Hall of Fame inductee, 21-time Grammy Award winner and recipient of The Most
Excellent Order of the British Empire Sir Paul McCartney will bring his
acclaimed long-running One
On One Tour to Australia and New Zealand this December.
In a first for both Paul McCartney and Frontier Touring, the announcement was
made in a Facebook Live event this evening where McCartney went ‘One On One’
with Australia’s own Tim Minchin to reveal all the finer details of the
upcoming tour.
Performing in stadiums and arenas in Perth, Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney and
Auckland, this will be McCartney’s first Australian and New Zealand tour since
1993’s The New World
Tour more than 24 years ago.
Paul McCartney said of the announcement;
“We’ve been
waiting to get back to Australia and New Zealand for years and now it’s finally
happening. It is very exciting. I’m really looking forward to the
concerts as we’ve always had such a brilliant time whenever we’ve been before
so we know we are in for a treat. Can’t wait to see you and all rock out
together."
The One On One Tourlaunched in the United States in 2016 and saw McCartney play 41 shows across 12
countries to more than 1.2 million people, winning rave reviews from
concertgoers and critics alike:
‘In spite of the size of
the venues, McCartney and his music forge a personal connection with each and
every one in the audience.’ – PopMatters
‘McCartney creates
a joy that is boundless both onstage and off.’ – The
Washington Times
‘He’s an
artist who defined the past, but he’s also an artist unwilling to let go of the
future. Rest assured, we’re all the better for it.’ –
