Paul McCartney Live at Estadio Ciudad de La Plata, Tolosa – 17 May 2016
Tuesday 17 May 2016 | Live, Paul McCartney
Estadio Ciudad de La Plata, Tolosa, Argentina
On 17 May 2016, Paul McCartney performed at the Estadio Ciudad de La Plata in Tolosa, Argentina — the 11th date of the One On One Tour and the first of two consecutive nights at the venue. The 39-song concert set was preceded by a 12-song soundcheck, a tradition McCartney had maintained throughout the tour, often including rarities and covers not performed in the main show.
The One On One Tour
The One On One Tour ran from 13 April 2016 to 28 October 2017, covering 77 dates across North America, South America, Europe, and Japan. It was McCartney's most extensive tour since the Up and Coming Tour of 2010–11, and took its name from the intimate, direct relationship between performer and audience that McCartney sought to create despite the arena and stadium scale of the shows. The South American leg in May 2016 — opening in Córdoba on 15 May and continuing with two nights in Tolosa — was among the first dates of the tour.
