“I’ve got so many amazing memories of my time in Australia over the years. 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.” - Paul

Paul will bring his acclaimed Got Back Tour to Australia this October/November!

Got Back starts with an intimate arena show in Adelaide, the city where The Beatles made history in 1964 on their first visit to Australia. An estimated 350,000 people lined the streets between the airport and Town Hall to catch a glimpse of the band. Paul will then travel to Melbourne, Newcastle, Sydney, Brisbane, and the Gold Coast performing in stadiums – with the shows in Newcastle and the Gold Coast being his first concerts there. These dates will see Paul return for his first live performances in Australia in six years. Paul was last in Australia in December 2017 (which saw him win a Helpmann Award for Best International Contemporary Concert in 2018), wowing audiences nationwide with a near three-hour show.

With songs like ‘Hey Jude’, ‘Live and Let Die’, ‘Band on the Run’,  ‘Let It Be’ and so many more, the Paul McCartney live experience is everything any music lover could ever want from a rock show: hours of the greatest moments from the last 60 years of music – dozens of songs from Paul’s solo, Wings and of course Beatles catalogues that have formed the soundtracks of our lives.

Paul launched the Got Back tour in February 2022, completing 16 huge shows across the US before performing what the British Times newspaper described as the “ best gig ever ” with his history-making set at Glastonbury in June 2022.

Featuring Paul’s longtime band – Paul “Wix” Wickens (keyboards), Brian Ray (bass/guitar), Rusty Anderson (guitar) and Abe Laboriel Jr (drums) – and constantly upgraded state of the art audio and video technology that ensures an unforgettable experience from every seat in the house, a Paul McCartney concert is never anything short of life-changing.

Hints and tips for improving your chances of getting Paul McCartney tickets

Make sure you have a my ticketmaster account.

Get the basics covered before tickets go on sale by logging in and checking your Ticketmaster account ahead of time. If you don’t have a Ticketmaster Account then make sure you sign up in advance –  Ticketmaster.com.au .

Sign into your My Ticketmaster account ahead of time

Remember to triple check your passwords, account information, and billing information are all filled in correctly in advance, that way you’re not facing any last-minute account updates when trying to process your order.

Keep your options open with ‘Best Available’

Save time by searching “Best Available,” which scans all sections fast – it’s quicker than searching sections one at a time.

Keep an eye on the clock

There will be a time limit applied to all transactions as you are progressed through the ticket purchasing stages. Remember to keep an eye on the timer on your screen and move through the processing pages as quickly as possible (this is even easier when you’ve completed the account set-up stage we mentioned above).

Don’t refresh your screen

Stick to one window while you’re in the  Waiting Room  and when you’re being pushed through  the Smart Queue  and always resist the urge to refresh.

Hitting the refresh button means you’ll lose your place in the queue and, as frustrating as it can get, patience is the only way to win this game. Ticketmaster is equipped with sophisticated systems that are designed to manage and process ticket purchases as quickly as possible. The queuing system that appears on your screen will place you at the front of the line as soon as possible.

Remember: there are a lot of fans

We’re expecting this to be a very popular event. When a popular event goes on sale there are hundreds, and sometimes thousands, of customers all attempting to purchase tickets at the same time. Tickets are sold as long as seats are available, and when an act is this popular, sometimes they go very quickly.

Be sure to follow the above tips to ensure you have the best chance of snapping up some tickets.

Paul McCartney announces Australian tour, regional cities included in line-up

Legendary musician Paul McCartney has announced he will bring his Got Back tour to Australia this year, with two regional cities on the line-up.

Key points:

• Sir Paul will play Adelaide, Melbourne, Newcastle, Sydney, Brisbane, and the Gold Coast
• His US tour featured a catalogue of Beatles, Wings, and solo hits across nearly 3 hours
• The show features a duet with the late John Lennon using modern technology

The English singer-songwriter who gained worldwide fame with The Beatles will hold shows in Newcastle and the Gold Coast for the first time.

The tour will kick off in Adelaide on October 18, the city where The Beatles made history in 1964 on their first visit to Australia .

An estimated 350,000 people lined the streets between the airport and Town Hall to catch a glimpse of the band.

Sir Paul will then travel to Melbourne for a show on October 21, Newcastle October 24, Sydney October 27, Brisbane November 1, and the Gold Coast on November 4.

This will be his first time in Australia since his award-winning tour in 2017 . 

Regional cities on the line-up

The tour will include first visits to Newcastle and Gold Coast.

