Paul McCartney is set to bring his acclaimed Got Back Tour to the UK this December, fulfilling his promise to perform in his home country once again, as he declared during his last show here in 2022.

Tickets go on sale from Friday, June 21, at 10am.

Paul said: “I'm excited to be ending my year and 2024 tour dates in the UK. It's always such a special feeling to play shows on our home soil. It's going to be an amazing end to the year. Let's get set to party. I can't wait to see you.”

As one of the most successful singer-songwriters and performers in history, McCartney has crafted a music catalogue that is beloved worldwide. With timeless hits such as ‘Hey Jude’, ‘Live and Let Die’, ‘Band on the Run’, and ‘Let It Be’, the Paul McCartney live experience is an unparalleled rock show.

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. His last show in London was at The O2 in 2018, and his previous Manchester performance was in 2011 at the Manchester Evening News Arena. These UK shows will cap off the Got Back tour's 2024 dates.
