Paul McCartney’s ‘Out There’ Tour Back In The U.S.A.

The first U.S. dates of the year are here for Paul McCartney’s “Out There” tour. The former Beatle has set his sights on a few stops in the South and the Northeast region. Presales begin this week.

McCartney’s Out There tour has certainly lived up to its name since it launched in Brazil last spring. The trek journeyed to 23 cities across South America, Europe, North America and Japan.

Macca is also not joking around with today’s news blast on his website promising “more dates to be announced.” His initial announcement this morning included gigs in New Orleans and Louisville. Since then he’s added dates in Albany and Pittsburgh.
