Paul McCartney's Out There Tour

Out There is Paul McCartney's current tour (2013-2014) in which he continues to play a set list of predominantly Beatles songs.  It is sometimes listed as the "Out There! Tour."  The production elements include a "scissor platform," laser lights, new video graphics, and a stage floor with illuminated LED panels.  The tour has (and will) visit both old and new venues around the world.

The Out There Tour began in South America on May 4, 2013.  In May, 2013, McCartney played in Belo Horizonte, Goiania, and Fortaleza.  In May and June, 2013, McCartney played in North America at Orlando, Austin, Memphis, Tulsa, New York City, and Manchester.  In June, 2013 he played in Europe at Warsaw, Verona, and Vienna.  In July and August, 2013 he returned to North America to play in Ottawa, Boston, Washington, D.C., Indianapolis, Milwaukee, Seattle, Quebec City, San Francisco, Winnipeg, and Regina.   In November, 2013, he played in Asia at Osaka, Fukuoka, and Tokyo.

In April, 2014, he played in South America at Montevideo, Santiago, Lima, and Quito.  Tour dates in May for South Korea and Japan were cancelled, as were North America dates in June, due to a viral infection that temporarily hospitalized the singer.  The June North America dates in the United States have been rescheduled to October.  The concert has resumed according to the following schedule running from July to October, 2014.  In these months, McCartney has played (or will play) in Albany, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Fargo, Lincoln, Kansas City, Minneapolis, Missoula, Salt Lake City, Los Angeles, Phoenix, San Francisco, Lubbock, New Orleans, Dallas, Atlanta, Nashville, Jacksonville, Louisville, and Greensboro.

The basic set list includes the following songs (with no intermission).  Some substitutions have been made during the tour.
