On October 17, Paul McCartney will take the stage at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, a venue that promises to be electrified by the presence of the former Beatle. This concert is being hailed as one of the most significant musical events in Minnesota's history.
McCartney's performance marks his return to Minnesota after nearly a decade, with his last show occurring in 2016 at Target Center. The announcement was made Thursday morning, featuring notable figures such as Paul Allen, the voice of the Minnesota Vikings, Shannon Kelly, General Manager of U.S. Bank Stadium, and Josh Lacey, Market President of Live Nation.
During the event, a custom No. 25 Vikings jersey was presented to McCartney, symbolizing the local sports culture's embrace of the music icon. Lacey described the upcoming concert as a "historic concert by a truly global icon," emphasizing its significance.
Fans eager to attend can register for early ticket access on McCartney's official website. Presale tickets will be available starting Tuesday at 10 a.m., with general sales commencing on July 18 at the same hour.
The "Got Back" tour features 18 dates across 16 venues, kicking off on September 29 in Palm Desert, California, and wrapping up in Chicago on November 25. McCartney recently teased this tour on social media, sharing an image of two guitar picks—one bearing his name and the other stating "GOT BACK IN 2025."
U.S. Bank Stadium has previously welcomed a variety of major artists, including Metallica, Ed Sheeran, and Taylor Swift, solidifying its reputation as a premier concert destination.
