Fans can look forward to hours of musical magic, featuring dozens of songs from McCartney’s solo career, his time with Wings, and of course, his legendary work with The Beatles. These songs have formed the soundtrack of countless lives over the past six decades.

This upcoming tour marks McCartney’s first UK performances since his iconic Glastonbury headlining set in 2022.
