It’s a huge surprise, and a promise kept. During his previous “Freshen Up” tour in 2018, Paul McCartney swore to the audience at Paris La Défense Arena to return to France. He will be back in the largest indoor venue in Europe on December 4 and 5, 2024. In six months! And for two evenings! One of the founding fathers of pop music, who will celebrate his 82nd birthday this June 18, will present for the first time to his French fans his new show, which has been touring for two years, “Got Back”. In reference to the title “Get Back” by the Beatles and its solid gold repertoire.
The 80,000 tickets for these two dates will go on sale on June 21 at 10 a.m. In the press release accompanying this announcement, Paul McCartney sends us his friendly greetings. “I can’t wait to return to Paris,” he wrote. We’ve done so many amazing shows in France and it’s always very exciting for me to play there. We know it will be another amazing adventure with lots of surprises and fun. I can’t wait to see you and vibe together. »
