The Paul McCartney Australian tour for November and December 2017 is one of the Australian music industry’s worst kept secrets but it’s getting better all the time.
Frontier Touring has posted a pic of an arm playing an acoustic guitar. Yes it is McCartney’s.
McCartney last toured Australia in 1993. He was due back in 2002 but cancelled after poor ticket sales at the time using the Bali bombing as the official reason. That stunt caused damage to McCartney’s reputation that lasted a decade. His long-time publicist was fired over it and for more than a decade McCartney’s tours have bypassed Australia.

This time Frontier Touring boss Michael Gudinski has convinced Sir Paul to come back to Australia. Gudinski was behind the last Stones and Springsteen tours and McCartney gives him a hat trick of the highest order.
