Paul McCartney Live: Estadio Defensores del Chaco, Asunción

Tuesday 17 April 2012 | Live, Paul McCartney

Paul McCartney performed at the Estadio Defensores del Chaco in Asunción, Paraguay, on 17 April 2012 as part of his On The Run Tour. The show marked the 25th date of the tour and drew an audience of approximately 30,000 fans.

The performance featured subtle variations from the standard touring setlist, most notably the inclusion of Wings tracks ‘Venus And Mars’ and ‘Rock Show’ ahead of ‘Jet’, offering a rare mid-set configuration change for this leg of the tour.

Despite a tightly scheduled visit, McCartney was also invited by Paraguayan President Fernando Lugo for a tour of government sites in Asunción, which he declined due to touring commitments.
