Paul McCartney performed at the Estádio da Ressacada in Florianópolis, Brazil, on 25 April 2012 as part of his On The Run Tour.

The concert formed the 29th date of a 37-show tour that ran between July 2011 and November 2012, marking one of McCartney’s major touring phases in South America and beyond.

The performance featured his core touring band: Paul “Wix” Wickens, Brian Ray, Rusty Anderson, and Abe Laboriel Jr, delivering a set that blended Beatles classics, Wings material, and solo tracks.

The show included minor setlist adjustments typical of the tour’s evolving structure, with a second encore notably featuring ‘Birthday’ and ‘I Saw Her Standing There’ in place of ‘Helter Skelter’.

McCartney later returned to the same venue on 19 October 2024 as part of his Got Back Tour, highlighting the stadium’s continued role in his Brazilian touring history.
