PAUL TO BRING "OUT THERE" TOUR TO TARGET FIELD ON AUGUST 2

The annual Target Field summer concert is moving from county to classic.

 

Rena Sarigianopoulos and Eric Perkins made the announcement on K-TWIN radio and KARE 11 News at 11 Monday that Sir Paul McCartney and his band will headline the summer music bash August 2..

Tickets will go on sale next Monday, August 28 at 10 a.m. at twinsbaseball.com. Details on prices will be available soon.

McCartney played in Minneapolis with Wings in 1976 and again during solo tours in 1993 and 2005, and his latest stopover comes during a triumphant tour that has taken him around the world. McCartney began his current concert tour in Brazil and has visited 23 cities on three continents.

McCartney will be playing Target Field for the first time since the ballpark opened in 2010, and his concert will include numbers from all five decades of his chart-topping career. The native of Liverpool, England, has sold more than 100 million albums and 100 million singles with the Beatles and after, and he's written or co-written 32 tracks that have reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 list.

Target Field is the only Major League ballpark on the docket for McCartney's tour, which will also include stops at NBA arenas in Dallas, New Orleans, Atlanta and Salt Lake City, and NHL arenas in Pittsburgh and Nashville.

Rumors circulated in 2013 that McCartney would play Minneapolis, but details apparently couldn't be worked out and Kenny Chesney played to a huge crowd instead.
