24.06.2026 - 01:10:22 | ad-hoc-news.de
Paul McCartney keeps his live legacy active with his ongoing Got Back tour, which has been rolling across multiple continents since 2022. The most recent leg has focused on Canada in 2024, underscoring his continued arena and stadium draw well into his eighties, according to tour listings.
Got Back dates and cities
The Got Back tour originally launched in the United States in April 2022, with opening shows in Washington, D.C., and a high-profile stop at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. According to McCartney's official site, the run has since added shows in Latin America, Australia and Europe across 2023 and 2024.
For North American fans, the latest confirmed dates have centered on Canada, with arena and stadium nights in cities such as Vancouver, Edmonton and Toronto listed on his official tour page. These concerts build on earlier 2022 U.S. dates in New York, Los Angeles and Boston, which marked his first American shows since the pre-pandemic Freshen Up tour.
How the shows are built
Setlists on the recent Got Back dates lean heavily on McCartney's combined Beatles, Wings and solo catalog, with classics like Hey Jude, Let It Be, Band on the Run and Live and Let Die appearing consistently alongside deeper solo cuts. Fan reports from earlier U.S. stops describe a show running close to three hours, with minimal breaks.
The production mixes full-band rock arrangements with more intimate moments, such as solo acoustic segments and a virtual duet with the late John Lennon on I’ve Got a Feeling using restored rooftop footage from Get Back. This blend of archival visuals and live performance has become one of the emotional peaks of the tour.
