Paul McCartney 2017 Rumors
-
Interview with Brian Ray "So what are your plans for the rest of the year? Well, I have been working very hard at writing and recording and producing, co-producing, some new singles, as I talked about for me and also for the Bayonets. So you're going to get a new single every couple of months from me and also from the Bayonets and you're also going to probably see some announcements from Paul McCartney in the not-too-distant future although I cannot guarantee that. I'm going to Japan first, though, in about five weeks from now, with Paul." https://glidemagazine.com/181415/brian-ray-lead-guitarist-paul-mccartneys-band-story-tell-interview/

I wish there would be a good rumor or an announcement about 2017, but apart from Japan, there isn't. It's very hard to make plans.....

But life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.

Have not seen this board being as quiet on the rumor front at this point in the year than in years' past; hopefully some chatter starts soon.

The promoters are really keeping the secret this time. Or maybe he won't be on stage in May. I'm so confused this year
-
I think the time has passed for any US concerts in May. But maybe some more Asian dates? I genuinely hope that MPL is trying to line everything up and make ONE tour announcement to coincide with an album release in June. Maybe they are finally getting sentimental and tying in some anniversaries too? Sgt. Pepper turns 50 on June 1st...and the big man himself turns 75 on June 18th...
-
MPL's focus right now seems to be on the FITD remaster, which will be released this Friday. Perhaps after it gets some more press coverage and a little time has passed we will see more tour announcements? If so, I would guess announcements in early April for concerts in May, either in the US or somewhere else. Last year there were announcements in March for concerts in April in the US, plus an announcement in April for concerts in May in Argentina, so a 4-week (or 6-week) advance notice this year would not be surprising.

It looks like Macca is off the road at the end of May due to Wix's commitments. Read paragraph 3... A Rock against Cancer All Star Band RAC-all-starsAfter a recent change to his touring dates we are super excited to announce that Paul "Wix" Wickens will be assembling a very special band to headline Rock against Cancer this year. Who's he? OK, so the name may not be familiar, but "Wix" has been Paul McCartney's keyboard player and musical director for many years. He joined Paul McCartney's band in 1989 and he's appeared on most studio albums since then and on all of the live Paul McCartney albums. He has performed and recorded with many artists as well: Elton John, Joni Mitchell, Bon Jovi, Bob Dylan, Nik Kershaw, Edie Brickell, Tim Finn, John Kilzer, David Gilmour, and Bill Payne... too many artists to list. Paul McCartney has kindly shifted some gigs to allow Wix to gather a band for us in May. We'll announce who's joining him as soon as we can...

"Paul McCartney has kindly shifted some gigs to allow Wix to gather a band for us in May" Suggesting that there were originally going to be gigs in May? shifted to when? So many questions, so few answers

Think it's U.K. But not a Paul show, a rock against cancer show where Wix is forming ab All Star Band for the show

Thanks for posting. Source for this article, please? Bob, anything coming up for summer, do you think? Very quiet year so far, guess Paul decided to cut back on gigs.

I checked last night, thiscarticle came up in several places. As far as summer, tough to tell right now. Been eerily quiet. Tough to determine but maybe priority being given to finishing the album and then touring later with some of the new songs included. Just a pure guess, it could be as simple as they are just planning late. Time will tell, I haven't heard anything to suggest not touring this summer or scaling back so it's a wait and see at the moment

Seems that way. Finishing the album makes sense, esp. now that there's all the press stories about him working on it. Just feels a bit like a scale-back because in 2015 he did Japan, Korea and the UK in April/May; and in 2016 he did the US and S.A. in April/May. He didn't do anything in May 2014, tho, I don't think; so I guess maybe we've just been spoiled for the past two years?
