2018 Tours?
-
50th Anniversary of The White Album!

Hope Paul and Ringo will again give concerts in North Carolina next year--the new Democrat governor Roy Cooper among others were instrumental in ousting the nefarious transgender "bathroom law," I believe, in the state. Hope they tour in N.C. and S.C. I will hustle my hiney to get to both their shows--recently realized I was a fool not to catch any of Starr's concerts in the past, he's sure to provide a rousing great time, a big party time, like Paul and band
-
In the first two years of the "Out There Tour", Paul performed 64 shows. During the same time period, we'll have 79 "One On One" shows. I think the current tour is done by the end of the year. With the new album coming in 2018, we need to change things a little bit. The setlist is so predictable.

Hope so! I do wonder if he skipped Texas due to everything that was going down this summer with SB4 and the bathroom bill here and all that and our loonies in charge. Thinking maybe San Antonio, Houston, New Orleans, Memphis, Lexington, Charlotte, Charleston, etc next year... maybe an ACL fest appearance finally

The Milwaukee Bucks have announced Maroon 5 to play the brand new arena opening in Milwaukee next Fall...However, they added the teaser that Maroon 5 will not be the first act to open the arena and that a HUGE MEGA STAR will be announced late this year or early next year to open the venue. Given Paul's propensity for opening new venues lately (Little Caesars, Golden 1...) could it be...?!?!?!?

He didn't actually open Little Caesars, Kid Rock did, with 6 shows.
But I do agree, he does love playing those new arenas. Paul's last Milwaukee show was Summerfest in 2016.

Hoping to see Paul in 2018....my Paul clock is ticking. 1st choice - anywhere in California. 2nd choice - Denver

History repeats itself year after year, rumors say that Mccartney will give a concert at the Summer Festival in Lucca (Italy) in 2018, along with an unlikely meeting of Pink Floyd to give a unique concert on the walls of the city of Lucca. The first is more credible, since there are many possibilities of a European tour for Paul in spring ... summer in Europe / United Kingdom ... but the meeting is of Pink Floyd ... it is very doubtful

I'm curious - would that be Pink Floyd complete with Syd Barrett and Rick Wright, or just old pals David Gilmour and Roger Waters with Nick Mason?

Pink Floyd will never reform according to David Gilmour after The Endless River came out in 2014. He and Roger Waters just don't work well together.
Though we may see some more Deluxe editions of their classic albums.

While it is true they don't work well together, they have performed together several times in recent years and each continues to record and tour their solo material. While it's safe to rule out recording any new material together- and certainly under the Pink Floyd name - I wouldn't rule out a concert with the three if the situation was enticing and convenient enough for them. And if that's the case, Paul becomes much more plausible (and he wasn't particularly implausible to begin with lol)

No signs of Paul (or the Floyd
) yet, but Ringo will appear in Lucca on July 8 (the day after his 78th birthday).

new boards - yay! I mentioned that Milwaukee rumour to family members that live there, so if they hear anything, they will let me know. I have no other news or rumours to report.
-
I don't see Paul playing in Europe next year. Maybe you know something about his upcoming gigs? I hope that Paul will won't play at the same time as Ringo in Europe
-
Just a fun guess.... I think Paul will tour 2018 extensively, but only after a new album is released or in conjunction. My bet is that he plays undervisited areas of both the USA and Europe. Hows that for a guess Bob Gannon? stirring the pot....
-
I heard that Paul will finally recognize the existence of China and play here.
Then I woke up.
-
This place is quiet like never before.. If we don't know if Macca will be touring, maybe you have some hints, rumours about part of the world which he will chose? Ringo Starr will be in Europe, and as far as I know Rolling Stones too. Maybe it's too much for Spring-Summer concert market in the Old Continent?
-
Happy New Year! I don't have any new rumours to report, sadly. But I do think Paul will do some shows this year, somewhere. He still seems to be energized by touring and doesn't show any signs of slowing down just yet.
-
California, baby.
Pleeeeeeeeze!

Hey Steve,
Well, first off, Happy New Year everyone and my sincere hopes that everyone has an opportunity to see Paul this year. I would start off by saying that it is way too early to speculate with any amount of accuracy how this year will pan out. What we do know with a pretty good deal of accuracy is that there is a new album coming. By what we know, I would say that it is safe to assume that he has resumed work on the album as per the plan he stated in his last interviews. What we don't know could fill an encyclopedia. Like is it more recording or is it final production work. Taking past timetables depending on our progress with can see the album anywhere from late 1st quarter to early 2nd quarter or as late as the 4th quarter. There is no data that i've seen or heard that makes this to narrow the scope. Depending on the plan of release could mean whether we come out as a brand new named tour or continued the "One to One" tour.
As far as touring. I would fully expect that there will be touring. Especially when you add the factor of a new album should eventually be here. As to where....if I had to make guesses without facts...I would say definitely the USA. I would think the west coast and south-southwest areas that were skipped last year. Also, as always I think there would be east coast shows...I think NY/NJ would probably be out but cities that are normal like Boston and Washington DC will see shows. I would fully expect some Canadian dates as well.
I would also expect at some point, some European and UK dates. I'd be surprised if he didn't hit those areas this year. I don't know if Japan, Australia or South America would be in the mix this year but again...that is purely speculation. Setlist changes will probably depend on when the new album drops, I don't see him playing new songs ahead of the album. It is still early to start hearing rumors as generally we start hearing March-May depending on start of the tour so don't get too wound up yet. It's a long year ahead of us
Please don't take any of this post too serious, these are not hints or based on credible information, just me speculating on what we may see from following past tour patterns. Again guys, be patient, it's a waiting game like usual and I'm sure that it won't be too long until we can get excited and have things to talk about based on factual and credible info.
I start this year extremely excited of the promise of new Paul music as I am sure the rest of you are. I look forward to more shows and hopefully one or two archive sets as well. If you are listening MPL, please listen to this fan's wish!!!! MORE ARCHIVES PLEASE!!!!
