Paul McCartney Launches 2025 Got Back Tour at Acrisure Arena with Multi-Generational Fans

Paul McCartney kicked off the latest leg of his "Got Back" tour at the Acrisure Arena in Palm Desert, California, thrilling fans of all ages with a setlist featuring Beatles classics, Wings hits, and solo material. Despite outrage over high ticket prices, which ranged from $317 to over $6,000 for premium seats, the concert was a major event drawing celebrities and enthusiastic fans alike. The arena, which seats 11,000, is hosting what it calls "The Magnificent Seven," a series of high-profile events including concerts by The Who, Blink-182, and Maroon 5, as well as sports games. McCartney's performance was marked by nostalgia and celebration, with fans wearing vintage Beatles and Wings attire, and the show opened with a rendition of "Help!" sung in McCartney's vocal range, paying homage to John Lennon. This tour continues through North America with stops in major cities, culminating in two shows at Chicago’s United Center. The event underscores Acrisure Arena's growing reputation as a premier venue for diverse entertainment experiences.
