WORDS BY STAFF WRITER

The rumours are true: The Beatles legend is coming back to Australia.

Marking the first Australian dates since his 2017 award-winning tour, Paul McCartney will bring his acclaimed Got Back Tour to Australia this October/November!

Got Back starts with an intimate arena show in Adelaide, the city where The Beatles made history in 1964 on their first visit to Australia. An estimated 350,000 people lined the streets between the airport and Town Hall to catch a glimpse of the band. Paul will then travel to Melbourne, Newcastle, Sydney, Brisbane, and the Gold Coast performing in stadiums – with the shows in Newcastle and the Gold Coast being his first concerts there.

Is Beatles legend Paul McCartney touring Australia this year?

These dates will see McCartney return for his first live performances in Australia in six years. McCartney was last in Australia in December 2017 (which saw him win a Helpmann Award for Best International Contemporary Concert in 2018 beating the likes of Ed Sheeran), wowing audiences nationwide with a near three-hour show. McCartney remains one of the most influential figures in the history of popular music.

His extraordinary talent, distinctive vocals, and innovative songwriting played a pivotal role in shaping The Beatles’ success. After The Beatles disbanded, he embarked on a successful solo career and formed the band Wings.

The Frontier Members presale starts Wednesday 9 August (times staggered – see website for details).  Tickets go on sale Friday 11 August via frontiertouring.com/paulmccartney
