Sir Paul McCartney performs at The O2 Arena during his ‘Got Back’ world tour on December 18, 2024 in … More
When Paul McCartney brings his Got Back tour to North America this fall, he’ll play stadiums, arenas and amphitheaters – with the exception of one night in Nashville, Tennessee.
On Nov. 6, McCartney plays a gig at The Pinnacle, a new concert hall in Music City operated by live entertainment giant and Got Back tour promoter AEG Presents. The room reaches capacity at 4,500 people, making it one of the most intimate venues booked on a McCartney tour in recent memory (not including pop-up shows or impromptu gigs).
The Pinnacle opened in February 2025, since hosting multi-night shows with Jack White, Jason Isbell and Eric Church, among others. Still, bringing an artist known for playing some of the largest venues in the world to Nashville for a rare performance outside of an arena or stadium-sized room is a “defining moment” for The Pinnacle, said Mike DuCharme, regional vice president at AEG Presents.

“We built this venue to create unforgettable nights for both fans and artists — and there’s no greater example than this,” DuCharme said in a statement for Forbes.
Allen Corbett, vice president of AEG Presents Carolinas, added, “To be able to get Paul to agree to play The Pinnacle, a brand new state of the art venue, is a dream come true. It’s going to be a very special intimate evening and I’m getting goosebumps just thinking about it.”
McCartney kicks off his Got Back tour Sept. 29 in Palm Desert, California. Stops include Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Coors Field in Denver, two nights at State Farm Arena in Atlanta and two nights at United Center in Chicago.
Pre-sale tickets launch July 15 at 10 a.m. local time via paulmccartneygotback.com. Fans must register in advance of the on-sale time.
McCartney previously played Nashville in 2014 and 2010. In 2013, he headlined Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in nearby Manchester, Tennessee.
Despite only a handful of performances in the area, the famed songwriter’s history with Nashville dates back five decades. In 1974, McCartney and his family retreated to a 133-acre farm in nearby Wilson County for six weeks, where he and Wings spent time rehearsing in the garage.
During the stay, McCartney wrote and recorded “Junior’s Farm,” a Wings single released later that year. According to Tennessean archives, his time in Nashville included visits with Johnny Cash and Chet Atkins, watching movies at the local drive-in cinema and crashing a performance from Dolly Parton and Porter Wagoner.
