Legendary Beatles singer-songwriter Paul McCartney will bring the current leg of his Got Back Tour to the Alamodome on Saturday, Oct. 25, concert promoter AEG said Thursday.

The tour is the 19-time Grammy winner’s first extensive set of North American dates since 2022, and San Antonio is the only Texas show. The trek gets underway Sept. 29 in Palm Desert, California, and concludes Nov. 25 in Chicago.

The setlist is expected to span six decades of McCartney’s music, from Beatles and Wings favorites to solo material, according to AEG officials. The 83-year-old regularly shifts between playing bass, piano and guitar during live performances that Billboard magazine recently hailed as “a bit of a religious experience.”

General tickets for the San Antonio concert go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, Aug. 1, via the Alamodome. Presale and VIP packages will be available starting at 10 a.m. Tuesday, July 29, for those who sign up at a special tour website.

The concert will be a homecoming of sorts for McCartney, who on May 29, 1993, performed at the first major event staged at the newly opened Alamodome. He also performed a more intimate Oct. 1, 2014, benefit concert for the 1,700-seat Tobin Center for the Performing Arts during its infancy.

The current tour will feature McCartney’s longtime band: Paul “Wix” Wickens on keyboards, Brian Ray on bass and guitar, Rusty Anderson on guitar and Abe Laboriel Jr. on drums. The members will be augmented by the Hot City Horns, including Mike Davis on trumpet, Kenji Fenton on saxes and Paul Burton on trombone.

The road dates also will feature state-of-the-art audio and video technology meant to ensure great sound and views from anywhere in the house, according to AEG officials.

Ticket prices unavailable, 8 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 25, Alamodome, 100 Montana St., alamodome.com.
