Paul McCartney is ready to rock with ‘US’ this fall, nearly four years after his critically hailed, Billboard Magazine Concert Tour of the Year, ‘Back In the U.S.’ swept through the U.S. Since his return to the stage in 2002, after a decade long performance hiatus, millions from countries across the globe have experienced his sold-out concerts.

But Americans can expect the unexpected when ‘US’ kicks off at Miami’s American Airlines Arena on Friday, September 16th. The all-new tour, which is planned to coincide with a new McCartney recording, will be highlighted by the classics from McCartney’s Beatles, Wings and solo career, as well as songs that have yet to be or haven’t been performed on American soil in nearly 15 years.

“We are looking forward to playing again in America,” said McCartney. “They know how to have a good time and we’re there to give it to them. It’ll be fun to visit some new places, to see some old faces and to do things a bit differently this time. We’re ready to rock.”

‘US’ will rock and roll through the United States for 28 performances that will span a nearly 11-week period before its close on Tuesday, November 29th at Los Angeles’ STAPLES Center. While highlights include return visits to Boston’s Fleet Center, New York’s Madison Square Garden, Chicago’s United Center and Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena, ‘US’ will mark a first for some. On Thursday, October 27th and on Sunday, October 30th, Des Moines, Iowa and Omaha, Nebraska will experience their first EVER Paul McCartney performance (including Beatles and Wings). In addition, Miami and Seattle, amongst other cities, will celebrate McCartney’s return after nearly 15 years.

Thanks for the info Andy.
Looks like he is going to be doing some old Wings stuff. Maybe he will break out the 4001?

As much as I love the Beatles...

When I saw McCartney during his 1992 tour, my girlfriend and I had fun booing the Beatles songs and demanding that he play the REAL stuff...Wings!*

This did not go over well with the plethora of overweight white suburban housewives that had driven in from Mississauga for the event.

Yes, rather immature of us. Agreed. But, hey, IT USED TO BE ROCK'N ROLL!!!! A little blood and guts on the floor was a good thing.

Now, it's all corporate tours and overblown theatrics;
McCartney is as bad (and as flabby and irrelevant) as they come.

Thanks, I'll save my $150.00 and go buy something that actually has something to do with music. Maybe go see a band for $10.00 at one of the local clubs, or buy a new CD from a current band that's actually trying something a little different...the way the Beatles used to. The Arcade Fire, for example. There are a ton of yong North American bands out there doing interesting stuff.

They say Life Is For The Living. Rock 'n Roll should be the same way.

(*Wings being the "REAL stuff" was intended as a lame joke, just in case someone reads this and gets their Beatles-nose all out-of-joint...no drug reference intended, unless that's your thing)

I'll be at the September 26th Boston concert, 7 rows back. I'd have him autograph my Hofner bass if it wasn't such a pain in the ***. If I'm able to get backstage passes I definately will!!
