Paul McCartney played a surprise show at New York City’s Bowery Ballroom on Tuesday night (February 11). Tickets for this intimate show from the Beatles legend sold-out in under 30 minutes. This was McCartney’s first show of 2025, following his 2022-2024 Got Back Tour. No word on if McCartney will perform additional shows in the U.S., or if this was just a special one-off gig from the music icon. (Rolling Stone)
