Legendary musician Paul McCartney is set to return to the road this spring, with a slate of 14 American dates announced on Friday under the moniker of his Got Back tour.

The name of the tour is a play on Get Back, the final album released by McCartney's former band The Beatles, and a similarly-titled 9-hour documentary chronicling the album's creation which was restored by legendary director Peter Jackson last year.

McCartney announced the tour via Instagram.

Paul McCartney's rich history with live shows

Paul McCartney returns to live touring for the first time since 2019 with this tour. The iconic performer has established history with live shows, both as a part of the Beatles and as a solo artist.

The Beatles' bow at Shea Stadium was the first-ever time an outdoor sports stadium was used for a musical concert. McCartney also broke the record for highest concert attendance in Maracanã Stadium, Rio de Janeiro, in 1990.

At the age of almost 80, Paul McCartney is still going strong, even releasing new music at regular intervals. His upcoming live shows are sure to be a treat.
