“I’ve got some good news. We’re coming back to Brazil in November to play for you. We have such great memories from all our visits. I love coming to Brazil because you guys like to rock, sing and party all at once. We’re really excited. Let’s have fun. Let’s rock. Let’s roll. Let’s stomp. Let’s stroll. And Brazil, let’s have a great time.””
Fulfilling his promise to return to the stage – to the delight of fans – Paul McCartney returns to Brazil in 2023 for shows in five cities – São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Brasília, Belo Horizonte and Curitiba. The artist brings his phenomenal GOT BACK Tour to the country for the first time. The tour started in the United States in April 2022 and saw Paul perform a historic headline festival set at Glastonbury.
And due to overwhelming demand, a third and final São Paulo show has been added. The new performance will take place at the Allianz Parque on Sunday 10 December.
One of the most respected and loved artists in the world, Paul McCartney has a strong relationship with Brazil – and a huge number of fans from the most diverse generations. In 2017, he was recognized as the best-selling international artist for performances in the country, with more than 1,5 million tickets sold.
But the great milestone of the eternal Beatle happened in 1990, when he performed in front of a crowded – and enchanted – Maracanã with 184,000 fans on the night of April 21, breaking at the time the world record for attendance at a concert. In 2023, McCartney will close the tour in December precisely by returning to “his sacred soil”, in the most iconic Brazilian soccer stadium. Magical place for sports lovers, like the artist.
The production of the GOT BACK Tour in Brazil is signed by Bonus Track and 30E. Luiz Oscar Niemeyer, who signed all of Paul McCartney's concerts in the country, is at the forefront of this challenge.
“It is a very important moment for the entire team working on this project and a great gift from the artist to Brazilian fans. This new meeting with one of the greatest musicians in the world, after such challenging years, always encourages us to look to the future and see millions of new and good possibilities. In 1990, when I had the chance to bring Paul to Brazil for the first time, we faced numerous challenges, including torrential rain that forced us to postpone the first show. But nobody gave up – and we had two unforgettable nights at Maracanã. This tour was also a very important moment to show the world Brazil’s strong potential to receive the big international names. Over the last few years, Paul returned to the country a few times, we went to several Brazilian cities, and he was always very impressed with the energy and receptiveness of the public”
