HAMILTON — Paul McCartney is due to take the stage in Hamilton tonight, wrapping the three Canadian dates on his lengthy Got Back tour.

The 83-year-old former Beatle is the reopening act at the newly renovated TD Coliseum, formerly known as FirstOntario Centre.

The last time McCartney played the Hamilton venue was in 2016.

McCartney’s Got Back tour began in the United States in 2022.

He revived it for each of the following three years with swings through Australia, South America and Europe.

McCartney brought the tour to Canada for the first time earlier this week, performing in Montreal on Monday and Tuesday.
