McCartney to play Yankee Stadium
Written by admin on June 9, 2011 – 8:22 am - |
Paul McCartney will kick off the US leg of his “On the Run” tour at New York City’s Yankee Stadium on July 15.
This will be McCartney’s first gig at the home of the Yankees. Local rivals, the New York Mets, famously hosted the Beatles at Shea Stadium in 1965. McCartney also performed three concerts at the Mets’ new home, Citi Field, in July 2009. Highlights can be found on the excellent CD/DVD release “Good Evening New York City.” |
McCartney has played to over 1,000,000 fans during the 2010/2011 “Up and Coming Tour,” which officially concludes tomorrow night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. It’s been a varied and interesting live schedule over the last year, with large scale gigs at venues such as Rio de Janeiro’s Estadio Olimpico Joao Havelange, a first appearance at Harlem’s Apollo Theater, and the smallest club show of his career at London’s 100 Club. His excellent four-piece touring band has remained consistent for years and all are set to return for the new tour.
Tickets for the Yankee Stadium gig go on sale on Monday, June 13 at 11 a.m.
