“[Nashville’s] a musical center,” Paul McCartney told the Nashville Banner in 1974. “I’ve just heard so much about it that I wanted to see for myself.”
Now he’s ready to get back. McCartney will take the stage in Nashville for the first time in over a decade on Thursday, Nov. 6. He’s playing The Pinnacle, a 4,500-person capacity venue that’s more intimate than other stops on the tour. Here’s how to register for the presale.
The visit also coincides with “Paul McCartney Photographs 1963-64: Eyes of the Storm,” which opens at the Frist the very next day. The exhibition features rarely seen images McCartney captured during the early rise of Beatlemania.
