With three years having passed since the start of Paul McCartney’s Got Back Tour, and a similar amount of time since he last did a North American leg, the legend is back on this side of the pond and ready to hit the stage for his eager audience. The Got Back Tour kicks off in September with a show in Palm Desert, California, and is set to run for 19 performances. With his long-running tour not having had North American shows in some time, it’s no surprise that tickets are nearing sold-out status already. Luckily, there are still a few avenues available if you’re looking for how to buy tickets to Paul McCartney’s 2025 Got Back Tour stops.
The Got Back Tour, which originally began in 2022, saw Paul McCartney join with the likes of Rusty Anderson on guitar, Brian Ray on guitar and bass, Paul “Wix” Wickens on keyboards, and Abe Laboriel Jr. on drums, along with the brass trio Hot City Horns. The original tour was set to wrap up after 14 stops; however, due to the great success it saw, McCartney announced he would extend it. These extensions continued into both 2023 and 2024, where the star took to the stage across Australia, Europe, and South America. 2025 marks his much-anticipated return to North America, and presently, the tour is set to wrap up in November.

Who is opening for Paul McCartney’s tour?
Currently, there is no information released on whether Paul McCartney will have an opening act for the 2025 North American leg of his Got Back Tour. His previous legs did not have openers, and as McCartney typically does not have opening acts for his solo performances, it is unlikely that there will be one for the upcoming tour leg. When the show begins, it will be Paul McCartney taking the stage.
Will there be international tour dates?
Paul McCartney’s 2025 Got Back Tour does not have any international dates scheduled. The Got Back Tour first began in 2022 and previously made tour stops across Europe, Australia, and South America. As his 2025 leg is North America-focused, all the scheduled tour stops will be in the US and Canada. The tour is currently scheduled to finish in November with McCartney’s November 25 performance in Chicago.
Will Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr tour together?
