Paul McCartney to Make First-Ever Nashville Appearance
Performs at Bridgestone Arena Monday, July 26, 2010

(NASHVILLE, TENN) May 27, 2010 -- Paul McCartney, arguably the most commercially successful performer and composer in popular music, will make his first-ever Nashville appearance Monday July 26, 2010, when he brings his Up and Coming 2010 Tour to the Bridgestone Arena in downtown Nashville. Keeping with his headline-making special concerts, the tour will feature the iconic star and his band in unique venues, places and locations; cities he’s never before played as well as familiar markets he’s not recently visited.

Tickets go on sale Monday, June 7, 10:00 a.m. and will be available at the Bridgestone Arena Box Office and all Kroger locations, by logging on to www.ticketmaster.com or by calling 1-800-745-3000.

“The opportunity to represent Sir Paul McCartney in concert in Nashville is a career moment for me,” said AEG Senior VP Steve Moore. “I am honored.”

Although this will be his first concert appearance in Nashville, it is not McCartney’s first visit to Music City. McCartney and his family spent six weeks in Nashville in 1974, a visit – he told the Nashville Banner at the time – to “relax, ride horses and record” with his then band, Wings. The McCartney family stayed at a 133 acre Lebanon farm owned by songwriter Curly Putman (“Green, Green Grass of Home”), and it was that farm that inspired the Wings’ hit, “Junior’s Farm.”
