Paul McCartney 2017 Rumors

FlowersOnTheRun:
that was only NEW, not the rest
Right, that's the only one that I remember hearing on this website. But I remember someone in the audience for Paul's Times Square show was shouting for him to play Early Days. Which makes me think that maybe that one was released earlier too? -Rubber Soul13

Do you remember which NEW songs were played before the cd's release? -Rubber Soul13
New, Queenie Eye, Everybody Out There, and Save Us were played at a surprise "pop up" show in Times Square a few days before the album was released.
Ahh, that's right. Thanks! My memory escapes me, but weren't some of the songs on the album already made available (not for buying, just for listening such as through this website) before the Times Square show? Times Square wasn't the first time we were hearing those four, right? -Rubber Soul13
See my post above. 'New' shock-released 28 August 2013, 'Save Us' and 'Everybody Out There' debuted live mid-September, a 5-track sampler (including 'Early Days' and 'Queenie Eye') leaked 5 October, full-album listening events in the form of drive-ins at 6 October, samples of all tracks including the bonus tracks arrived 9 October, and with the album having no buzz whatsoever the album eventually leaked in full just one day before Dutch street date (which at the time was stil 4 days before UK/US/rest of the world). The Time Square gig was in the afternoon of 10 October, local time, so the album had leaked by then and all songs he would play were available for at least a week already, some even for weeks.

Check out this map I created of all Paul concerts since 2002 in the United States and Canada... Sort by tour by clicking name of tour. This might provide some insight into where he might tour should he do US or Canada in 2017... https://batchgeo.com/map/96c3db2d9f94b8832ac9f3f43084c71e You can interpret this as places he frequently tours or try to find places he might not have done for a while. Enjoy!!

I was in Liverpool when Paul played iHeart, and lots of the people around already knew the songs names...
-
Paul also played a couple of tunes from the then upcoming Driving Rain cd at the Concert For New York City...held a month earlier.
-
Nothing new? Everything is quiet till March, I suppose?
-
Right, it's March! Hit me with some news!

Even if Paul comes to Toronto; it's out of my entertainment budget as I'm going to see Iron Maiden & Metallica this summer.

New York's 106.7 mentioned a rumor today about Paul playing in NYC this summer... after discussing Billy Joel's recently announced show at the Garden in July, the radio host said that he heard McCartney would also be in town at some point.

Did that radio host really think it was some kind of scoop or bold prediction that Paul will be in NYC some time in the summer?

It sounded like he had some kind of knowledge. But I guess we'll see soon enough...

Well, of course, he is always in NYC at some time or another! But this is the first NY *concert* rumour of 2017, so that's a good sign. It's just been way too quiet.
-
Oh man.. would LOVE to see some truth behind that NYC radio rumor. I'm due for a trip back to the Big Apple anyway!

Fans on the Run have said that we should be expecting an announcement any day now. It's all really up in the air to where he's gonna play
-
Europe?!
-
It looks like we don't have shows before Japan, so I think announcements will only happen in late March, as it was in 2013 when he announced Warsaw on March 20th. And before any announcement we always hear some rumor. But that has not happened yet, so I think we'll have to wait a little longer.

Last year the dates were announced on the 8th March & the year before was on the 6th so, it must be very soon

Interesting, considering there have been no real rumors. So either somebody does have the info and is just keeping very very quiet, or FOTR are just guessing based on March announcements from the last two years. The problem with Paul's announcements is that tickets tend to go on presale within one to two days afterwards, so there is not much time to decide, esp. when we never get the whole schedule.

We need to notice one thing: in 2014 and 2016, we got announcements for shows that happened in North/South America in April. In 2015, the concerts were in Europe in May. So, 1 month in advance for America and 2 months in advance for Europe. This pattern may mean that we only gonna have an announcement in March if there are concerts scheduled for Europe in May. Or we'll have to wait until April for Paul announces shows in North or South America. What really worries me is that the announcements are preceded by rumors and we haven't heard anything so far.

If I had to guess, I would say Paul will be in Latin America or Europe in May. And in the US only in the summer. Between 2011 and 2015 Macca didn't play in the US earlier in the year (just some concerts in May 2013); 2016 was an exception.