Frontier Touring CEO Dion Brant said Sir Paul wanted "at least a few places different" to his 2017 tour.

" We saw when Elton [John] came just how Newcastle embraced the show and embraced Elton and his team," he said.

"We were super excited to suggest the [regional locations] to Paul and we're really excited that he's agreed to do it."

Mr Brant said the company had been wanting to get Sir Paul back after his visit six years ago. 

"People were blown away and there was so much regret from people who didn't go, back in 2017," he said.

"To be honest, we started conversations then about coming back the following summer … and then Paul got quite busy.

"And you know, it's Paul McCartney … so you take the time frame you can get."

What can the audience expect?

Mr Brant said fans can expect a jam-packed show. 

"In the US last year he was playing for just under three hours, plays dozens of songs, and the set lists are all over the internet. But it's hit after hit after hit," he said.

"I think that the interesting thing with Paul is he's got such a deep catalogue of Beatles songs, Wings songs, and solo hits, that you know it's impossible to fit them all in.

"But he has a fair go for somebody his age."

The show features a duet with the late John Lennon using modern technology.

Mr Brant said tickets start around $80, up to around $400.

VIP packages will also be available.

One of the greatest songwriters of all time, Paul McCartney , is returning to Australia this October and November on his Got Back tour.

The announcement arrives just days after The Music reported on a potential tour down under from the Beatle .

Starting with an arena show at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre, McCartney will then head to stadiums in Melbourne, Newcastle, Sydney, Brisbane, and the Gold Coast, with the singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist performing in Newcastle and the Gold Coast for the first time.

McCartney’s return to Australia comes after his lauded 2017 tour, which won the prestigious Helpmann Award for Best International Contemporary Concert in 2018 and had The Music ’s Bryget Chrisfield in awe, writing about Macca’s Melbourne gig at AAMI Park , “Many dreams come true this evening as families unite to celebrate one of the all-time greats. We laugh, we cry, and somehow feel there's still some hope left for our doomed planet.”

Brought to our shores by Frontier Touring , the Members’ pre-sale begins on Wednesday, 9 August, with staggered times, which you can find on the Frontier Touring website .

“Australia, we are going to rock! I can’t wait to see you.” Check out a video message from the man himself below.

McCartney’s upcoming stops in Australia are the singer’s first tour dates since his iconic headlining slot at Glastonbury Festival last year, which saw him joined by none other than  Dave Grohl , who made his first on-stage appearance since the  passing of Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins .

Frontier Touring will also bring  Foo Fighters  and  Taylor Swift to Australia later this year and in early 2024.

Paul McCartney’s Australian comeback tour awash with love, Lennon tributes and Beatles medleys

Adelaide Entertainment Centre The former Beatle delves deep into his songbook for three hours of humour, pyrotechnics and ‘sweet memories’

“W hen we were kids, you couldn’t really say to each other that you loved each other,” Paul McCartney reflects midway through the first show of his Australian tour. “You tried to be hard, young guys. We never got around to it really.”

For a musician whose back catalogue is, famously, not short of love songs, it’s a poignant reflection: while the Beatles were conquering the world with pop ditties like Love Me Do and Can’t Buy Me Love – both of which we’ll hear tonight – in their prime they never quite articulated the deep, life-changing bond between them. And what else could you call it but love?

Half a century later, in his first set in Adelaide in 30 years, he’s making up for lost time. On his seven-date Got Back tour McCartney is due to play some of Australia’s biggest arenas, but has opted to start it off with a relatively small and very sold-out 8,000-capacity show: the first Australian city he ever played is a gentle setting for his first live appearance since Glastonbury over a year ago .

Eighty-one years old, spry and light on his feet, McCartney and his longtime band get some Wings stuff out of the way early, McCartney holding it down on bass while his comrades shred on guitar and horns. There’s a twinkle in his eye, an old hand still hooked on the formula of a few mates, some guitars, some drums and a stage.

It’s during Let ’Em In from 1976’s Wings at the Speed of Sound, that something happens that feels so surreal it provokes an almost physical response: McCartney throws his head back and wails, “Yeah, yeah, yeah”. You know what I mean. It’s a sound ingrained in pop culture, tested out in Liverpool living rooms, shaped in noisy Hamburg nightclubs and belted over the screams of girls and maybe a few boys in stadiums whose public announcement systems were no match for the sheer volume of Beatlemania.

A few other moments approach it: McCartney’s fingers nimbly picking out a rubbery bassline on that well-loved old Höfner. Those same fingers plucking out the melodic runs of Blackbird that every aspiring high school guitarist tries to nail and, according to McCartney, fails. (“How many people here tried to learn Blackbird?” he says. “And you got it wrong.”)

