It appears that Paul McCartney is plotting something this year, and signs point to a potential tour. The musician took to his Instagram Stories on Wednesday, posting an intriguing photo of two guitar picks that read “Paul McCartney” and “Got Back in 2025.” The post also included a link that leads to a sign-up page.
Notably, one pick is white, the other is blue, and his name is in red, hinting that it may be plotting a tour of the U.S. this year. A rep for McCartney did not immediately return Rolling Stone’s request for comment.
Once fans click on the link, it takes them to a page that says “Sign up to receive information on tour dates, pre-sales and much more…”
McCartney’s reference to “Got Back” likely refers to his last U.S. tour of the same name, which opened in April 2022 at Spokane Arena in Spokane, Washington, and hit several U.S. cities through June 2022 before it went worldwide, concluding in December 2024 in London.
It is also ostensibly a reference to the Beatles’ 1969 Number One track “Get Back,” which the band recorded with Billy Preston. The album version of the song features dialogue from the end of their famous rooftop concert at Apple Corps in London, another hint pointing to McCartney’s IG post being performance-related.
There is also, of course, the song’s lyrics, which reference the U.S. locales of “Tuscon, Arizona” and “California grass” and the “Get Back” chorus, and it’s likely McCartney will get back to the U.S. for some shows soon.
