Paul McCartney 2016 Rumors
-
Well you know, I'm 10,000% in favor of a NYC show....very easy for me!!!
-
Macca report dated March 5th says that Paul will announce concert dates for the USA this month, which includes a rumored July show in the midwest

Based on my analysis of the past 5 years of concerts... Australia in Fall 2016...TBA
Actually, here in Australia, it is "Fall 2016" now (though we call it "Autumn" here, like the Brits). Thanks for all of the work that you put into the map. May I ask what makes you think that Paul will be here in Australia in Spring 2016, though? Cheers, Andrew.

If you look on Paul's page, the festivals are under the header Summer Festivals 2016 not under Out There. I was told back in October after the Buffalo show that it was the last Out There show so I fully expect a new name Hopefully a few new songs
Also, if you look under "Tour Archives" (http://www.paulmccartney.com/live/tour-archives),,) it lists "Out There" as running from "2013 to 2015". That seems like a pretty definite indication that there will be a new tour this year.

Hopefully he plays in NYC on the tour. It's been 3 years Paul...
Three? He played Irving Plaza LAST year!

Um only 300 non VIP people got in... Doesn't really count. Plus it was 100 minutes, not even a full length gig.

How does it not count? Sure, only a few hundred people got in, and it wasn't a full length gig, but it was still a show in NYC. It's like not counting festival gigs he does as official shows just because they're shorter.

If the Out There is trotted out for another summer, he won't do NYC. However, if it is in fact a fresh tour...I wouldn't be surprised if the whole thing is launched from NYC. No doubt the dates will be July & August.
There is no way the Out There! Tour will come back
Have we had an official announcement that it is over? I haven't heard either way. I didn't see any tour moniker attached to the June festival dates.
The Moniker Lewinsky Tour?

Yankee Stadium or Citi Field in New York City in July??? Maybe.
I personally do not see Paul doing any baseball or football stadiums this year. Last baseball stadium was Petco Park in September 2014.

fair point, but it really wasn't a proper tour gig. it was announced the day of and available at the box office only. it started at 11 pm and was a late night downtown show. it was to warmup for SNL 40. if SNL 40 didn't happen, Paul wouldn't have played the show. again, it wasn't a proper tour gig and would be shocked if Paul saw it that way. he didn't scratch the surface of demand that night and left many fans without tickets. the last time he played a proper show in NYC, open fully to the public with the proper McCartney length was in 2013, at the Barclays Center.

Did something happen in March, 2008 that would give us a clue? Just grasping at straws here.

I don't follow. You mean in terms of announcing shows?

Hope. Could be Autumn 2017 (Spring 2017 in the Northern Hemisphere). I think Paul wants to play as many states as possible, and Hawaii is one of the states he has never played. Would be easy to do a show in Hawaii on the way to / from Australia and New Zealand. Thanks for the compliments on the map.

I don't follow. You mean in terms of announcing shows? He didn't do any shows in '08.
He did four one-off shows in 2008: Liverpool, Kiev, Quebec, Israel.

Based on my analysis of the past 5 years of concerts... See my map here: https://batchgeo.com/map/96c3db2d9f94b8832ac9f3f43084c71e Paul is most likely to visit the following North American cities in 2016...
What makes you so sure that Paul is going to visit the cities you mentioned in particular?
I have been following Paul's tours for the last 6 years. Patterns have formed. You will note very few cities have hosted Paul more than once. The cities listed are cities with large indoor arenas (large enough for Paul) and located in cities which he has not visited in the last 5 years or ever. A bunch of these cities would fit with the logistics of a midwest show. Paul is currently playing festivals that he has never played before (his own bucket list perhaps?), and I think would also prefer to do different cities and visit different states. Las Vegas has a new arena and 10th Anniversary of Beatles Love is happening soon (he did a show and attended the Cirque show for the 5th anniversary). MSG I think would be more for nostalgia than anything else. We'll see shortly how accurate I am..

No, thank YOU. It was very interesting to see the spread of show cities on the map. Just to clarify regarding Australia, are there definite plans or negotiations that you know of, or is the possibility of early 2017 also just based on hope more than anything? Cheers, Andrew.

Hi Andrew...PM me.
Hi Robert, Funnily enough I tried to PM you this morning to say that I think the PM system isn't working! I received a PM notification overnight but I don't have any new PMs, so I don't know whether the system is sending out phantom notifications or PMs are going missing...it must be one or the other! EDIT: Have just sent you an email instead.