It isn’t all about the past, of course. McCartney intersperses songs such as Let Me Roll It, Got to Get You Into My Life and Maybe I’m Amazed with newer tracks and deep cuts. He and his band know which option crowds prefer: “When we play an old Beatles song the place lights up with all your phones, it’s like a galaxy of stars. When we play a new song … it’s like a black hole. But we play ’em anyway!”

As he revealed in a fan event the day before, this “hobby” of songwriting – a bottomless lucky dip pitting “skill” against “magic” – will never get old to him.

Some of the newer songs are, at least, not bad. Come On to Me from 2018’s Egypt Station packs an appropriate amount of horniness for an octogenarian, served with a wink and some nice organ on the chorus.

He has another laugh while trying to read signs held up in the crowd: “Sign my butt ? No no no!” Then, “Oh come on, let’s have a look at it.”

Midway through, a screen cuts the stage in half as McCartney and the band play a few stripped-back numbers before an image of a boarded-up old house. “Let’s hear it for a long time ago,” he says, before launching into an old skiffle track, the first thing the proto-Beatles recorded.

It’s at this point that he reflects about his love for his old friend, performing Here Today from 1982’s Tug of War. “I wrote this song after John died – let’s hear it for John,” he says, before singing: “I am holding back the tears no more, I love you.”

Later, a weathered ukulele signals another tribute. “This one was given to me by George,” he says, launching into a jaunty music hall take on Something. It’s lovely.

A thick succession of rolled-gold classics rounds out the first three hours. Live and Let Die features flames and pyrotechnics you might expect from an AC/DC concert, while a medley of medleys (You Never Give Me Your Money turns into Band On the Run) is an unexpected delight – he’s never played the former in Australia before.

In the encore, McCartney reprises the Peter Jackson-assisted redux of I’ve Got a Feeling that he showed off at Glastonbury, with McCartney duetting with footage of Lennon filmed on the Abbey Road rooftop before it all fell apart. I expected to cringe at this digital resurrection, enabled by AI tech that seems poised to undermine the creative spark, the very human spark, upon which all this is built. But it’s quite moving. “So amazing to be singing along with John again,” Paul says. “Sweet memories.”

They then finish the rest of the Abbey Road medley, Golden Slumbers right through to The End. As McCartney sings about carrying that weight, it hits differently than it did in those sessions, the band barely keeping it together for one last ride. His voice is a little shaggier, his mop a little greyer, but it seems the past is a weight McCartney carries lightly – with love, remembrance and, occasionally, an ear-splitting “Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!”

The Got Back Tour previously ran from 28 April to 16 June 2022 . McCartney has never before retained a tour name with more than a year’s break in between dates.

Hi there. Hey listen, I’ve got some good news for you. We’ll be coming back on the road. Getting out with the band and playing places, some of which we’ve never played before. So we’re really excited, we’re coming back! We got back!

The Australian dates will be McCartney’s first in the country since 2017, and his first anywhere since his headlining appearance at the Glastonbury Festival in June 2022.

Here’s the press release:

