Interesting, so far we have 2 outdoor stadiums and 3 indoor venues based on that list. And May is not that far away! Decisions need to be made based on the drip, drip, drip method.

Thanks for all the reports. Even if the specifics don't pan out, it sounds like we'll be getting some shows this year and that's amazing!
Ringo is also playing at the casino place in June. That's more of his type of venue. Looks like Elton's shows are seated with some $500-800 silver package seats in the front and the now common verified re-sale for thousands in the lower front section.
As much as I like a smaller indoor venue because the sound at stadiums can be pretty bad. There's just some fun energy that comes from a larger show. That said - as soon as he says the word I'm off to get tickets, flights etc. Where in the world are we going this time Macca fans?
I would love a smaller venue, always prefer them, but still seems a bit unexpected to me for him to turn up at a casino venue, no matter if the Stones played it or whomever. Elton has played casinos before; he had a Vegas residency at Caesars several years back. I know Paul did play the Hard Rock Vegas show a few years back (I was there!) but I think he played it because it was a venue "opening" and he likes to play those kinds of shows.
If Paul does have a tour planned, it would be nice to get all of the dates at once, but I wonder if he will just go back to his methold of releasing only one or two at a time, drip drip drip...

Another rumored McCartney concert: July at Citi Field, in New York.
That one makes more sense to me. I expected him to do outdoor stadiums when he returned to touring, Indoor tours right now are still hitting postponements due to Covid outbreaks...see Eddie Vedder's current tour as a recent example.

The Stones played there last November.
Interesting; they usually don't play casinos, either.

I have never heard of this particular reseller or know anyone who has purchased from them... but interesting that this has just popped up out of nowhere. And this venue is in a casino; not the kind of venue Paul usually plays.
The Argentina rumours are interesting. Frankly if Paul does tour, I have thought that he would stick to outdoor/stadium shows which are safer, even when not distanced. The problem with tours vs one or two concerts, is that if outbreaks happen with the musicians or crew, the shows will have to be postponed. Elton John just restarted his many-times-postponed Farewell Tour and then he came down with Covid, so he had to cancel a couple of shows. There is a US band called War on Drugs that started their tour and were taking all precautions, including cancelling the opening acts they were supposed to have, but a member of their crew caught Covid so they had to postpone some shows. Omicron broke out last year just before Springsteen was going to announce a Euro tour. They waited to announce and then decided to cancel the whole tour. It's the uncertainty that makes it hard to plan. I would love to see Paul on stage again and I hope it happens, but I understand the caution.

The event, much like the Met Gala, will be star-studded, hosted by Cecily Strong and featuring performances by Alicia Keys, Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen and the Jonas Brothers. This year, the event will also fall on the 20-year anniversary of the foundation’s Concert for New York City that aimed to help New Yorkers following the 9/11 attacks and raised over $35 million.

He is credited as a special appearance, so maybe he will just say a few words to support the event. I hope I'm wrong, because I really wanna see him performing again.
I think he is performing.

Interesting that there was no earlier notice or info about this. I did find a story from September that mentions tickets being $3,000 / $5,000 and of course pricey tables.

Anyone flying in from the US (or any other country for that matter) is taking a huge gamble. The covid infection rate is increasing again and by early November I can easily see the event being cancelled or various restrictions put in place to make overseas visitors having to isolate on arrival.
Yes, if it wasn't for the pandemic, I would have considered trying to attend this. But I'm not comfortable planning overseas travel at the moment. Best of luck to those who are attending. I did buy a streaming ticket and am looking forward to watching this! What's nice is that the stream will be kept available for viewing for a few days after the event, just in case I am not able to watch it live if my job gets in the way LOL.

This was posted on Paul's Facebook account today only super fans
"To say thank you for being one of Paul's top fans on Facebook you can now pick up an exclusive digital deluxe copy of 'McCartney III' featuring four bonus demo tracks. (US ONLY)
Another cover?
The music is digital so you don't actually get the cover, just a download of the photo I guess!
Yes, you get a download of the photo. I am not on Facebook but I get the promo text messages from "Paul" and they texted me a link to purchase that deluxe download today. It has the four bonus tracks and I was having a weak moment so I ordered it. The link showed up while I was watching Fallon. Listened once thru and so far there is a lot to like. Tomorrow it will get multiple plays. As for Fallon, he is a big fanboy so I wasn't expecting much, was just happy to see Paul again.

I listened to that BBC interview and Paul said he DID like the Dodger Stadium show. ("we did have a very good night.") Who else hears this?
Me. I also heard "did have a very good night". From his complete answer, seems to me that he wants to continue performing when it is safe to do so again. Which makes sense to me because he loves it.

A friend of mine told me about the 333 yellow and black version first thing this morning so I fortunately got a copy of that. Also got the indie copy and newbury comic one.
What color is the Indie copy?
White. Paul's site here has a link to Record Store Day's site, where we can find a record store in our local area to buy from.
and see the other thread here about McCartney III- people have received dice today from Capitol with 3's on five sides and McCartney on the sixth side. So it's happening!!
