Paul McCartney 2016 Rumors
-
Looking forward to seeing what other U.S. dates are announced, and hoping I will be able to attend one. Just really hope if I am able to attend a concert, it is not in a stadium.
-
I figure it is probably revisiting markets from the Up and Coming to Out There tours and playing arenas where he played stadiums and playing Stadiums where he played arenas. He's doing arenas (and an amphitheater) in Seattle, Vancouver, and Milwaukee, where he did stadiums between 2012 and 2013, and he's playing Busch where he did an arena in 2012.

I like this idea! SF area has been AT&T park, Outside Lands & Candlestick. He's due for an arena in the area -- I vote for San Jose!!!!!

I'd look at places he didn't go to on Out There, my guesses are a stadium in Denver, an arena in Houston, and one in Miami or Tampa, and one in Cincinnati. Places that have all had performances in the past eight years but they still seem overdue for another one given their populations.

I wouldn't count Luca, Italy out yet. I looked up that festival and it last the whole month of July. Paul starts July 8th and ends around July 21 which would give room to add. July and Agust still in a state of flux
It is becoming more complicated a concert in Lucca. The only two possibilities for the "SUMMER FESTIVAL" of Lucca, is the June 22 or July 2, In some previous editions of the festival, some shows are held in June. 2005 June 19 - BLUE. 2012 June 29 - TOM PETTY. 2016 June 2- GRAHAM NASH.... but I see very complicated.

Yeah you're right on that it was just when it was mentioned how cool it would be if he played there I realised that would be excellent. But yeah I know he's never ever going to play there. Not in my wildest dreams
Another post wishing for something that's not slightly plausible? The Esplanade is an awful venue anyway, and sound is dependent on the direction the wind blows.
Aw Johnny man, are suggesting that I should stop hoping for a Macca gig at Cliftonhill stadium?

Well they need something to draw a crowd there, eh? Plus I could walk there and back from the gig - saves on travel and hotels!

I think you mean July 2nd or 22nd. Well that makes it tougher as he looks to have a show on July 21st ..doubt he'd be able to make it in time. Still leaves July 2
-
Never mind, now I see what you're saying about Luca. Already has 8 or 9 shows in June so It does not look good. Still leaves July 2nd which appears open

Are the setlist/rehearsal topics still spoiler-free?

Why still no date in Italy???? Please please please. After Verona...nothing else!
-
What with this rumour about Poland?
-
I'd like to know if Paul will be doing any gigs in his homeland!

I've been thinking the same. Now this is wishful thinking only.... Hoping he could play PNC Park (played Consol Energy Center..arena) a few years back. Billy Joel is the big name show at PNC Park this year, and in a Pittsburgh broadcast back in January, they said another big ballbark announcement could be coming. Again, just wishful thinking on my part! I prefer arenas, and would rather travel to Cleveland a few hours to see him in an arena. He's overdue for a visit there!

Can't wait for more information

I hope that's true. I'd hate for him to play the godawful Minute Maid Park again in Houston. I still think that he's going to announce an Austin date for later this year. Before the SUmmefest announcement, I figured that he was going to headline ACL Fest in October. I guess they'll resort to Pearl Jam again. I hope Texas dates are on the way!
