Ads for his upcoming tour do mention...."all new..." He could just be deleting some songs that need to be given a rest and adding some from the past, but......new material seems likely as well. Audiences don't necessarily want to hear something they're not at all familiar with, or for the first time, at a Paul McCartney concert, so it would seem he would release a new album before the tour begins to generate some buzz and interest and take it from there.
All new is kind of funny because I am quite sure the set list will be like you mentioned. McCartney tours in 1989 and 1993 featured quite a few new songs from his most recent release and the world did not end for the audience - lol. Recently I watch a old video of McCartney's 1993 concert in Charlotte that was televised by FOX, crowd seem to enjoy the new songs from "Off The Ground". I agree if new record is ready, it would be wise to release it before the tour begins but since tour starts soon don't think that will happen.
On the other hand, he could certainly preview one or two about-to-be-released songs. At the 2004 Bridge School benefit, Paul played "Follow Me," introducing it as "one we just recorded," and it went over quite well. Of course, I still want the new album out yesterday.

I can't see the new album being released till October time - to catch the Christmas market. Wings Over America and Rockshow will be out soon so he won't compete with them. He is then on tour May to August and there may be other dates announced as well. So I do hope it is finished as i cant see when it would get done with all the touring he is doing. As many have said it's a long time since the last album of original songs ( not counting EA ) Many of the songs on MAF - the last album -predate CACITBY so could be from 2005 - so it may well be 8 years !

I agree, why risk oversaturation with the general public? (Two albums to promote, a film, and a tour all at once). I'm sure many of us would be fine with that, but I'd think it's all been carefully mapped out. Perhaps this will be the summer for WOA and North & South America. Wouldn't be surprised to see a break in the tour after August, then the new album indeed sometime around the holiday season just in time for - perhaps a European tour and/or return to the states in 2014.

Actually, I believe the album Paul will be promoting on this tour is the "new" "Wings Over America" reissue. He can sort of play the same list of songs now that he did on his first tour in America, after the Beatles, which resulted in the great "Wings Over America" album, and it will be an all new show! Loved the start of that one..."Venus and Mars/Rockshow" right into "Jet"!!! I read he has been rehearsing numerous songs that he performed on that first tour.
-
I believe the new studio album will be released after the promotions are finished with the Wings Tour package. I can't imagine having a brand new album and not utilizing it for the tour. Touring a37 year old repackaged kit can't project like a brand new album of new songs can. I think most of the concert goers are anticipating Paul playing new songs. After all, "new" is part of the tour campaign, and I don't think Paul's people want to disappoint. I expect a new album release to kick start the tour. So, I expect news any day now.

Probably 90% of the posters on this site are so consumed by the tour, I am actually more interested in the new album.

I'm in the same boat, for the most part. Always glad to hear of Paul being on the road, but -- frankly -- I'm glad that I'll be seeing him at Bonnaroo, because I think that'll be the most likely event when Paul might shake things up on this leg of the tour. Maybe a preview song or two -- a surprise guest to join him on stage. Never before have I been so anxious for a new McCartney album.

I am anxious too and hope it will be as good as the last few records.

I wish Paul tries to relax and enjoy the songwriting and recording process, have a lot of fun without being caught up with worries about how his new works will be perceived. To an extent, he should just please himself first, and then think about other listeners. He pleased himself with "Kisses On the Bottom" and a lot of people liked that album. A lot of fans didn't care for it but he didn't appear to get anxiety-ridden over that. MAF was a good pop album but I hope the next one has a bit more rockabilly in the mix. Just a bit. He almost seemed to be trying too hard on MAF, in places, and it was almost overkill. A little over the top. Just here and there. "Chaos and Creation" had a little of that. But it was so great to be let inside his heart and mind like that and privy to what he was thinking and feeling, as never before.
I just meant some of MAF seemed somewhat over-produced. The Beatlesque touches were quite something though

^good points. I think he's finally settled into that groove, he's been on a great run of albums since Flaming Pie. I'm just surprised that after all of the rumors I'd read the past year about his upcoming album how quiet it's been on that front. I'm wondering if it's going to drop sometime this year or maybe after he's wrapped up all of his live shows...

1. Four producers mentioned - Mark Ronson (he's given a few brief interviews) Ethan Johns (again a few brief comments) Giles Martin - Paul mentioned in February he was on his way to Air to work with him and Paul Epworth ( have not seen any comments from him) 2. Rusty tweeted in February that he had just finished a week's work with Paul on 'new' music' 3. Song titles mentioned include Hossana, Life of a Party Girl and If I Take You Home Tonight (on the Live Kisses DVD booklet) Is there any more information out there ?

Giles Martin also posted several tweets last summer/fall with pictures of Studio 2 at Abbey Road with all of Paul's guitars and amps set up and said something to the effect of "guess who."

He should run a contest & say "Guess WHEN".

This link says a summer release.
Maybe I'll get to hear some new tunes at the Ottawa gig.

Last year, Kisses came out in February and the Ram Archives edition in May, about a three month gap between the two. With that as a possible precedent and Wings Over America out in a few weeks, this would seem to indicate that the new album should be out in September if all recording/mixing/CD cover, etc. are done. At least, I sure hope that is the case and they don't hold it until November to tap into the Christmas season.
