Paul McCartney - Got Back Tour
Brings his phenomenal “Got Back” Tour to France this December!
First French date in over six years!
Paul McCartney will bring his acclaimed Got Back Tour to France this December 4 and 5, on Paris La Défense Arena, Paris!
Fulfilling his promise to return to France at his last show here in 2018 – to the delight of fans – Paul McCartney will return to France in 2024 for a Paris show with his Got Back tour – which launched in the United States in 2022.
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.
This date will see McCartney return for his first live performance in Paris in six years - in 2018 he played at La Defense Arena, where he is making his return.
Paul McCartney launched his Got Back tour in 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. In 2023 Paul performed 18 shows as the Got Back tour rocked through Australia, Mexico and Brazil.
Fans and critics who attended the Got Back dates were unanimous in their praise:
“It’s almost unfair how deeply satisfying McCartney’s concerts are. Packed with hits by the Beatles and beyond, attempting to pick faults is like searching for the corner of a sphere.”
The Australian
“The beauty and magic of his musical artistry forged the strongest memories of this three hour treat of a concert which will ring in our ears for years to come. Most smiled, some hugged, others brushed something from their eyes as McCartney soared above the stage with just his faithful acoustic guitar and we all sang along to Blackbird.”
The Daily Telegraph [Sydney]
“The 36-song marathon ends in poetic fashion: “And in the end, the love you give is equal to the love you receive”, concludes Paul in The End, before closing the curtains on the greatest show on Earth.”
O Estado de S Paulo
“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. The Got Back Tour also features the Hot City Horns - Mike Davis (trumpet), Kemji Fenton (saxes) and Paul Burton (trombone). Hot City Horns first joined Paul in 2018 to perform at Grand Central Station ahead of embarking on the Freshen Up World Tour in the same year.
