Paul McCartney will make his first European tour in more than five years this December, a seven-city run that will include his only United Kingdom concert appearance of 2009.
"This is my chance to bring our current show home to where it all began," McCartney said in a statement on his website. "Starting in Hamburg, ending in London and rocking everywhere in between. I'm very much looking forward to ending the year on a high."
On the heels of this summer's blockbuster U.S. tour, the December dates will see Macca play seven arena shows across Europe, culminating with his first public performance at London's O2 Arena, and his only U.K. date of the year. Other firsts on the tour include shows at Berlin’s O2 World venue and Dublin’s The O2.
Berlin will get their first Paul McCartney concert in 16 years - since 1993's "New World Tour" - and the tour commences in Hamburg, Germany, a city The Beatles made history in 49 years ago. The run will mark his first time in Hamburg, Arnhem, Cologne and Dublin since the "Back in the World" tour in 2003. McCartney's last Paris concert was an intimate club show at the Olympia in 2007.
London's O2 Arena will host the final Paul McCartney show of 2009.
Last week, Paul McCartney revealed the full details of his Good Evening New York City CD/DVD package, due to be released November 17 in America through Hear Music/Concord Music Group. The muli-disc set will include his performances of Beatles, Wings and solo classics during his three-night stand at Citi Field in Flushing, NY, July 17, 18 and 21 on the "Summer Live '09" tour.
