🚨🚨🚨 Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr Announce Final Tribute Tour — ‘Back to the Beginning’ Will Honor Lennon and Harrison in the Most Emotional Way Yet!
In a stunning and emotional announcement, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr have revealed plans for a heartfelt 2025 tour across England titled “Back to the Beginning.”
Set for spring and summer 2025, “Back to the Beginning” will mark what both surviving Beatles describe as their “final joint musical chapter.” The tour, which will visit iconic cities from Liverpool to London, is being hailed as a once-in-a-lifetime tribute not only to the legacy of The Beatles, but to their late bandmates and lifelong friends — John Lennon and George Harrison.
A Journey Home
Paul and Ringo say the tour is not just about the music, but about the memories — and the return to where it all began. “We’re coming full circle,” McCartney, 83, said in a heartfelt press statement. “This is for John, for George, and for the fans who kept the spirit alive. It’s time to go back to where the dream started.”
The pair plan to open the tour in their hometown of Liverpool, with a historic performance at The Cavern Club — the legendary venue where the Beatles played some of their earliest shows. “It’ll be raw, it’ll be real,” said Ringo, 85. “And it’ll be full of love.”
Setlists to Span Decades
The tour is expected to feature Beatles classics such as “Here Comes the Sun,” “Let It Be,” “Come Together,” and “Strawberry Fields Forever” — many of which haven’t been performed live in decades. But what’s truly stirring fans is the promise of deeply personal tributes to Lennon and Harrison.
Sources close to the tour reveal that McCartney will perform “Imagine” on piano in a solo spotlight, while Ringo plans to honor Harrison with a stripped-down acoustic version of “While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” accompanied by archival footage of George on screen.
Surprise Guests and Special Moments
While no official guest list has been released, insiders hint that the duo have reached out to artists who were close to Lennon and Harrison — including Dhani Harrison, Sean Lennon, and even Eric Clapton — to join select shows. A full orchestra is also expected to accompany key performances in London and Manchester, underscoring the emotional depth of the tour.
Legacy in Motion
Fans and critics alike are already calling it “the most emotional tour in Beatles history.” More than just a concert series, “Back to the Beginning” aims to be a living documentary — a musical memoir of the greatest band of all time.
“This is the final bow,” McCartney confirmed. “We’ve had a ride like no other. And now, we want to say thank you — properly.”
Ticket pre-sales begin in August, with general sales opening in early September. Given the historical magnitude, shows are expected to sell out within minutes.
