SAN ANTONIO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In the wake of the incredible reaction and overwhelming demand generated by its first 19 shows, Paul McCartney's Got Back Tour has added an October 25 headline at San Antonio, TX's Alamodome to its wildly anticipated North American itinerary.
The Alamodome announcement brings Got Back's 2025 run to a total of 20 dates marking Paul's first extensive series of shows across the US and Canada since 2022. The tour kicks off September 29th with Paul's Greater Palm Springs area live debut at Acrisure Arena and runs through to a November 24-25th finale at the United Center in Chicago. Got Back 2025 will feature Paul's long-awaited return to Las Vegas, Denver, Des Moines, Minneapolis, Tulsa, San Antonio, New Orleans, Atlanta, Nashville, Columbus, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Montreal, and Hamilton – plus a few cities that will be hosting their first-ever Paul McCartney concerts, Albuquerque and the aforementioned Greater Palm Springs area.

Irrefutably one of the most successful and influential singer-songwriters and performers of all time, McCartney's concerts bring to life the most beloved catalogue in music. With songs like 'Hey Jude,' 'Live and Let Die,' 'Band on the Run,' 'Let It Be' and so many more, the Paul McCartney live experience is everything any music lover could ever want from a rock show and more: hours of the greatest moments from the last 60 years of music – dozens of songs from Paul's solo, Wings and of course Beatles songbooks that have formed the soundtracks of our lives.
Paul McCartney launched his Got Back tour in 2022 with 16 sold out shows across the US that led up to his history-making set at Glastonbury in June 2022. In 2023 Paul performed 18 shows as Got Back rocked through Australia, Mexico and Brazil. In 2024, Paul amazed capacity crowds at more than 20 dates spanning from South America and Mexico to the UK and Europe.
Paul McCartney's live shows have continued to wow fans and inspire new levels of acclaim from critics the world over, with recent raves from the U.S. media including:
'Seeing Paul McCartney live remains a bit of a religious experience' — BILLBOARD
'Remarkable… This is the magic trick I was talking about, something The Beatles mastered before anyone else: to be pure showbiz and shockingly new at the same time, to know your biz completely and still, somehow, not be bored… To make genius look effortless, funny and fun… he played piano, bass, guitar and ukulele; he spun out indelible riffs without fuss or fanfare, and when he rolled up his sleeves and leaned into the innuendo of 'Let Me Roll It,' the years fell away and his hyper-competence turned into that swag, an unfaded allure.' — NPR
'These songs appear to have a restorative effect on McCartney, as if he draws from the same well of youthful energy and happy memories that all Beatle fans do upon hearing their music… No wonder he never stops. Neither have his fans, who seem to grow younger every year.' — PEOPLE
'It was among the most touchingly normal miracles I've ever experienced… 'Some of us have to get some sleep, you know,' McCartney said, after 'Let It Be.' But he didn't look like an old man in need of sleep. He looked like Paul McCartney. Forever returning for another curtain call, another formal bow before the crowd, a man soaking in the energy emitted by fans like a cat in the sun.' — PITCHFORK
'Everybody in the room was having the night of our lives — but nobody was having more fun than Paul… all boyish energy and vigor… it was devastatingly powerful to hear Paul sing 'Now and Then' in the city where John wrote it, bringing it all back home. It was a moment that felt intensely private — as if we were eavesdropping on the two of them — yet massive... the whole show was a joyful explosion' — ROLLING STONE
'An icon among icons... a vision of graceful nonchalance' — USA TODAY
'As always, McCartney switched between bass, guitar and piano, and he was in strong voice, hitting essential high notes with ease… a once-in-a-lifetime moment' — VARIETY
Paul and his band have performed in an unparalleled range of venues and locations worldwide: From outside the Colosseum in Rome, Moscow's Red Square, Buckingham Palace, The White House and a free show in Mexico for over 400,000 people to the last ever show at San Francisco's Candlestick Park where The Beatles played their final concert in 1966, a 2016 week in the California desert that included two headline sets at the historic Desert Trip festival and a jam-packed club gig for a few hundred lucky fans at Pappy & Harriet's Pioneertown Palace, two Glastonbury Festival headline slots, rocking the Bowery in New York City for a week of spontaneous club shows, and even one performance broadcast live into Space!
Featuring Paul's longtime band – Paul 'Wix' Wickens (keyboards), Brian Ray (bass/guitar), Rusty Anderson (guitar) and Abe Laboriel Jr (drums) – and constantly upgraded state of the art audio and video technology that ensures an unforgettable experience from every seat in the house, a Paul McCartney concert is never anything short of life-changing. The Got Back Tour also features the Hot City Horns — Mike Davis (trumpet), Kenji Fenton (saxes) and Paul Burton (trombone) — who first joined Paul in 2018 to perform at Grand Central Station ahead of embarking on the Freshen Up World Tour in the same year.

