Paul McCartney Live at Dickies Arena, Fort Worth – 17 May 2022

Tuesday 17 May 2022 | Live, Paul McCartney
Dickies Arena, Fort Worth, Texas, USA

On 17 May 2022, Paul McCartney performed at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas — the seventh date of the Got Back Tour. The 36-song set featured an expanded seven-piece band, including a three-piece brass section, and drew from across McCartney's entire career. The Got Back Tour ran from April 2022 to November 2025, covering 80 dates across North America, Europe, Australia, Latin America, and the UK.

The Got Back Tour

The Got Back Tour was Paul McCartney's first major tour since the Freshen Up Tour of 2018–19, and his most extensive since the One On One Tour of 2016–17. Opening on 28 April 2022 in Spokane, Washington, it ran across multiple legs through 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025, concluding in Nashville in November 2025. The tour included landmark shows at Glastonbury Festival in June 2022 — where McCartney headlined at the age of 80 — and at the Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro in December 2023.

The Band

The Got Back Tour featured an expanded seven-piece band — the largest McCartney had toured with since the Wings Over the World Tour of 1975–76:

Paul 'Wix' Wickens — vocals, keyboards, guitar, percussion, harmonica
Brian Ray — vocals, guitar, bass
Rusty Anderson — vocals, guitar
Abe Laboriel Jr — vocals, drums
Kenji Fenton — saxophone
Mike Davis — trumpet
Paul Burton — trombone

The addition of the brass section — Fenton, Davis, and Burton — allowed McCartney to perform songs such as 'Got to Get You into My Life' and 'Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da' with their full horn arrangements for the first time in decades.
