Paul McCartney is set to return to the stage with two small-scale performances in Los Angeles, marking his first live appearances since wrapping up his 2025 'Got Back' tour. The legendary artist will play back-to-back nights at The Fonda Theatre on March 27 and 28, offering fans a much more personal concert experience than his recent arena shows.

Why it matters

These intimate shows follow McCartney's extensive 2025 North American tour and come amid speculation about a potential new album release in 2026. The shift from arenas to a smaller 1,200-capacity theater echoes similar gigs he played in New York earlier in 2025, suggesting a desire to connect more directly with fans.

The details

Tickets for the two shows will be extremely limited, with a strict two-per-customer policy. Fans must register through the official ticketing system for a chance to buy, though access is not guaranteed. The concerts will also be phone-free, with devices locked in Yondr pouches during the performances.

  • The shows will take place on March 27 and 28, 2026.
  • McCartney's most recent album, 'McCartney III,' was released in 2020.
