Paul McCartney, Press Releases

PAUL McCARTNEY RETURNS TO NEW YORK CITY  

YANKEE STADIUM DEBUT CONFIRMED FOR JULY 15

Tickets On Sale This Monday 11 a.m. June 13

Paul McCartney has confirmed the date and venue of his return to New York City: July 15 at Yankee Stadium.

McCartney’s historic first ever appearance at the storied Yankee Stadium will kick off his new 2011 On The Run tour, and marks nearly two years to the day since his legendary July 17, 18 & 21, 2009 concerts, immortalized on the Grammy-winning gold-certified Good Evening New York City CD/DVD.

Having played some three dozen shows to over 1,000,000 fans over the course of last year’s Up and Coming Tour, McCartney has been drawing arguably the most enthusiastic audiences and critical notices of the beloved Beatles, Wings-man and solo artist’s peerless near-50-year career, including:

“A Paul McCartney concert makes up for every bad show you’ve ever seen in your life. Seriously… The strange thing about seeing a Paul McCartney concert is, after three hours, you actually feel lighter, your feet hurt less — buoyed on by Paul’s constant smiles and some of the greatest music ever committed to tape.”–AMERICAN SONGWRITER

“Of the 15,000-plus who attended this show, most, I’m assuming, will put it down as one of their favorite shows ever. It was one of those shows — certainly the year’s best, certainly among the best ever at the Sprint Center and probably among anyone’s shows of a lifetime. Expectations were high coming in; he exceeded them.”–KANSAS CITY STAR

“It’s hard to think of much in the pop music world more impressive than a 67-year-old musician  holding forth for nearly three hours, outdoors on a chilly March night, while delivering some three dozen songs, the least of which would be a career highlight for almost any other artist.”–THE LOS ANGELES TIMES

“In concert, however, even at 67 years old, McCartney is more like Superman. Watching him perform 40 vocally demanding songs over nearly three hours Saturday night… one could only wonder: How does he do it?”–MIAMI HERALD

“If a reanimated Abraham Lincoln came to town to redeliver the Gettysburg Address (in its entirety) in the flesh, it wouldn’t have trumped this show… From musicality to sheer spectacle to momentous, life-affirming jubilation, Paul McCartney’s Nashville debut at Bridgestone Arena Monday night was an all-out master class in rock ‘n’ roll showmanship… The band was flawless. The arrangements were elegant. The pacing was perfect. The production was dazzling, but never distracting. And most importantly, Sir Paul’s charisma and infectious good nature humanized him, making us feel like we’d made a new friend, while also getting the privilege of an evening in the titanic presence of a true rock god. A master.”–NASHVILLE SCENE

“McCartney’s three-hour, 40-song show was fantastic… Considering he’s been one of the most prominent musicians in the world since the early 1960s, and has toured extensively over the years, you’d think McCartney would have long-ago tapped every jug in the cellar. The fact that he hasn’t is just one more reason to appreciate him.”–PHOENIX NEW TIMES

“You hear about all these things, but until you actually sit just a few yards away and witness McCartney in action for close to three hours, it’s impossible to understand how they all conspire to make Sir Paul such an absolute whirlwind… What was really amazing was taking in the full scope of songs that have come out of this man… It was hard to believe that pop music was ever so good, that life was so good.”–SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE

McCartney’s Yankee Stadium debut can safely be predicted to feature some nearly three hours of the world’s best loved and most known music, with hits, deep cuts and surprises spanning his unrivalled career, from The Beatles, Wings, solo material and The Fireman’s critically acclaimed album Electric Arguments.

As on his Live 2009 tour and Up and Coming’s 2010 run, McCartney will be backed by the combo the LAS VEGAS SUN called “his best band since, well, the Beatles”: Paul “Wix” Wickens (keyboards, guitar, percussion, harmonica, backing vocals), Rusty Anderson (guitar, backing vocals), Abe Laboriel Jr. (drums, backing vocals) and Brian Ray (guitar, bass, backing vocals).

In 2010 Paul performed over 30 Up and Coming Tour dates across North America, South America and the UK. In addition to overwhelming levels of critical acclaim wherever the band played, last year saw many career firsts for Paul. These included rocking The White House in front of President Barack Obama and his family in June when Paul was made the first ever British recipient of the prestigious Gershwin Prize For Popular Song.  Paul returned to the White House again in December (where even the President joked about Paul becoming a regular there!) to be awarded with a Kennedy Center Honor. Paul ended 2010 with a December 11 visit to Saturday Night Live in New York City followed by a career landmark first ever performance at Harlem’s famed Apollo Theater on December 13 and three intimate homecoming shows in the UK.  He played the smallest club show of his career at London’s legendary 100 Club to just 300 people, which made headlines as far as China.  The final two shows were at the Hammersmith Apollo and at Liverpool’s O2 Academy, both of which broke venue box office records.

