Paul McCartney is hitting the road again this year for his "Out There" tour, and the latest stop announced is in Brooklyn—the former Beatle will take the Barclays stage for two shows, on June 8th and 10th.
"The first-time engagement for Paul at the venue is his first New York appearance since last year's historic 12-12-12 benefit [ed. note: with Macavana] and continues a tradition of legendary NYC area McCartney concerts including 2011's Yankee Stadium doubleheader, 2009's inaugural Citi Field three-play, and stretching all the way back to The Beatles' 1965 musical christening of Shea Stadium."
The press release also notes that the tour will feature "brand new, never before seen production and, as ever, hours of material from the most beloved catalog in popular music, with Paul performing songs spanning his entire career—as a solo artist, member of Wings and of course The Beatles." The show will last about THREE HOURS. Tickets go on sale Monday, April 22nd, at 10 a.m.
His tour will also take him to Orlando, Austin, Memphis, Tulsa, Boston, Washington D.C., Indianapolis, Milwaukee, and Seattle.
