Paul McCartney Announces European Tour Dates

Paul McCartney will be hitting the road in his native U.K. after a five year hiatus. The singer-songwriter recently unveiled his schedule for the “Good Evening Tour” that features an extensive U.K. leg. It will be a seven city run, that will mark his only appearance in the U.K. this year.

Take a look at the tour dates…

Here are the dates below:

Good Evening Europe Tour:
12/02/09   Hamburg, Germany – Color Line Arena
12/03/09   Berlin, Germany – O2 World
12/09/09   Arnhem, Holland – Gelredome
12/10/09   Paris, France – Bercy
12/16/09   Cologne, France – Koln Arena
12/20/09   Dublin, Ireland – The O2
12/22/09   London, England – The O2 Arena

According to McCartney,

“This is my chance to bring our current show home to where it all began. Starting in Hamburg, ending in London and rocking everywhere in between. I’m very much looking forward to ending the year on a high.”

This will be a follow up to the highly successful U.S. tour he wrapped this past summer. On an interesting side note, Berlin will get their first show from McCartney in 16 years, since he visited back in 1993 with the “New World Tour.” I find it interesting that it’s taken him this long to do a European tour. What’s up with that?

What do you think of McCartney returning to the U.K to tour?