McCartney kicked off his 2011 live agenda last month with his  first ever show in Peru, his first Chilean gig since 1993, and two blockbuster shows at Rio de Janeiro’s Estadio Olimpico Joao Havelange, which also resulted in the first ever concert to be broadcast live on the internet throughout Latin America–allowing over 1.5 million fans who were unable to snap up one of the 100,000 tickets to share in the magic.

FOO FIGHTERS CONFIRM FALL U.S. DATES

Pre-Sales To Begin May 18 For September Arena Shows

http://tour.foofighters.com/

Foo Fighters have confirmed the next run of shows in their ongoing American arena headline run in support of the worldwide #1 album Wasting Light (Roswell/RCA). Pre-sales for this leg, which kicks off September 14 in St. Paul MN and runs through September 26 in East Rutherford NJ, will begin May 18. General on sales follow May 20 with the exception of St. Paul and Columbus which go on sale to the public June 4.

Rise Against and Mariachi el Bronx will be support for the U.S. run.

The September dates expand on the recently announced midwest headline dates beginning May 17 in Tulsa OK and concluding May 26 in Missoula MT. Motorhead and Biffy Clyro provide support on that run, during which the Foos will also drop in for headlining appearances at the Hangout and Sasquatch festivals. In addition Foo Fighters have also announced a pair of Canadian dates, August 9 in Toronto and August 10 in Montreal, which go on sale May 20 and 21 respectively. Doughboys and F—ed Up will support on both Canadian shows.

The tour follows in the wake of Foo Fighters’ just-released seventh album Wasting Light, which is still riding high on the charts after debuting at #1 in a dozen countries.  Wasting Light has also generated arguably the best critical notices of the band’s 16-year career, including four star lead reviews from Rolling Stone and People, and an A-lead review from Entertainment Weekly that summed up “Here’s the miracle, though: Foo Fighters never feel like a backward-looking band. Light is a muscular rock & roll throwdown, featuring the Foos delivering exactly the kind of catchy, pummeling anthems they’re known for, with total disregard for the whims of the masses.”

More dates will be announced as they are confirmed. For a complete list of current Foo Fighters North American tour dates and ticketing info visit http://tour.foofighters.com/

3 DREAMS OF BLACK GROUNDBREAKING INTERACTIVE EXPERIENCE DIRECTED BY CHRIS MILK CREATED FOR “BLACK” FROM DANGER MOUSE & DANIELE LUPPI’S ROME

3 Dreams Of Black, a groundbreaking interactive experience written and directed by Chris Milk for the song “Black” from Danger Mouse and Daniele Luppi’s forthcoming Rome album, can be experienced now at: www.ro.me

Developed in conjunction with Radical Media, EMI and Google, 3 Dreams Of Black created three dream worlds set to the score of Danger Mouse and Luppi’s “Black” with its sublime Norah Jones vocal.  The worlds are experienced as 2D drawings and animations, interspersed with interactive 3D sequences in which the viewer becomes an active participant, guiding their own journey through the unfolding narrative.  Participants can even create their own virtual artifacts–the best of which will then be integrated into the experience and become a part of other users’ dreams.

The unique, immersive online experience of 3 Dreams Of Black is powered by the evolution in HTML5 and WebGL internet and web browser technologies.  However, like the music that inspired its creation, the best way to understand 3 Dreams of Black is simply to experience it.

ROME, five years in the making and finally out May 17, is the result of Danger Mouse and Daniele Luppi joining forces to co-compose and co-arrange a record in the vein of classic Italian Western soundtracks like Ennio Morricone’s Fistful of Dollars or The Good, The Bad & The Ugly.  Danger Mouse and Luppi went to such lengths to preserve this aesthetic as traveling to Rome to use Morricone’s studio and musicians who actually played on these soundtracks. Vintage instruments were tracked down and bartered for, and every note was recorded in analog with no studio trickery or synthetic instrumentation. With the score completed, Norah Jones and Jack White were enlisted for vocals on three tracks each.

To hear the album in its entirety, please visit NPR.org:
