Paul McCartney Announces Last-Minute New York Club Show

Paul
McCartney
has
announced
a
last-minute
show
at
New
York’s
Bowery
Ballroom
taking
place
tonight
—
and,
shocker,
it’s
already
sold
out.

The
former
Beatle
will
rock
the
600-capacity
club
at
6:30
p.m.
Doors
open
at
5. Tickets were
available
exclusively
at
the
Bowery
Ballroom
box
office,
with
none
sold
online.
No
tickets
will
be
available
at
the
door,
so
fans
are
discouraged
from
lining
up
outside
the
venue
unless
they’ve
already
secured
a
ticket.

The
Bowery
Ballroom
is
a far
cry
from
the
site
of
McCartney’s
most
recent
shows.
The
82-year-old
rocker
wrapped
the latest
leg
of
his

Got
Back
tour
in
December
with
two
consecutive performances
at
London’s
O2
Arena.
The
Got
Back
trek
launched
in
2022
and
has
taken
McCartney
to
arenas
and
stadiums
across
North
America,
South
America,
Europe
and
Australia.

Is
a
New Paul
McCartney Album
Coming
Soon?

At
the
moment,
McCartney’s
Bowery
Ballroom
show
appears
to
just
be
a
fun,
surprise
one-off
gig.
But
artists
historically
pull
these
types
of
stunts
to
kick
off
a
promotional
cycle
—
and
there’s
reason
to
believe
McCartney
has
some new
music
up
his
sleeve.

When
asked
about
his
New
Year’s
resolutions
in
a
December
2024
fan
Q&A
on
his

website,
McCartney
said: “Here’s
one:
finish
an
album!
I’ve
been
working
on
a
lot
of
songs,
and
have
had
to
put
it
to
the
side
because
of
the
tour.
So,
I’m
hoping
to
get
back
into
that
and
finish
up
a
lot
of
these
songs.
So,
how’s
about
that? ‘My
New
Year’s
resolution
is
to
finish
a
new
album!'”

McCartney
released
his
last
studio
album, McCartney
III,
in
December
2020.
He
released One
Hand
Clapping,
the
Wings
live-in-studio
album
that
had
been
shelved
for
nearly
50
years,
in
June
2024.
A
documentary
film
of
the
same
name
hit
theaters
in
September.
