Paul McCartney Looks To Be Announcing 2025 ‘Got Back’ Tour

It appears that Paul McCartney is about to announce a 2025 edition of his “Got Back” tour in North America. As he’s done in recent years, the legend, who turned 83 on June 18, has teased images on some of his social media platforms. Fans have received texts showing a pair of guitar picks with his name on one and “Got Back in 2025” on another. An official announcement could take place as early as Thursday, July 10.

McCartney’s 2024 tour of South America, Central America, Mexico, Europe and the U.K. concluded, fittingly, with the second of two concerts at The O2 in London, U.K. Making the evening extra special was an appearance by the Rolling Stones’ Ronnie Wood, who joined his friend on stage towards the end of the main set to perform “Get Back.” Still later, during the encores, none other than Ringo Starr joined McCartney to perform a pair of Beatles favorites: “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)” and “Helter Skelter.”

Earlier this year, McCartney played a series of three concerts in four nights at the intimate Bowery Ballroom in New York City. The February shows preceded his live performance that took place within the SNL50 Anniversary Special. Tickets for those club dates, were priced for just 50 bucks, and were limited to one per person at the box-office only. The standing-only venue has a capacity of just 575 persons.

Venues for McCartney’s 2025 tour will be a bit larger. Reports are that the concerts will take place at stadiums.
