Last year saw Paul make headline news when he brought his epic Up and Coming tour to a dramatic finale with two massive stadium shows in Rio, Brazil playing to over 100,000 people.  His ‘Up and Coming’ tour was seen by nearly half a million people across South America over a handful of special dates.  Makeshift fan-made McCartney villages sprung up everywhere the tour went, with fans celebrating the music and life of Paul as they camped outside stadiums days in advance waiting for the doors to open to get the best possible positions inside the venues.  Following weeks of excited speculation and internet rumours, Paul confirms that he is taking his new ‘On The Run’ tour to South America this April.

Paul will make his first ever visits to Uruguay, Paraguay and Columbia on this tour, before returning to Brazil almost exactly twelve months since his last visit, which brought Rio to a standstill and saw over 1.5 million people tune in online to watch the first ever concert to be broadcast live on the internet across South America.

The Guadalajara and Mexico City dates will be Paul's first visit to Mexico since his Up And Coming Tour in 2010. It was the first of that tour's two shows at Mexico City's Foro Sol Stadium on the 27th May 2010 that shattered records, as 60,000 tickets were snapped up in within mere minutes of going on sale. Sources at Ticketmaster Mexico speculated that tickets could have gone even more quickly had technology been able to keep up with the overwhelming demand. A second show was added on 28th May 2010 and both shows instantly became the stuff of local legend, along with Paul's 2002 three-night stand at the Palacio de los Deportes and his first visit on 1993's New World Tour, and deservedly so. It's unlikely that Mexico will ever experience such enthusiastic singalongs and impressive synchronized cigarette lighter work again--that is, until Paul returns in May!

Speaking about the forthcoming shows Paul said:

“ I love South America.  We’ve had such fun there on our recent visits.  The people and audiences are so passionate and musical. The enthusiasm is mind blowing and we are looking forward to getting back out there to play and party!”