Paul McCartney brings his phenomenal Got Back tour to Australia this October/November! 1 Aug 2023 “I’ve got so many amazing memories of my time in Australia over the years. 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.” Paul McCartney will bring his acclaimed Got Back Tour to Australia this October/November! Got Back starts with an intimate arena show in Adelaide, the city where The Beatles made history in 1964 on their first visit to Australia. An estimated 350,000 people lined the streets between the airport and Town Hall to catch a glimpse of the band. Paul will then travel to Melbourne, Newcastle, Sydney, Brisbane, and the Gold Coast performing in stadiums – with the shows in Newcastle and the Gold Coast being his first concerts there. These dates will see McCartney return for his first live performances in Australia in six years. McCartney was last in Australia in December 2017 (which saw him win a Helpmann Award for Best International Contemporary Concert in 2018 beating the likes of Ed Sheeran), wowing audiences nationwide with a near three-hour show, the Sydney Morning Herald reporting, “If the greatest songs elicit an emotional response too powerful to properly explain, it’s safe to say no review of Paul McCartney’s tour will quite do it justice.” Tickets go on sale Friday 11 August via frontiertouring.com/paulmccartney. The Frontier Members Presale starts Wednesday 9 August (times staggered – see website for details). In 2017, speaking backstage at Paul’s sell-out show in Sydney, Kylie Minogue said: “Having Paul, Sir Paul, in Australia is incredible. All of Australia wants to see him; half of them can’t get a ticket! The chance for Australians to see Paul on stage singing songs that they know and love and mean so much to them is a beautiful thing and I hope he feels all the love.” Irrefutably one of the most successful singer-songwriters and performers of all time, McCartney is behind the most beloved catalogue in music. With songs like ‘Hey Jude’ , ‘Live and Let Die’ , ‘Band on the Run’ , ‘Let It Be’ and so many more, the Paul McCartney live experience is everything any music lover could ever want from a rock show: hours of the greatest moments from the last 60 years of music – dozens of songs from Paul’s solo, Wings and of course Beatles catalogues that have formed the soundtracks of our lives. McCartney launched the Got Back tour in February 2022, completing 16 huge shows across the US before performing what the British Times newspaper described as the “best gig ever” with his history-making set at Glastonbury in June 2022. Fans and critics who attended the Got Back dates were unanimous in their praise: ‘The planet’s greatest living songwriter … When he’s leading a stadium packed with 70,000 fans singing along, it’s hard not to be stunned by the recognition of everything McCartney achieved’ – ★★★★★ The Independent ‘McCartney and his tightly drilled combo just kept knocking them out for three solid gold hours, one absolutely storming classic after another, sending waves of excitement up the packed hillside, and turning the biggest crowd of the 2022 Glastonbury festival into the world’s biggest choir. I mean, really, you haven’t heard a singalong until you’ve heard 200,000 voices doing the na na nas on ‘Hey Jude” – ★★★★★ Daily Telegraph ‘As much as McCartney made history with the Beatles, he’s making history again… Being on stage in front of 60,000 people being able to bellow songs that you wrote 60 years prior is not something that God wrote into the human contract, but McCartney is out to prove nature and the Almighty wrong’ – Variety ‘A masterclass from the greatest living cultural figure – a true privilege to behold’ ★★★★★ The i Newspaper Paul and his band have performed in an unparalleled range of venues and locations worldwide. From outside the Colosseum in Rome, Moscow’s Red Square, Buckingham Palace, The White House and a free show in Mexico for over 400,000 people. To the last ever show at San Francisco’s Candlestick Park where The Beatles played their final concert in 1966 , a 2016 week in the California desert that included two headline sets at the historic Desert Trip festival, a jam-packed club gig for a few hundred lucky fans at Pappy & Harriet’s Pioneertown Palace, two Glastonbury Festival headline slots and even one performance broadcast live into Space! Featuring Paul’s longtime band – Paul ‘Wix’ Wickens (keyboards), Brian Ray (bass/guitar), Rusty Anderson (guitar) and Abe Laboriel Jr (drums) – and constantly upgraded state of the art audio and video technology that ensures an unforgettable experience from every seat in the house, a Paul McCartney concert is never anything short of life-changing. Make no mistake – this is a once in a lifetime event. Paul McCartney’s Got Back Australian Tour is not to be missed! Act quickly to secure your tickets.

Paul McCartney Kicks Off 2023 Tour in Australia: Videos + Setlist

The post Paul McCartney Kicks Off 2023 Tour in Australia: Videos + Setlist appeared first on Consequence .

Paul McCartney kicked off the Australian leg of his 2023 tour at Adelaide Entertainment Centre on Wednesday night (October 18th), marking his first live performance in more than a year.

During the nearly three-hour set, McCartney mixed in his own solo hits alongside his work with the Beatles and Wings. As with his previous “Got Back” concerts , Macca opened the show with “Can’t Buy Me Love” before going into Wings’ “Junior’s Farm” and “Letting Go.” This was followed by his first performance of the Beatles’ “She’s a Woman” since 2004.

Though none of the songs from Macca’s most recent album,  McCartney III , made the setlist, he did run through “Fuh You” and “Come On to Me” from 2018’s  Egypt Station . He also reached back into his catalog for songs like “Maybe I’m Amazed,” “Here Today,” and “Dance Tonight.”

And as he has in the past, McCartney played The Quarrymen cut “In Spite of All the Danger.” Among the Beatles highlights were “Hey Jude,” “Love Me Do,” “Ob La Di Ob La Da,” “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise),” and “Helter Skelter.”

Check out fan-shot footage and the full setlist below.

The “Got to Get Back” tour marks the former Beatle’s first run of Australian shows since 2017, where he only played shows in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth. While the latter has been forgone on his 2023 tour, he’ll still be playing Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane, adding Adelaide, Newcastle, and Gold Coast to his itinerary.

