Paul McCartney 2021 - Rumours
-
I'm afraid that if the tour was cancelled, it's because Paul is not sure if he will want to tour next year and doesn't want to be bind to it.
Said that, I think the fair thing would be, if he tours, try to play in the palces where he was supposed to this years.
I'm very sad now, because I was going to take my daughter to see him and she may have lost her only chance to see a Beatle live recently after she had asked me if she would never bee able to see them. It was a big happiness when I managed to get some good tickets for taking her to see him and now we lost that chance. She's angry.
I understand the cancellation, but I would not understand, if he tours again, to tour to a totally different part of the world before the places where he was supposed to go.

If Paul does tour again next year, then hopefully he'll scale things down,keep things low key and just tour the UK. As he reaches his 79th birthday, it would be rather fitting to complete the circle by finishing off his live career in the way that it started, by just doing smaller intimate gigs 'locally'.

Good idea.

I always thought it would be cool if he did an acoustic tour kind of like Springsteen did years ago. Why not end live career with acoustic concerts in smaller venues in UK with concert being at most 60-75 minutes long. Of course, film it and then sell the DVD's of the concert to the rest of the world.

It will be difficult for any performer to tour in the near future even if there is a cure/vaccine. 30 million people have filed for unemployment just in the USA. It would be hard for him to tour charging $600-$700 for a pair of face value tix or $3,000 for a pair of soundcheck tix. 2022 at the earliest if he chooses to play live again IMHO.

Agreed.
Plus I really doubt he will feel like putting up big shows again moving ahead. He's turning 78 in a month and you can really feel he's been aging lately.
I have a feeling he will focus on different things and drop live performing (one off shows still possible/likely though) - which is totally understandable IMHO. -

Is it too early to discuss plans for next year? Well, this is the first rumor about Paul in 2021...
"According to the journalist Armando Gallegos there is the possibility that the new stadium in the Tlalnepantla area is open to the public by 2021.
The McCartney concert agenda is very extensive, they requested it between March and April 2021, when they will open the doors of the Cruz Azul Social and Cultural Sports Club."

Yeah, probably a bit too early. I'm still wondering if he's going to announce any more shows later this summer or fall. Fingers crossed.
I don't think any artists are going to tour in 2020.

I almost wrote the acoustic idea in another thread but erased it. I think that it may highlight his voice a little too much. I think he needs the entire band & electronic instruments. A lot of people criticized him for his recent Lady Madonna performance.

You may be right and I was one of those who criticized his voice for his recent performance. I think with time to prepare, concert being in a concert hall and not his house, the right selection of songs for his current voice and a much shorter concert he could pull it off. My point was that he will be 79 next year and this type of show may be easier on him than his tour shows. Ideally, an acoustic show would have been much better if he did it 10 years ago but oh well -lol.

Hold on, there is a big difference between "difficult for any performer to tour" and "hard for McCartney to charge 700 dollars for a ticket".
The latter is the result of the bloated industry and silly people willing to pay for that. The good thing is that will be normalised after this crisis.

Why is there no Europe on the poll ? Hope they come up with a medicine that can knock it out. Thinking optimistically. A vacine could take a while longer. Germany did really low numbers with all their early testing. Iceland, New Zealand, Germany and So. Korea should be doing well by this summer. They had lots of testing!

So you're saying that when Paul tours (eventually) he won't charge as high ticket prices? This I have to see!
-
That will never happen. Mega acts arent lowering their asking price just to tour. They just simply wont tour. Stones Macca etc charge big $$$ because they get paid big $$$$. There ticket prices won't come down. They'll stay at home.

Yeah, it's not like Paul needs the money - he's a freaking billionaire in $!

I won't be surprised if Paul doesn't tour in 2021. The fact that the 2020 tour was cancelled (even though he said they were trying to reschedule) is a clear indication that he doesn't want to make plans at the moment. After all, nobody knows when it will be truly safe for musicians, crew and fans to get together again, especially in large events like his concerts, that attract thousands of people.

Plus he will be 79 in 2021. Seriously, I would be really surprised if he decided to tour ever again. One-off gigs still possible in my opinion, though.

Yeah, I don't think Paul is going on tour until we have a vaccine or some medicine for the Covid-19. However, turning 80 doesn't mean he will not be able to tour. His stamina won't automatically disappear after June 18th 2022, we can't predict this kind of thing. IMO, he will be on tour as long as he has energy. Many fans believed that he would stop doing shows when he turned 70. Well, the man did 16 shows in the US last year, at 76.
Of course, there's not much time left. But if we get the vaccine in 2021, I don't think it's impossible for him to go on tour (probably the last one) by the end of the year, perfoming for less than 2 hours and having more days-off between the gigs. It seems that scientists are developing a vaccine faster than usual because of previous experiences with other types of coronavirus. So, let's pray for a cure as soon as possible.
Maybe the concert at Dodger Stadium was his last one, but I'm an optimist: I think Paul will be on the road for a final world tour.

It's simple to understand ... Paul definitely retired from touring. ¡ The dream is over.!

I don't think he's retiring from touring. I think he's just being prudent in waiting to see how this all shakes out. If it takes us in to 2022 or later then, yes, it would be harder for him to continue. Like most of us it just makes sense not to make any long term plans right now. Would hate to see him postpone this summers' shows to next summer and then have to possibly cancel yet again. So here is hoping for 2021...somewhere! And a vaccine that works (says a retired PharmD)!

Why don't we wait to hear what what Paul decides for himself instead of making random predictions.
He's currently writing a musical for It's A Beautiful Life. He's most likely self isolating like the rest of us. Hope he's enjoying this break the best he can, like the rest of us are trying to do.
I want for Paul, whatever he chooses for himself!
