Paul McCartney performed at the O2 Arena in London, England, on 19 December 2024.
It was the final show of the Got Back Tour, which lasted for 59 dates between April 2022 and December 2024, and the second of two consecutive nights at the O2.
McCartney’s band was Paul ‘Wix’ Wickens (vocals, keyboards, guitar, percussion, harmonica), Brian Ray (vocals, guitar, bass), Rusty Anderson (vocals, guitar), Abe Laboriel Jr (vocals, drums), Kenji Fenton (saxophone), Mike Davis (trumpet), and Paul Burton (trombone).
They were joined during ‘Get Back’ by The Rolling Stones’ guitarist Ronnie Wood. McCartney played his restored 1961 Höfner 500/1 bass guitar, which was stolen in 1972 but was found and returned in early 2024.
In the encore, McCartney was joined by his former Beatles bandmate Ringo Starr, who played drums on ‘Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)’ and ‘Helter Skelter’.
