Paul McCartney live: BOK Center, Tulsa – 29 May 2013

Wednesday 29 May 2013 | Live, Paul McCartney
BOK Center, Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA

On Wednesday 29 May 2013, Paul McCartney performed at the BOK Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma — the ninth show of the Out There Tour, which ran for 91 dates between May 2013 and October 2015. It was the first of two consecutive nights in Tulsa, with a second show the following night on 30 May.

A severe weather warning was in place across Oklahoma, but heavy rains failed to dampen the atmosphere. Governor Mary Fallin had earlier proclaimed 29 May to be Paul McCartney Day in the state of Oklahoma.

McCartney had previously performed at the BOK Center on 17 August 2009 during the Summer Live ’09 Tour, and returned there on 22 October 2025 for the Got Back Tour.
