This is it, Beatle fans of Tampa.
T-minus fifteen days until Sir Paul McCartney brings his One On One tour to Amalie Arena.
The former frontman of Wings is finally returning to our state, his last time in Florida being in Jacksonville on his Out There tour. It’s bound to be one of the biggest nights Tampa has ever had.
Here’s why.
1) This is Sir Paul’s first time in Tampa since 2005. That’s right. 12 years since he played Amalie Arena. (then known as the St. Pete Times Forum)
2) His opener will most likely be A Hard Day’s Night, a song he has never played solo live until this tour, and since 1965, when he was with The Beatles. The One On One Tour is also described to involve some surprises, such as a dazzling stage setup, and a performance of a song by The Quarrymen (The Beatles before they were The Beatles), In Spite Of All The Danger.
3) The week Sir Paul will be there will involve three living legends in a row performing. On July 8, Rod Stewart with Cyndi Lauper will take the stage, and on July 11, original member of Pink Floyd, Roger Waters, will bring his US + Them Tour to the dome. With all due respect to those artists, Paul’s show is guaranteed to be the pinnacle of it all.
It looks like tickets have sold out on TicketMaster, but if you’re really dedicated to seeing him, you could either pay big bucks on StubHub, or simply try your luck and show up.
If you have a ticket, I’ll see you there.
