McCARTNEY RETURNS TO ROCK WITH ‘US’

ALL NEW Beatles, Wings and Solo Concert Tour To Launch In Miami On September 16th ; Coincides With New Album Release



Paul McCartney is ready to rock with ‘US’ this fall, nearly four years after his critically hailed, Billboard Magazine Concert Tour of the Year, ‘Back In the U.S.’ swept through the U.S. Since his return to the stage in 2002, after a decade long performance hiatus, millions from countries across the globe have experienced his sold-out concerts.

But Americans can expect the unexpected when ‘US’ kicks off at Miami’s American Airlines Arena on Friday, September 16th. The all-new tour, which is planned to coincide with a new McCartney recording, will be highlighted by the classics from McCartney’s Beatles, Wings and solo career, as well as songs that have yet to be or haven’t been performed on American soil in nearly 15 years.

“We are looking forward to playing again in America,” said McCartney. “They know how to have a good time and we’re there to give it to them. It’ll be fun to visit some new places, to see some old faces and to do things a bit differently this time. We’re ready to rock.”

‘US’ will rock and roll through the United States for 28 performances that will span a nearly 11-week period before its close on Tuesday, November 29th at Los Angeles’ STAPLES Center. While highlights include return visits to Boston’s Fleet Center, New York’s Madison Square Garden, Chicago’s United Center and Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena, ‘US’ will mark a first for some. On Thursday, October 27th and on Sunday, October 30th, Des Moines, Iowa and Omaha, Nebraska will experience their first EVER Paul McCartney performance (including Beatles and Wings). In addition, Miami and Seattle, amongst other cities, will celebrate McCartney’s return after nearly 15 years.

If McCartney’s appearance at Superbowl XXXIX or his last concert in front of 125,000 muddied fans at England’s prestigious Glastonbury Festival (NME Magazine’s Best Event for 2005) are any indication, fans can expect to see another groundbreaking production.

“Only McCartney can top McCartney,” said Brad Wavra, ClearChannel Entertainment. “But if you think you’ve already seen him, think again.”

AEG/Concerts West representative Paul Gongaware added : “Half the fun of this tour is wondering which songs he’s going to play. There’s so much that we didn’t see in 2002.”

McCartney’s band mates Abe Laboriel, Jr. (drums), Rusty Anderson (guitar), Brian Ray (guitar and bass) and Paul “Wix” Wickens (keyboards) return for ‘US.’

Tickets for Paul McCartney’s ‘US’ Tour go on sale beginning Saturday, April 23rd. Check local listing for details. For more information about ‘US’ go to [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien]

Lexus will be the presenting sponsor of the ‘US’ Tour.

“I’m very pleased to be a part of this new project with Lexus because I think there is a natural fit,” said McCartney.

FAST SELL-OUTS AND OVERWHELMING TICKET DEMAND

MORE OF ‘US’ FOR McCARTNEY

ALL NEW Beatles, Wings and Solo Concert Tour Now 37 Performances; 9 Shows Added; ALL SOLD OUT


It took just a few ‘collective’ hours for fans across America to purchase nearly 500,000 concert tickets
for Paul McCartney’s ALL-NEW Beatles, Wings and solo concert tour. Shows for ‘US’ in Columbus, Phoenix,
Milwaukee, Seattle, Portland, Houston, Atlanta and Washington all sold-out in under 20 minutes (each),
while in Omaha, where McCartney has NEVER performed onstage, tickets for ‘US’ eclipsed U2 as the city’s
fastest selling concert event ever (14 minutes). In Toronto, organizers are saying it was their fastest
sell-out in recent history – 10 minutes. ‘US’ tickets have become McCartney’s fastest selling concert
tour ever, even outpacing “Back In The U.S.”

Tickets for concerts in Detroit (8 minutes), Boston (10 minutes), Chicago and Philadelphia (15 minutes),
San Jose, Anaheim and Los Angeles (18 minutes each) sold-out so fast that 2nd shows were immediately
added, which delighted waiting fans.

McCartney has promised all the hits and then some, according to organizers. Not just the classics, but
songs that have yet to be or haven’t been performed on American soil in nearly 15 years. Set to launch
in Miami on September 16th, McCartney’s ‘US’ tour is now slated for 37 performances in 11 weeks.

“Tickets were gone faster then you could say Maccamania,” said Brad Wavra, Clear Channel Music Group.
“And why shouldn’t they be? This is THE concert not to miss.”

“The fans have spoken and this is unquestionably THE ticket to have,” said Paul Gongaware, AEG Live/Concerts West.
“A McCartney concert is one that our children will tell their children about. It’s not just a concert,
but a guaranteed memory.”

As presenting sponsor of the ‘US’ Tour, Lexus will host a number of exclusive customer events
surrounding the concert schedule.

Bon, on est presque sûr maintenant que l'album de Paul sera numéro aux USA

Et en France quand il est passé en 2003 et 2004 est ce que les statistiques étaient aussi impressionnantes ?

tittenhurst a écrit:Et en France quand il est passé en 2003 et 2004 est ce que les statistiques étaient aussi impressionnantes ?

Non en France il a son public, il frole le disque d'or à chaques sorties d'album...
Mais on ne peut pas dire qu'il remplisse les salles à une vitesse impressionnante... Le stade de france n'était pas complet...

En tout cas c'est impressionnant ce qui se passe aux states concernant ses ventes de billets...

Les américains sont des gens entiers quand ils aiment c'est à fond...Je suis heureux qu'il n'y ait pas une telle frénésie dans notre pays; ça laisse de la place à tous les vrais fans.

En France, les places du Stade se sont assez mal vendues... Comme le dit Wingspan, le stade était loin d'être complet.

pOlO a écrit:En France, les places du Stade se sont assez mal vendues... Comme le dit Wingspan, le stade était loin d'être complet.

Il faut dire que Paul dans un stade je trouve ça dommage. Bercy ça lui correspond mieux...Même si d'après ces interviews notre homme aime bien jouer dans des stades

Ben moi j'ai préféré au stade perso
Dajà j'étais mieux placé, en plus j'avais payé moins cher, et la set list était carrément mieux

C'est vrai concernant la set-list on a été vraiment gâtés mais moi je me suis retrouvé beaucoup moins bien placé qu'à Bercy....Alors Paul m'a paru plus loin c'était moins vibrant....

Pour info,
Les Stones ont ajoutés une date à leur tournée au Omaha, NE - "Qwest Center ".
Le concert fut complet en 26 minutes.
U2 avait mis 33 minutes pour l'afficher complet
Macca n'a mis que 14 minutes pour vendre les 16.000 billets que peut contenir cette salle;)
Ce qui est le nouveau record pour cette salle

Sorry Mick'
