PAUL MCCARTNEY Confirms Five Additional Shows for Summer 'Out There' Tour

Following an incredible 2013 which saw Paul McCartney's universally acclaimed 'Out There' tour launch in Brazil and visit 23 cities across South America, Europe, North America and Japan, Paul has confirmed another five shows on the 2014 U.S. 'Out There' tour. Currently tearing through Uruguay, Chile, Peru, Ecuador and Costa Rica, with Paul's return to Japan and debut in Korea set for next month, the upcoming 'Out There' 2014 world tour will now feature five more U.S. dates:

July 9: Chicago, IL - United Center
July 12: Fargo, ND - Fargodome
July 14: Lincoln, NE - Pinnacle Bank Arena
July 16: Kansas City, MO - Sprint Center
August 2: Minneapolis, MN - Target Field

Still more dates to be announced...

Paul will return to Chicago July 9 at the United Center, his first appearance in the Windy City since the legendary 2011 Wrigley Field doubleheader, a tour de force that moved the Chicago Tribune to rave, "Wringing new rivers of passion from songs he's played hundreds of times... McCartney played like he wasn't taking anything, including his place in rock history, for granted."

July will also see Paul playing long awaited first ever concerts in two U.S. cities: July 12 at the Fargodome in Fargo ND, and July 14 at the Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln, NE.

On July 16 Paul will return to Kansas City's Sprint Center for the first time since his 2010 'Up and Coming' Tour, a show "most musicians a third of his age couldn't come close to equaling," per the Riverfront Times, and that moved The Pitch to implore, "Please come see us again soon, Paul."

Paul's August 2 show at Target Field in Minneapolis, will be both his first ever at the ballpark and the latest in a long and storied history with the Twin Cities: one that includes not only Paul's previous shows on 'The US Tour' in 2005 and 'The New World Tour' in 1993, but also a 1976 stop on the 'Wings over America' tour and began with The Beatles' one and only Minneapolis show in 1965.