“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 “Got to Get Back” tour launched in February last year, with the 81-year-old taking on a huge run of shows throughout North America and Europe. He’ll be kicking off the Australian leg in Adelaide, a city that holds a special place in the history of The Beatles.

In 1964, the Beatles’ first touched down in Adelaide to kick off the Australian leg of the first-ever world tour. An estimated 350,000 people took to the streets between the airport and Town Hall just to get a peep at Paul, John, Ringo, and George. This marked the band’s only tour of Australia.

Frontier Touring CEO Dion Brandy talked about the upcoming Australia tour:

“At least a few places different.  We saw when Elton John came just how Newcastle embraced the show and embraced Elton and his team. We were super excited to suggest the to Paul [McCartney] and we are really excited that he’s agreed to do it.

People were blown away and there was so much regret from people who didn’t go, back in 2017. To be honest, we started conversations then about coming back the following summer… And then Paul got quite busy. And you know, it’s Paul McCartney … So you take the time frame you can get.”

Paul McCartney also shared a statement about the 2023 Australia tour:

“I have got so many amazing memories of my time in Australia over the years. 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.”

Paul McCartney's Iconic Tour Bus To Go Up For Auction, Expected To Sell For Over $200,000

• Paul McCartney is auctioning off his iconic Wings tour bus from 1972, expected to sell for over $200k.
• The tour bus was a family affair, with Paul, Linda, and their three kids traveling together during the tour.
• Paul McCartney's band Wings was a pivotal moment in his career post-The Beatles, but his family was always his priority.

A lucky fan might get the chance to buy a piece of music history. Paul McCartney has decided to put one of his tour buses up for auction, and it's a very special one. While obviously his most famous band is The Beatles , just years after they broke up, he and Linda McCartney put together another hugely successful group: Paul McCartney & Wings . This band was one of the most important groups of the '70s and meant a lot to his solo career.

Paul McCartney Reveals How He Almost Changed The Words One Of 'The Beatles' Most Iconic Song

Now, he's parting ways with the psychedelic tour bus that took his band and his family all over Europe during their first big tour in 1972. The auction of the iconic bus is expected to sell for a staggering amount of money. The auction starts in just five days.

Paul McCartney's Iconic Wings Tour Bus Expected To Sell For Over $200 Thousand

From April 22 to 29, the double-decker tour bus that took Paul McCartney's band Wings all over Europe in 1972 will be up for auction and is expected to reach between £150,000 and £200,000 , with the higher end being almost $250 thousand .

The bus has been kept in almost perfect period condition, and pre-bids are already open for eager fans who want to get ahead. The double-decker has been restored, with the art on it, a clear homage to the iconic Yellow Submarine aesthetic, looking as impeccable as it did back in 1972 .

This tour was a very important one for Paul McCartney, as it was the first big tour of his new band after the painfully public breakup of The Beatles . The band had been working hard for a year prior, establishing themselves playing small shows at English universities, but this was the first time they would be playing big venues, something McCartney hadn't done since The Beatles stopped touring back in 1966.

He had put out a couple of solo albums before Wings , which he wrote with his wife Linda McCartney, and since he wanted her to play with him on Wings as well, he taught her to play piano and asked her to join his new band.

The McCartney Family Lived On That Bus During The Tour

A very well-known fact about Paul and Linda McCartney is that, during their marriage, they never spent a night apart from each other ( except when Paul was arrested in Japan, but that's another story ). The couple were very family-oriented, and while they loved making music together, their children always took priority.

So, in 1972, despite only going on tour for a month and a half, they made sure the tour bus was kid-friendly, as they took their three daughters, Heather, Mary, and Stella McCartney with them, something they repeated on every tour while the kids were little .

Paul McCartney's Son James Louis Is Also A Musician, But Has Different Views When It Comes To His Personal Life

"Our main reason was, we worried about leaving the kids at home and then getting a nanny or somebody ringing up saying 'oh they’ve gone into hospital' or 'they’re very ill', and we’d be far away in Australia or something," Paul McCartney explained.

Bringing them on tour didn't mean they were neglectful, though. "When we decided to bring them along we tried to be very careful about the sensible stuff like their education. We did things like going to their school and asking the teachers what the class are going to be doing while we’re away, and then we had a tutor that came with us - the kids hated him! They did not like being told in the afternoon that it was 'school time!'. They’d protest: 'No, we wanna go to the beach!'" the Beatle recalled amused .

Paul McCartney and his kids now look back to that time fondly and have no regrets about sharing touring as a family.
