour, which opened, post-Covid, in April 2022 with an extensive US leg, followed by his celebrated headliner at Glastonbury Festival in June. The tour continues to feature constantly upgraded state of the art audio and video technology, and his regular touring band of Paul “Wix” Wickens (keyboards), Brian Ray (bass/guitar), Rusty Anderson (guitar). and Abe Laboriel Jr (drums).
