Beatles fans rejoice, Paul McCartney is bringing his Band on the Run tour back to North America this year.

 

The tour, which began in in July of last year at Yankee Stadium, has had limited engagements in North America throughout its near 18-month run as Sir Paul hasn't really been much of a road warrior lately (he is a Beatle after all, so it's not as if he needs to collect any revenue generated from touring). But while Macca hasn't been touring much recently, the shows he's delivered on this tour are reportedly close to three hours in length so fans are getting plenty of bang for their ticket-buying buck.

 

Earlier today four cities were added to the tour's North American itenerary: Houston, St. Louis, Edmonton and Vancouver, B.C. The Edmonton show will mark McCartney's first time performing in that city and the Vancouver gig is his first show there since the Beatles played in Vancouver in 1964.
