Paul McCartney announces historic concert in Minneapolis for October 2025

Paul McCartney, the legendary former frontman of The Beatles, will return to the United States for his 'Got Back' tour after a nearly decade-long absence from Minnesota. The concert is set for October 17, 2025, at the U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, which has previously hosted major acts like Metallica and Taylor Swift. This concert is a major highlight of McCartney’s tour, which begins on September 29, 2025, in Palm Desert, California and includes 18 dates spread across 16 venues in North America. Fans eagerly anticipate this show, as McCartney's last performance in Minnesota was in 2016. The announcement was made by key figures including Voice of the Minnesota Vikings Paul Allen and U.S. Bank Stadium General Manager Shannon Kelly, showcasing the significance of the event. McCartney will also be honored with a custom No. 25 Vikings jersey. An early access ticket registration is available on McCartney's website, and presale tickets begin on July 15, 2025, with general sales kicking off on July 18, 2025. The 'Got Back' tour represents McCartney's first full tour of North America since 2022, a period that was marked by significant challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The tour returns as a follow up to previous performances that thrilled fans across the continents, beginning in late 2022 and continuing into 2024. McCartney's last tour, which included performances in North America, Latin America, and Australia, ended successfully with a closing show in Europe. As excitement builds for the Minneapolis concert, many fans are eager to secure their tickets for what is touted as a historic event. This concert not only marks McCartney’s return to a favorite venue but also reflects the resurgence of live events as the world continues to recover from pandemic disruptions, making it a memorable moment for both the artist and his audience.
