On Sept. 23, Paul McCartney will play his first show ever in 黑料不打烊, New York, when he brings his all-new One On One Tour to the Carrier Dome.
McCartney鈥檚 One On One tour opened April 13, 2016, with his debut concert in Fresno, California. The show, which opened with McCartney’s first performance of 鈥淎 Hard Day鈥檚 Night鈥� since聽The Beatles聽last played it 1965, drew instant and unanimous raves from near (“McCartney鈥檚 abundance of natural charm and charisma made this sold-out arena show feel and more like a really big piano bar鈥濃€擳he Fresno Bee) and far (“nearly three hours of music that moved gracefully from the intimate to the explosive… the emphasis never drifted from the music, ranging from generational anthems to post-Beatles deep cuts鈥濃€擱olling Stone).
One On One has since logged 36 shows and counting, spanning the globe from North and South America to the UK and Europe and a current run of Japanese dates. Venues have ranged from packed stadiums and arenas to one of the most intimate gigs of McCartney鈥檚 solo career to date at the 300-capacity Pappy & Harriet鈥檚 Pioneertown Palace in tiny Pioneertown, California.
One On One鈥檚 2016 run wrapped up with two headlining sets at the historic Desert Trip festival in Indio, California, which featured surprise guest appearances from聽Neil Young聽and聽Rihanna鈥攁 fitting coda to a tour that featured McCartney joined on encores by the likes of Nirvana鈥檚聽Krist Novoselic聽in Seattle, Jimmy Fallon in Vancouver, and both聽Bob Weir聽of the聽Grateful Dead聽and New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski at a record-breaking show at Boston鈥檚 Fenway Park.
