During Paul McCartney’s 50 year career, there are only a few things he hasn’t accomplished. One of those is performing in Utah. However this summer that will change. McCartney has announced he will performing his first concert ever in Utah. On July 13th, McCartney’s “Up and Coming Tour” is visiting Sandy, Utah’s Rio Tinto Stadium.
The mission of the “Up and Coming Tour” is for McCartney to go to cities he has never visited before and markets he hasn’t performed in for some time. In addition to performing in Utah, McCartney will also be playing his first San Francisco concert since playing Candlestick Part as a member of the Beatles in August 1966. McCartney will be performing at AT&T Park on July 10. Tickets will be going on sale for both shows on May 24 to the general public.
The dates are the first U.S. gigs on his “Up and Coming Tour” since the tour’s first leg wrapped up in Miami on April 3. The trek so far has visited Phoenix, Arizona as well as two sold out Hollywood Bowl shows. The almost three hour set of McCartney’s featured songs from the entire range of his accomplished career, from the early days of the Beatles, during his years with the Wings, through to McCartney’s latest set “Memory Almost Full” and “Electric Arguments” Fireman side project.
It is hard imagining that McCartney would travel to the US in July just to do a couple of shows, particularly with “Band on the Run” from 1974 being reissued in August. Look for additional tour news from McCartney to be announced later.
