Paul McCartney, an enduring icon of the British invasion and co-founder of the legendary Beatles, is poised to captivate audiences across North America once more with his highly anticipated “Got Back” 2025 tour. This extensive 19-date North American tour marks McCartney’s first official jaunt through the United States and Canada since 2022, confirming his continued prominence in the music world. The tour is scheduled to kick off on September 29, 2025, at the Acrisure Arena in Palm Desert, California, and will wrap up with two grand performances at Chicago’s United Center on November 24 and 25.

The “Got Back” tour is a significant chapter in McCartney’s extensive tour history, extending the previous “Got Back” tour, which saw its inception in 2022 with performances that sold out across the United States. Following that, it expanded internationally to destinations like Australia, South America, and Europe. This new leg of the tour includes notable stops in major cities such as Las Vegas, Denver, Minneapolis, and Chicago, among others. It’s a celebration not only of McCartney’s rich solo career but also of his legendary catalog from his days with the Beatles and his post-Beatles band, Wings.

For hardcore fans and newcomers alike, the tour promises a robust mix of beloved hits. McCartney’s sets typically traverse his comprehensive musical journey, featuring acclaimed tracks like “Hey Jude,” “Band on the Run,” and “Let It Be.” His performances are characterized by energetic renditions and a heartfelt connection with the audience, trademarks of McCartney’s unwavering tour presence. Supporting him on stage are long-standing members of his band: Paul “Wix” Wickens on keyboards, Brian Ray handling bass and guitar, Rusty Anderson on guitar, and Abe Laboriel Jr. on drums, supplemented by the vibrant Hot City Horns.

Presale tickets for this musical extravaganza offer an opportunity not to be missed for fans eager to secure their spots before the general public. The presale begins on July 15, 2025, with tickets becoming broadly available on July 18, 2025. Interested fans can secure access via McCartney’s official website, where additional details and registration instructions are provided. It is advisable for fans to register early to receive special presale codes and ensure their participation in this monumental event.

Paul McCartney’s influence and energy continue to be a magnetic force in the music industry, even as he approaches his 84th year. The tour showcases not just his enduring talent but also the timelessness of his music, which has resonated with fans through generations. His previous surprise performances, such as those at New York’s Bowery Ballroom and during the “SNL50” anniversary special, underscore his flair for surprising and delighting audiences.

As McCartney embarks on his tour, he further cements his legacy as a quintessential performer whose music and impact have transcended time. The “Got Back” tour is set to be a highlight of 2025’s live music scene, reinforcing McCartney’s status as an unmatched icon of musical history. This tour is not simply a series of concerts but a testament to McCartney’s enduring appeal, uniting fans in a celebration of music across North America.
