Paul McCartney Concerts 2026-2027: Tour Schedule, Tickets and Cities

Who is Paul McCartney?

Paul McCartney is the Liverpool-born singer, songwriter and bassist who, as a founding member of The Beatles, changed the direction of popular music. His songs with John Lennon include generation-spanning pieces such as Yesterday, Hey Jude and Let It Be. After the Beatles split he released Band on the Run and Live and Let Die with Wings and has continued his solo career to this day.

McCartney's most recent major concert run, the Got Back Tour, ended in 2025. At the time of writing no new world tour has been officially announced, and most of the '2027 tour' pages circulating online are not official sources. When new dates are confirmed they will appear in the live FlyVentis section below.

Achievements and milestones

• Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice: with The Beatles in 1988 and as a solo artist in 1999.
• Knighted in 1997 for services to music.
• Guinness World Records has recognised him as the most successful songwriter and recording artist in history.
• In 2022 he became Glastonbury Festival's oldest solo headliner.

Tell an official announcement from a fake tour page

Search engines surface many promotional sites titled 'tour 2027' for major artists. These pages usually give no dates and simply redirect to ticket resale sites. McCartney's tours are announced on the same day through his official website and the major ticketing platforms.

When new dates are released, read the ticket scam prevention guide to avoid resale listings far above face value, and the presale and ticket queue guide to prepare for sale day.

A set approaching three hours: where to sit

Got Back Tour shows typically ran past two and a half hours with more than 35 songs. Standing for that long can be tiring, so a reserved stand seat is a more comfortable choice than a floor ticket for many fans.

The pyrotechnics during Live and Let Die are loud and hot near the front of the floor. Compare floor and stand options in the stadium concert ticket categories guide.

What to expect from the setlist

McCartney's concerts bring together the Beatles, Wings and solo eras. Can't Buy Me Love, Blackbird, Let It Be, Live and Let Die and Hey Jude were regular fixtures on recent tours, and tributes to John Lennon and George Harrison are among the show's most emotional moments.

What to know before you go

• The show is long; bring water and wear comfortable shoes.
• The 'na na na' section of Hey Jude stretches out with the crowd; save your voice.
• Hearing protection helps near the front during the pyrotechnics.
• Do not book a return flight on the evening of the concert.

How to plan travel around the concert

Secure the ticket before booking flights or accommodation. Aim to arrive at least a day before the show and stay 20–30 minutes from the venue on a direct public transport line; a same-day flight that runs late can mean missing the concert.

If the tour has several stops, compare the combined cost of ticket, flights and two nights' stay across cities rather than the ticket price alone.
