Last week a poster appeared in the streets showing Paul MCCARTNEY calling Madrid? Social networks were flooded with speculation that seemed to suggest that the historic member of the Beatles I would visit the city to offer a concert.
Confirmation has not been long in coming from different sources, both from Live Nationthe promoter, as since Ticketmasterwhich has indicated that it will put the sale tickets from June 21 at 10 a.m. on its website, as well as from the Wizink Centerwhich will be the space that hosts the two events that until now seem assured: the December 9 and 10, 2024.
The musician, who has 81 years is still embarked on the Got Back Tour, which began on April 28, 2022 in Spokane, in the United States and marked his return to the stage after the COVID health crisis. In 2023 he was in Australia and Latin America, where he still has some dates left in Uruguay, Argentina, Chile and Peru in October.
Now, he has also added Spain, France and, again, the United Kingdom, where the tour was supposed to end. The two events in our country are important if we take into account that eight years that the artist did not set foot in our country. He did it in the missing stadium Vicente Calderón, in front of 40,000 people and at that time he was 74 years old. She was also a mythical date because she had not performed in the capital in 14 years.
That concert was marked by the singer’s rock spirit and the nostalgia of an entire career full of hymns. It is a bit what is expected again on this occasion, although songs from his latest albums will also be added, such as those that appear in McCartney IIIwhich closed the trilogy of his solo albums that began in the seventies and in which he plays absolutely all the instruments.
For example, in the ‘setlist’ appears the live premiere of Women and Wivesbut also Beatles songs that haven’t been played in a long time, like Getting Better. Also included is a virtual duet with John Lennon to sing I’ve Got a Feeling. At least, that’s what happened at the start of the tour, where songs like Love Me Do, Get Back, Let It Be, Live and Let Die and Hey Dude.
During the performance, in addition to singing, Paul McCartney will play various instruments, including bass, electric guitar, acoustic guitar, piano, ukulele and mandolin.
