Paul McCartney 2016 Rumors

makka:
Are you serious saying that everything is possible? Everything? Or almost everything?

What happened to the Milwaukee announcement, I'm guessing that show went the way of the dodo bird?
Don't count on it
Bob...you should come out for Summerfest. Its actually quite a good time
About 10 side stages (with one well-known headliner at 9:30 or 10:00 each night) and then the major headliner each night at the Marcus Amphitheater. They usually do a big reveal of about 100 side stage acts in late March so that should be coming shortly. Its possible the McCartney reveal will come at that time but I believe the release date is being driven by McCartney's people, not Summerfest.

I don't know about everything is possible. At least within the next 5 months chances running out quickly. Especially for Europe/UK...I would expect only 1-3 more added if any. After August, possibilities seriously open up again

Hi guys! I've just joined cos I figured this was the best place to keep abreast of Paul's tour plans. I've never seen him live before and I'm really hoping to pop my cherry this year. I'm in the UK ,so desperately hoping for some dates here. I'm getting a bit of a sweat on now cos he hasn't announced any, but it seems that its fairly standard for him to announce shows in dribs and drabs? You all seem to have a lot of experience with this; do you think UK shows are a dead cert?? Thanks! and hello again : )
What everyone else has said regarding possibility of UK shows and random announcements. My recommendations: - check back every weekday... announcements can come anytime between 8am - 5pm local time. Presales are usually between 8am-10am local time. - sign up for the pre-sales. You only have to do it once, and there's no pesky password to remember. - the show will likely be announced about 30-90 days in advances thought the average is more like 40ish days. So know what your schedule is like for the near future. - Most importantly, be ready to buy the next day! So far this year all the presales have been the morning after the announcement. General sale is anywhere from 3-10 days after announcement, but you want to give yourself every chance to score a face-value ticket. - Finally, if you have the time/money/visa to go somewhere else to see him, do it! Especially since you've never seen him before and you never know what could happen down the road (knock on wood). If he then comes to your city/country then you just go see him again
Good luck!!

Thanks! But not big on festivals and July and August I have interest in quite a few shows. Tough decisions will have to be made. Already looking at hotels and travel costs to each

Okay, right now I am "off" of every social media, so don't know if something was rumoured about other dates. If impossible is nothing - I am still waiting (and praying [seriously]).
-
No reason to give up, even small chances are a chance!
-
Actually this could quite make a sense for an european leg of the tour. I've tried to do map of this leg from the beggining in Düsseldorf ending Werchter so far. So we'll see if Rome and maybe Prague will be confirmed.
-
Treu, I approve your way of thinking!
-
And more of that, Paul has 15 days gap between 14 a 30 June. And in calendar of O2 Arena in Prague you can see that week 20-26 June is unoccupied there so far. http://www.o2arena.cz/

Stop the clocks! Paul would add a 4th concert in Argentina on May 21. http://www.lacapital.com.ar/escenario/Rosario-en-la-agenda-de-shows-de-Paul-McCartney-para-el-tramo-argentino-de-su-gira-mundial--20160318-0061.html
-
treu, I hope so! fingers crossed!
-
and btw. he is playing something, some charity show on 25th of June, so gap is smaller
-
I don't think many dates will be added in Europe.

Yes, that was quite a surprise. They're traveling to London tomorrow with an offer. Will it be accepted by Paul's team?

If the answer is "YES" I will see 4 shows in a week in 3 different cities. But too much Macca can't be bad, right?

The Marcus Amp is mostly all seated as others have mentioned save for the GA lawn up the hill far from the stage. And if you aren't crazy about fighting the crowds on the festival grounds there is an entrance gate right near the ampitheater so you don't have to navigate the sea of humanity. Not keen on festivals, either, but Paul is the one who would get me back to Summerfest! And Milwaukee is a relatively inexpensive destination. Now if Paul would only offer his VIP packages in the US for the same price as in Europe!
