Paul McCartney concert chronology |
One on One is an ongoing concert tour by English singer-songwriter Paul McCartney that began on 13 April 2016 and travels through the United States, Canada, Argentina, Spain, Germany, France, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, and Belgium. The tour marks McCartney's first ever performances in Fresno, South Dakota, and Arkansas. The shows will feature a "dazzling re-designed set" and a setlist that, like previous tours, spans the length of McCartney's career. Prior to the announcement of the tour itself, McCartney revealed two European festival dates for June at the Pinkpop Festival and Rock Werchter respectively.
On 15 February 2016, McCartney announced two initial festival dates in Europe for the upcoming summer. These two headlining performances at Pinkpop Festival in Landgraaf, Netherlands and Rock Werchter in Werchter, Belgium were revealed before the initial revelation of the "One on One" tour. These tours would feature mostly similar elements of the "One on One" performances yet with a condensed set list to allot for festival curfew limits and less stage elements given restrictions. In the wake of the passing of notable Beatles and McCartney producer George Martin, McCartney announced the initial "One on One" dates for North America and Europe. In North America, McCartney's visit to Fresno, California would mark his first performance in the city, and his performances in North Little Rock and Sioux Falls would be his first performances in the states of Arkansas and South Dakota respectively. Elsewhere in North America, McCartney would perform in Portland after an eleven-year absence following his 2005 'US' tour. The two shows in Vancouver would follow his previous performance in the city at the BC Place stadium in 2012, yet this tour would feature two shows in the neighboring Rogers Arena. McCartney's Seattle show would mark his shortest absence form any North American city on the tour announced currently, as he performed at the city's Safeco Field during the inaugural year of the 'Out There' tour. McCartney announced a performance on 16 March in Minneapolis at the Target Center. This show would take place on 4 May 2016, less than two years after McCartney's last performance in the city at the adjacent baseball stadium sharing a corporate sponsor with the arena, Target Field. Due to high demand of tickets a second show in Minneapolis was announced the next day and would take place on 5 May.