Battlefield 6's Game-Changing Multiplayer and More Revealed During Blockbuster Global Event

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, during a live global multiplayer reveal event, Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: EA) and Battlefield Studios unveiled Battlefield 6™, the ultimate all-out warfare experience. Launching on October 10, Battlefield 6 is available on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC (Steam™, EA App, Epic Games Store). During the blockbuster event, Battlefield Studios provided a first look at new and returning multiplayer modes, a tantalizing sneak peek of the global scale blockbuster Single Player campaign and of course the evolution of Battlefield Portal. The year is 2027. The world is on the edge of chaos. After a high-profile assassination shocks the world, major European countries have left NATO, while the US and its allies grapple with the fallout. A massive private military corporation unafraid to cross lines, with deep pockets and the latest tech, looks to fill the power vacuum. This army is PAX ARMATA. What's left of NATO is in tatters, wounded and battered. This is the world of Battlefield 6. Battlefield 6 introduces a host of new features, including the all-new Kinesthetic Combat System, which brings enhancements to movement and gunplay. This gives players an unprecedented level of mobility, offering new tactical options such as Drag and Revive to pull teammates out of danger and back from the brink, and mounting weapons on walls to reduce recoil. The iconic class system returns better than ever, with Assault, Recon, Support, and Engineer, empowering players to define their role on the battlefield. The four roles have been enhanced, designed to empower players to push their team towards victory, each with class-specific gadgets, signature weapons and dedicated training. Destruction also returns, but enhanced to offer an unparalleled level of freedom, letting players transform the combat zone, to create new paths, flank enemies and dominate the battle. Battlefield 6 will launch with a robust package of multiplayer modes and maps, taking the fight around the world from Egypt, to Gibraltar and the streets of New York. Each map features multiple combat zones, hand-crafted and tailored to suit specific modes, ensuring each fight is designed to compliment the player experience and provide a variety of play options. Fan favorite multiplayer modes return in Battlefield 6, with classic staples making an appearance, including Conquest, Breakthrough, and Rush. Players will also experience a host of fast-paced and intense first-person shooter staples, including Team Deathmatch, Squad Deathmatch, Domination and King of the Hill. While a brand new mode called Escalation sees two teams fight to capture strategic control points. 'We knew when we set out to create the future of Battlefield, we had to nail the fundamentals of what players have loved about the series for more than 20 years,' said Byron Beede, Senior Vice President & General Manager of Battlefield. 'We're back in our all-out warfare playground, with four world-class teams developing the game as a single squad known as Battlefield Studios. Criterion, DICE, Motive, and Ripple Effect have put their heart and soul into this next Battlefield and we're thrilled to have shared our first look with you today and can't wait to see you playing next weekend during the Open Beta.' Battlefield 6 also launches with an all-new and improved iteration of Portal – the creative toolset that lets you redraw the lines of war. Portal is more powerful and streamlined than ever before, giving players brand new tools to create completely unique content called Community Experiences. Ambitious post-launch support will continue to add more modes, maps, weapons, and other features to the game on a consistent basis. 'I've worked on a lot of titles over the years and can confidently say that Battlefield 6 is something special,' said Vince Zampella, Executive Vice President. 'We can't wait to show more of Battlefield 6 's intense tactical combat and epic warfare in the months to come, leading up to its release on October 10." Battlefield' s biggest Open Beta ever goes LIVE for two weekends from August 9 through August 10 and from August 14 through 17. Fans will have the chance to join the Open Beta two days early on August 7, by watching some of their favorite streamers play the game.

Drummer Josh Freese Talks Return to Nine Inch Nails After Foo Fighters Split: ‘I'm Incredibly Excited'

Veteran studio and live drummer Josh Freese had three simple words to describe his excitement about re-joining Nine Inch Nails: 'Let's F–king Go.' That was the message Freese posted on his Instagram on Wednesday night (July 30) after news broke earlier in the day that he would be behind the kit again for the Trent Reznor-led band just two months after being relieved of his two year gig as the Foo Fighters' timekeeper. In the post, prolific drummer Freese, 52, who has performed with Guns N' Roses, DEVO, A Perfect Circle, the Vandals and many more, said that leaving NIN in 2008 after three years was 'one of the hardest decisions I've ever had to make.' He explained that, at the time, he and his wife were expecting their third child and he knew he had to step away from touring to be with his family. More from Billboard Nine Inch Nails Drops Surprise New Song, Reveals Release Date & Tracklist for 'Tron: Ares' Soundtrack Jelly Roll & Shaboozey to Headline Australia's Strummingbird Festival Roze Oficial, Max Carra, Valen & Ramky En Los Controles Rule Billboard Argentina Hot 100 Chart For Third Week With 'Tu Jardín Con Enanitos' Now, though, he could not be more psyched to jump back into the high-intensity NIN universe. 'NIN was a band that left me walking off stage every single night thinking, 'That was incredible. We absolutely crushed it,'' he wrote. 'And it wasn't just a feeling, it was a certainty. That level of intensity, pride, and satisfaction after each show is something I've rarely experienced anywhere else.' While it's unknown how long Freese has been sitting on the news, he doesn't appear to have a ton of time to get back into the thundering NIN groove, as the band is slated to kick off its run of North American Peel It Back dates in Oakland, Calif. on Aug. 6. To hear him tell it, though, he's more than ready. 'Now, being back on tour with Trent and the crew — helping them do what they do best night after night — is something I'm incredibly excited about,' Freese wrote. 'To be part of that energy again feels amazing. If you get a chance to catch one of these shows over the next six weeks, I promise, they're going to be absolutely unforgettable.' The Hollywood Reporter broke the news on Wednesday of an MLB-like drummer swap between NIN and Foo Fighters, with Freese headed back to NIN and that band's most recent timekeeper Ilan Rubin — who joined NIN in 2009 — taking over the drum seat in the Foo Fighters ahead of their upcoming tour dates in Indonesia, Singapore and Japan. It was unknown at press time if Rubin, who also performs with Tom DeLonge's Angels & Airwaves, is joining the Foos full time or only for the upcoming shows. The Foo Fighters, who have not played a full show since Sept. 28, 2024, will kick off a limited run of gigs in Jakarta, Indonesia on Oct. 2 before headlining the Formula 1 Grand Prix Singapore two days later and then playing three shows in Japan ahead of a return to North America on Nov. 14 for a show at Corona Capital in Mexico City on Nov. 14.
