“I’m chuffed to be asked to stay longer on the road,” McCartney said. “Hopefully this will make the tour more of a trip.”

The drive begins April 1 in Oakland – not Los Angeles as previously announced – and wraps May 18 in Florida. The tour will include a performance north of the border at the Air Canada Center in Toronto and a two-night stand at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Tickets go on sale beginning March 4.

Joining McCartney on stage will be guitarist Rusty Anderson and drummer Abe Laboriel Jr., who were featured on McCartney’s most recent album, Driving Rain. The disc is McCartney’s first in four years and was released last November.

McCartney is expected to preform songs from Driving Rain as well as music from The Beatles, Wings and his solo career.
