Paul McCartney tour chronology
Up and Coming Tour (2010-11) On the Run Tour (2011)

The On the Run Tour is a concert tour by Paul McCartney. The tour began on July 15, 2011, with McCartney's first two concerts at Yankee Stadium in New York City.^{[1][2][3][4][5][6]}

McCartney's appearances at Yankee Stadium occurred nearly two years to the day after his legendary July 17, 18 & 21, 2009 concerts, immortalized on the Grammy-winning gold-certified Good Evening New York City CD/DVD.

The tour is promoted by AEG Live, and six of the eight shows in the first leg (with the exception of the Yankee Stadium shows) were presented by HP.

Background

McCartney started his 2011 live agenda in May with his first show in Chile since 1993. The second night of two sold-out shows at Rio de Janeiro's Estadio Olimpico Joao Havelange were streamed over the Internet in Latin America and was viewed by over 1.5 million people.^[7][8] After those shows, he announced his first Yankee Stadium show.^[9]

In the United States

Paul McCartney at Wrigley Field, August 1, 2011

In response to overwhelming popular demand for tickets to McCartney's July 15 Yankee Stadium debut, a second date was added for Saturday, July 16. McCartney also performed on three more dates on his On The Run tour: July 24 at Comerica Park in Detroit, MI, July 31 at Wrigley Field in Chicago, IL, and August 4 at The Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati, OH. McCartney's Detroit, Chicago and Cincinnati stadium gigs were hugely anticipated returns to cities with that have hosted historical performances in the past: The July 24 Comerica Park and July 31 Wrigley Field shows were his first visits to the Detroit area and Chicago since 2005 (McCartney has not performed within Detroit City limits since 1976 during the Wings Over America Tour),^[10] while the August 4 Great American Ball Park was his first Cincinnati appearance in 18 years, his last show in the city being on The New World Tour in 1993.^[9]
