On Tuesday, June 18, Paul McCartney turns 82 years young.
The day before that, the former Beatle announced he’s added eight European concert dates to his ongoing ‘Got Back Tour.’
In total, McCartney now has 13 gigs lined up this year at venues in countries as varied as Uruguay, Argentian, France, Spain and his home, United Kingdom.
They’re biggies, too. Sir Paul’s show in Paris will be his first since 2018; he hasn’t performed in Spain since 2016.
And if you want to see the “Blackbird” singer deliver timeless classics like “Hey Jude,” “Can’t Buy Me Love,” “Maybe I’m Amazed,” “Let It Be” and the triumphant “Abbey Road” finale live overseas, tickets for some shows are available as soon as today.
Fans can purchase tickets for select, upcoming ‘Got Back’ concerts on sites like Vivid Seats; the official on-sale is Friday, June 21.
Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.
They have a 100% buyer guarantee that states your transaction will be safe and secure and will be delivered before the event.

Ringo Starr tour
Macca isn’t the only Fab Four member on the road this year.
Fellow former Beatle Ringo Starr is also pounding the pavement once again. The only difference is Ringo is taking his All Starr Band to venues all over the U.S. instead of overseas.

Paul McCartney new music
McCartney has had a busy week.
In addition to the tour announcement, he also dropped the long lost 1974 album “One Hand Clapping” featuring unheard versions of Wings classics like “Jet” and “Maybe I’m Amazed” as well as a few goofy reimaginings of Beatles tunes “Let It Be” and “The Long And Winding Road.”
Pitchfork claimed the sprawling album “is the photo-negative counterpart to Get Back: Instead of capturing the casual genius of pulling future classics out of thin air, it showcases McCartney’s willingness to rough up and rearrange his songbook.”
