McCartney’s "One On One" tour opened April 13, 2016 in Fresno CA. That show opened with McCartny’s first performance of "A Hard Day’s Night" since The Beatles last played it in 1965.

"One On One" has since logged 36 shows, spanning the globe from North and South America to the UK and Europe and a current run of Japanese dates.

Venues have ranged from packed stadiums and arenas to one of the most intimate gigs of McCartney’s solo career to date at the 300-capacity Pappy & Harriet’s Pioneertown Palace in tiny Pioneertown, CA.

It wrapped its 2016 run with two headlining sets at the historic ‘Desert Trip’ festival in Indio, CA, which featured surprise guest appearances from Neil Young and Rihanna — a fitting coda to a tour that featured Paul joined on encores by the likes of Nirvana’s Krist Novoselic in Seattle, Jimmy Fallon in Vancouver, and both Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead and New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski at a record-breaking show at Boston’s Fenway Park.

From Tuesday's press release: "As with every Paul McCartney tour, ‘One On One’ features dozens of classics from the most beloved catalog in popular music, spanning Paul’s entire career – as a solo artist, member of Wings and of course as a Beatle — and no shortage of surprises. State of the art audio and video technology ensure an unforgettable experience from every seat in the house: Massive screens, lasers, fireworks and, of course, a staggering selection of the best songs ever written or performed make every Paul McCartney show a once in a lifetime event that transcends and elevates the potential of live music."
