Paul McCartney announced Wednesday he'll perform his
first-ever show in Nova Scotia on Halifax Commons in Halifax on July 11.

“Very happy to be playing Halifax. The Canadian audiences are great and the timing of the event, with the arrival of the Tall Ships, means that it will be an exciting event for us all. We are looking forward to rocking in Halifax,” McCartney said in a statement on his official website, Paul McCartney.com. 

“We are pleased and thrilled to announce today that our city will welcome Sir Paul McCartney live in concert on the Halifax Commons, Saturday, July 11, 2009. With sales of over 100 million, Paul is listed by the Guinness World Records as the most successful musician and composer in popular music history. This iconic and legendary performer’s presence in our city will be an historic event for all Atlantic Canadians,” said
Power Promotional Events President Harold MacKay in a statement.

Details for tickets will be announced shortly.
