Paul McCartney 2017 Rumors
-
Northern Songs:
I was at the O2 last year as well, celebrating my 50th birthday, and was shocked with Temporary Secretary. I can remember listening to it on the album when I was 15. I admit it took me a few seconds to recognize it and then explain it to my wife. Of the 5 times I have seen Paul live, the show at the O2 was by far the best. An unforgettable evening. We had floor seats about 25 rows from the stage. Hopefully there will be more shows beginning early 2017
Hi! I see we were at the same show in 1993 and a day apart in 2002. I missed the 2005 show as I had 2 kids in college then and thought it was too expensive! Ha! Then I end up doing 2 sound checks in 2013 and 2014!

Not sure this rumor should be 2016 or 2017. But I hear that Paul might have a tv appearance on 12/31. Not sure what it's about..................but I have a sneaking suspicion
UK or US tv? Or perhaps Australia?
He's in St. Barts at the moment but of course he could do a remote or fly somewhere if needed.
Personally I think he should stay off the tv performances, I love Paul & his live shows but his tv performances don't do him any favours. As the Jubilee, Olympics & SNL (last year in April), weren't great performances & people have their set views on him when he performs. He performed New on a few UK shows, which were good but sadly no one talked about how it was good. It's only the bad performances that get noticed. But I do hope I get to see Paul next year with his new album on the go

Although I have loose basis for my feeling, I think it might be an announcement in regards to touring in April.......but that is just a guess. Not sure if he's left St Bart's yet so don't know if a live appearance is practical. It info is good, I'm guessing taped announcement.

You might be onto something. No TV show is live at NYE, and if a performance was taped prior to his vacation, I guess we would've heard it by now. An announcement 3+ months in advance though?!

As I have said, could turn out to be bunk but my friend has a decent track record and was quite confident. Too early to ask my #1

I have high hopes! With the new album scheduled for next year, I'm excited about 2017.

This one is: http://abc.go.com/shows/new-years-rockin-eve Tho I doubt he would come back to NYC for it; he IS in St. Barts now, or at least he was a day or two ago when the photos were published.
My guess based on Bob's comments about an April tour would be for Australia; the US would not need a big, fancy announcement since he tours here all the time. Australia would need a big, fancy announcement.

Australia would not only NEED but DESERVE a big fancy announcement.

But isn't some of that show taped ahead of time on the west coast? Yeah, starting at 1 am EST or so it says "bicoastal celebration."

Maybe it's a formal album announcement

If rumor is correct, it'll be Japan tv on New Year's. What it will be, still question. I definitely advise caution as not from one of my good sources. Plus I tried to independently confirm the info with a net search and nothing. So take all with grain of salt! Guess we'll find out soon!

Thanks, Bob, appreciate any rumours about anything at this point.

Hello Bob, Hope you are fine... What are your expectations, gutt feelings.... - release date new album - earliest, latest? - will Macca continue touring in 2017? - any chance of Europe again? Naples, Barcelona? Uk? Or even big bang and announcement of farewell tour in line with album? I saw him around 35x live since 89 and i had the impression he knows its time to stop soon.... Happy new year
-
I think that we could see the last big tour in 2017-18. He could hit up highlights- UK Southern US South America Japan Australia Western US Maybe one or two Canada or Northeast US shows I think the 2017 tour would kick off in South America, followed by US, then Europe, then Australia in the fall and end in Japan. Do a final Liverpool or London show in the spring. I still want him to do a small theatre tour like he's talked about, but it probably won't happen.

I am great Steffen, thanks for asking....wow....lots of questions. We are really too early on to know for sure As far as new album....earliest May/June......latest October/November are my guesses From what I am hearing he will be touring this year I don't thinks it's farewell, from all accounts he still loves performing too much As of this point, everywhere has a shot at this point. A lot of chatter points at Japan in April....and I would find it hard to believe that he wouldn't do Australia. After that, it's anybody's guess right now. I think a lot of it will depend on the new album release. Australia has my prayers and best wishes, it's been so long they deserve some shows! All guesses right now as things have been quiet What we do know is Flowers in the Dirt Archive March 24th!

It's been quite awhile now since a big tour. Since 2009 the average number of shows per year is 30-35. And that by no means are big tours. But they do work for his schedule and continuing to give him the needed rest. April looks very likely to be Japan.....those rumors have been strong since August that he was returning in 2017. So I'd bet my chips there. Everywhere else has been dead quiet, no rumors, no whispers, no nothing. Only other rumors floating is possibility of Australia.. we have heard that scout teams may have checked out venues... Still not a solid lead for anything. But I think that it shouldn't be too long until things start breaking....
