Paul McCartney’s 2025 Got Back Tour Lands in Buffalo: Ticket Details Unveiled
Oh, marvelous. Sir Paul is dusting off his bass again and blessing us with the 2025 “Got Back Tour,” complete with a Buffalo date that’s already triggering presale FOMO. I don’t want to harp on the obvious, but—surprise—McCartney’s hitting North America next spring, kicking off in Pittsburgh on April 9, swooping through Detroit, Nashville, Chicago and ultimately rolling into Buffalo’s KeyBank Center on June 5, 2025, according to his official site and Billboard’s insider dispatch.
Ticket deets? MaccaFan Club members score presale codes this Friday at 10 a.m. local time (via People Magazine), with general sales igniting Monday at noon. Brace yourself: seats will vanish faster than “Hey Jude” at a karaoke bar. Prices stretch from wallet-friendly $50 nosebleeds to $500 platinum bundles boasting soundcheck access and “photo opp” moments—courtesy of Rolling Stone’s scoop. Most mortals will settle somewhere in between, where breathing is still possible.
What’s on the set list? A three-hour sonic buffet spanning Beatles classics, Wings-era anthems and cuts from his surprise hit album McCartney III. Variety confirms the usual suspects—“Band on the Run,” “Live and Let Die”—plus rarities like “Women and Wives.” Observant fans on setlist.fm have even speculated about orchestral flourishes and surprise guests (I told you so—McCartney loves a mystery). Expect sing-alongs, fist pumps and the kind of earworm overload that’ll haunt you until 2026.
Buffalo marks Paul’s first solo show in the Queen City since 2019, after a Wings appearance way back in ’78. KeyBank Center just upgraded its sound system, so audiophiles take note. Despite clocking 82 years, McCartney’s touring juggernaut shows no signs of stalling: last tour hauled in over $245 million, per PollStar. And yes, a slice of ticket revenue goes to local music charities—a PR win, sure, but let’s credit Sir Paul’s genuine push to nurture the next generation of rockers.
Moral of the story? If you’ve ever fantasized about chanting “Let It Be” in an arena or air-drumming through “Get Back,” now’s your chance. Set alarm clocks, refresh Live Nation, and brace your bank account. Merch lines will offer limited-edition vinyl, tour T-shirts and deluxe programs—plus the inevitable StubHub mark-ups. Did anyone expect a different outcome? No? Thought so.
And that, dear reader, is why we can’t have nice things: blink, and you’ll be ticketless. Better luck next tour. Stay tuned for the inevitable on-sale meltdown.
