Following last week’s announcement of Australian dates for his Got Back Tour, rock legend Paul McCartney has revealed that the tour will visit Brazil for the first time, running from late November to mid-December.
The Beatle musician and his band will play shows in five cities: São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Brasília, Belo Horizonte and Curitiba (full dates below). The announcement was accompanied by a short video of him saying, “Ok, ok, ok, I heard you! We’re coming to Brazil. See you there”.
Then he commented in a statement: “I’ve got some good news. We’re coming back to Brazil in November to play for you. We have such great memories from all our visits. I love coming to Brazil because you guys like to rock, sing and party all at once. We’re really excited. Let’s have fun. Let’s rock. Let’s roll. Let’s stomp. Let’s stroll. And Brazil, let’s have a great time.”
In 2017, McCartney was recognised as the best-selling international artist for performances in Brazil, with more than 1.5 million tickets sold. Previously, he performed at the Maracaná stadium in Rio de Janeiro on April 21, 1990, attracting 184,000 fans, setting a new world record at the time. The 2023 dates will end at the same stadium on December 16.
