Paul McCartney launched his 2024 South American tour on Tuesday night (October 1st) at the Estadio Centenario in Uruguay. In addition to a host of Beatles and Wings classics, the iconic songwriter performed “Now and Then,” the final Beatles song that was released last year, for the first time. See videos of the show, as well as the full setlist, below.
McCartney (who is 82 years old) ripped through a whopping 37 songs, including hits like “A Hard Day’s Night,” “Blackbird,” “Jet,” Get Back,” “Let It Be,” “Live and Let Die,” and “Hey Jude” before closing out with an encore that boasted the latter half of the famous Abbey Road medley.

He also debuted “Now and Then,” the 2023 Beatles song that was created using a restored John Lennon demo from 1979. Notably, he didn’t pull out any cuts from his most recent album, McCartney III. In fact, he only played two solo songs from the 21st century, “New” from 2013’s New and “Dance Tonight” from 2007’s Memory Almost Full. Check out fan-shot footage of the concert and the full setlist below.
McCartney will tour South America and Mexcio through November, before playing a run of shows in Europe and the UK in December. You can also secure tickets to one of his coming dates in South America or Europe here.
