James McCartney is touring the USA April 6 - June 11, 2013. His tour dates are here: http://www.jamesmccartney.com/?cat=6 Very cool! He is playing in Taos, NM on April 25. I am going to really try and go to that. Not sure what this means re Paul tour plans. Who knows?

So it seems its Joe Cocker..
Indeed: http://www.marshall-arts.com/news/joe-cocker-returns-to-london-this-may.html His first London gig in five and half years, so indeed a big announcement for Joe's UK fans. Oh well, back to MaccaWatch again..... Martin
Yeah i must admit i wouldn't have minded seeing Joe but its in London so that's a no go for me sadly. Still on the plus side i managed to get tickets for Fleetwood Mac come the autumn so really happy about that one but as for Paul as you say the wait goes on.

Some times this "rumors" makes me crazy...why it's to be so difficult announce one concert?

Very interesting information released today by the Secretary of the Soccer World Cup in Brasília (capital city of Brazil). He says he was approached by PlanMusic (the Brazilian company responsible for Paul's 2010/2011/2012 concerts in Brazil) about a McCartney concert in May. The Secretary suggested June as a better option, but said that if Paul decides to tour in May he will do everything possible to rearrange the stadium's schedule: http://www.correiobraziliense.com.br/app/noticia/diversao-e-arte/2013/02/08/interna_diversao_arte,348514/estadio-mane-garrincha-podera-ser-palco-para-show-do-ex-beatle.shtml And here are pictures of the 72,000-seat stadium: http://www.portal2014.org.br/andamento-obras/8/Mane+Garrincha.html

Awesome! Here in Buenos Aires people are going crazy with news of possible concerts in La Plata (2) and Cordoba.

So far the rumor mill seems strongest for South America in April-May-June. Those are the months James McCartney is touring the USA. I suspect Paul will not want to play the same market as his son. Competition, you know! I think that is very cool of him.

I do, too. Personally, I think James is a great musician, but why on Earth would the sun of a Beatle go into the music industry?

Connections??

Agreed...don't think there's any chance of Paul touring the U.S. the same time James is.
-
That's okay...I'm happy South America will have him in the spring...so we can have him for some rockin' open-air stadium shows in the summer!
-
Personally, I'd rather have the arena shows.

I like to alternate each year.

So far there are no stadium or arena shows rumored for the USA. Given that, I'll take whatever comes our way!

Brian Ray has a new band and is releasing a new single every seven weeks starting February 14 and ending July 4. Obviously, Brian can tour with Paul and release tunes, but I do wonder if this means anything, ie, Brian promoting a new band, songs, and maybe even doing some gigs with the Bayonets. Which would be COOL! If he is promoting a new band, I wonder if touring with Paul is off the sheets until July or August? Who knows?

McCartney will have a hard time finding another touring member. Oh, wait...

I think you missed my meaning. Brian is not going to give up his McCartney gig. Rather, he may be promoting a new band and CD in early to mid 2013 since he MAY have been given the green light to do so, ie, no gigs until July or August.
