Thanks to strong initial demand for tickets, Paul McCartney is now set to play two-night stands in several cities during his upcoming North American tour.
Promoters have added second nights in Philadelphia; Auburn Hills, MI; Boston: Los Angeles; Anaheim, CA; Chicago; and San Jose, CA. Details are in the itinerary below.
McCartney will launch his outing--in support of an as-yet untitled new album--on Sept. 16 in Miami, and dates currently stretch into late November. It's been three years since McCartney last toured North America.
According to a press release, fans can expect to hear material from McCartney's Beatles, Wings and solo careers, as well as songs that "have yet to be or haven't been performed on American soil in nearly 15 years." Among the new numbers will likely be songs from McCartney's upcoming album, the release date for which hasn't been announced.
"We are looking forward to playing again in America," McCartney said in a statement. "They know how to have a good time and we're there to give it to them. It'll be fun to visit some new places, to see some old faces and to do things a bit differently this time. We're ready to rock."
Backing McCartney on stage will be drummer Abe Laboriel, Jr., guitarist Rusty Anderson, guitarist/bassist Brian Ray and keyboardist Paul "Wix" Wickens.
