PAUL McCARTNEY RETURNS TO CANADA AFTER SEVEN YEARS: “We Have a Great Affection for It”

Paul McCartney has announced he's extending his Got Back Tour with a new series of North American dates set for fall 2025.

Paul will kick off this 19-show leg on September 29 with his first-ever concert in Palm Desert, California. The tour is slated to conclude with back-to-back performances in Chicago on November 24 and 25.

The trek also will feature three performances in Canada—on November 17 and 18 in Montreal and November 21 in Hamilton, Ontario. The last time Paul played shows in Canada was during his Freshen Up tour in September 2017. That month, Paul performed in Quebec City, Montreal, Winnipeg, and Edmonton.

In honor of his new shows north of the U.S. border, McCartney shared a video message to his Canadian fans ( Watch Here )

“Hi, people of Canada. Paul here. Very excited, ’cause we’re coming back to Canada,” the 83-year-old rock legend said in the clip. “And it’s been seven years since we played there, so I’m really looking forward to getting back. I love Canada. A lot of my relatives emigrated to Canada, so we have a great affection for it. We’re going to Montreal and Hamilton, and we are going to rock and roll with you. So come along and see us. Canada, we love ya.”
