New Dates Added To Freshen Up Tour

Paul McCartney has added new dates to the European leg of the Freshen Up Tour. Concerts in France, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands are now officially confirmed. Pre-sales start on McCartney’s website later this week.

Sir Paul heads to Germany for one performance, on June 4. He will be playing in Hanover for the first time in 17 years. The European leg will bring McCartney also to places he never played before, like the French cities of Lille and Bordeaux:

I’ve been to France many times over the years.  I love it.  We’ve had so many standout shows there and we always know the audiences are really up for it which makes it even more exciting. I’ve never played shows in Lille or Bordeaux before so to be playing in new places makes it even more thrilling.”

The former Beatle also has never played the Dutch city of Nijmeger before: 

This is my first visit to Nijmegen and I’ve heard great things about it. It’s always so special to play in places we’ve never played before. We’ve freshened up the show since our last visit to the Netherlands and we are excited to be playing some of our new songs from the latest album as well as the songs we always love to play.”

In Belgium Paul will play at Torhout-Werchter Classic Festival; it will be the second time he is at Werchter, last time was three years ago, in 2016:

 Last time the audience were just incredible and we can’t wait to make more great memories with you and share an unforgettable night.”
