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.

Sorry, folks! I didn't even know about Groundhog Day. However, I think that is not totally a joke, because announcements usually starts by March.

Fans On The Run posted on their Facebook page that we have to wait more six weeks until new shows' announcement.
Did they name sources? And if they know it'll be in 6 weeks, do they also know what it is?
Let's wait and see what happens

RE: Paul McCartney 2017 Rumors
A fair tour would be like this: April: Asia May: Latin America June: Europe July/August: North America October or November: Australia/New Zealand But when Mr. Bob Gannon said "perhaps" I started to think that Paul could be on the US on May, cause Bob always has good information about US shows.

Perhaps? I'm guessing we gonna have some US shows on May

What makes you say October Renan???? I'll be at the April 29 and 30 shows in Tokyo woohoo!
Chriska, it's just a guess. When some artists go to Australia and New Zealand they don't do shows in Japan, probably because of the 10 hour flight distance that I mentioned on my previous post. Springsteen and the Stones are examples: their tours had an exclusive leg for Australia/New Zealand. We know that Paul usually takes a break after August, so he could rest until October and then do some concerts just in Australia/New Zealand. Macca usually takes short breaks between April and August and that pattern difficults a trip to a country far away like Australia. But like I said, it's just a guess.
Yeah I guess those bigger acts don't have to follow the typical / logical routes that smaller acts would to play those places and make the most amount of money they can etc. I hear what you're saying - Paul is definitely in that category, maybe even more so, and it definitely is reflected in how his shows are scheduled! I really hope he does make it here, and October would actually be amazing, cause I'm using all my annual leave in the first half of the year this year, so that would be a nice thing to look forward to in the second half. I guess I found it interesting that you mentioned a specific month in your guess so I quizzed you about it. But it definitely makes sense that he may not necessarily come here straight after Japan. I guess it's been so long that we get a sniff of a possible possibility and we get excited!
Since 2015 he has been finished touring in October, and that's why I believe he'll do the same this year, because it seems like Paul doesn't like to change things. Maybe Australia in November? I think he'll be in Europe or South America on May, US and Canada on June/July/August and Australia in the end of 2017. Let's hope! Fans in Australia deserve a show! By the way, English isn't my mother tongue and I would like to say sorry if I wrote something wrong these last days.

I fear what you say makes too much sense, Renan. I'm not sure I can take the chance and hope that he comes out in October. I listen to live albums almost exclusively and one of my favourites is actually the Tokyo Dome 2013 one (which I ripped off the pro-shot of that and split into tracks) so I'd probably still enjoy it.
W.D Stevens, the way he announces his schedule is terrible for the fans. You never know with Paul, but it will really surprise me if we see some shows in Australia in April/May. It seems that we only gonna have the 3 Tokyo Dome nights. My concern is about the distance between Australia and UK/US. It's the most far away place that Paul could go in the world. Perhaps he doesn't wanna go on such a long trip like that, after all he cancelled the 2002 dates because of low tickets sales and I think this episode left deep bad memories for him. I'm really hoping for the Aussie fans! Have you heard any consistent rumor about Australia?

RE: Paul McCartney 2017 Rumors
I don't think Paul will be in Australia just after Japan. From Tokyo to Sydney or Melbourne it's a 10 hour flight. We never know with Paul, but usually we don't see he crossing a distance like that in the same leg. The pattern is 2 or 3 hours in the plane from a city to another. Like I said in another topic, some big artists, like Stones and Bruce Springsteen had an exclusive leg for Australia/New Zealand and they went to Asia in another moment. So, I think Australia may happen by the end of the year. And I agree with 5th-beatle: no doubt he will tour in the US. In 2016 there was so many shows and maybe we'll see a little less this year.

Like 99% of us on this site, I have no "inside knowledge" of Paul's tour plans in 2017, however I find it very strange that he would go "half-way" around the world to play only three concerts. If there were more shows planned for Japan, they would probably have been announced in the original statement. I still believe there's something else planned in that area (Australia??)
Is it much of a trek from, say, the West Coast of America to Japan? From the UK to Aus apparently it's about a 24 hour flight which I can see being a big problem for touring acts. When my family and I went to America (we visited friends in Tucson via LA), I think it was 14 and Japan would be even shorter since it's much more northern.
I guess I was just using Japan as an example. My point was that it makes little sense logistically to put such an elaborate show on so far away and only do 3 concerts. I don't think he would do only three shows in the U.S., Europe, or S. America either.
In the Out There Tour 2013, Paul only did 3 shows in Europe (Warsaw, Vienna and Verona). When the tour started in South America, he only did 3 shows too (all in Brazil). And so last year (just 3 shows in Argentina). From the UK to Argentina it's a 14 hour flight and from the UK to Japan it's 12 hours. And we must remember that he is going to Japan for the third time in 4 years, so it's normal to reduce the number of concerts, after all he is repeating the same venue too. We got 6 shows in 2013, then 4 in 2015 (plus the Budokan Show) and now it's going to be 3 shows. Sounds plausible to me. And I don't think he is going to Australia just after Japan. From Tokyo to Sydney or Melbourne it's a 10 hour flight. I can't predict Paul's tour plans, but usually we don't see he crossing a distance like that in the same leg. The pattern is 2 or 3 hour in the plane from a city to another. I think Australia may happen in October.

RE: Paul McCartney 2016 Rumors
Hi, guys! I'm new here. English isn't my mother tongue, but I'll try my best to talk to you If you guys look back you will realize that Bob Gannon posts clues only about North American shows. I don't remember clues about South America or Europe. I think the only exception was the 2014 Budokan Show. So, what I want to say is that the numbers 308, 34, 8 and 22 make reference to North American shows. I think people who don't live in the US or Canada have to wait for more rumors. It seems that Paul will be rocking some arenas in NA this April. I think only in november he will come to South America or Europe.
