In the first 18 months since its launch, Paul’s incredible ‘Out There’ tour has been seen by almost two million people around the world. So far, this tour has seen Paul and his band perform a total of 64 shows in 12 different countries in venues of all different shapes and sizes. 

Today, Paul announces plans to come back to Europe this year for nine special dates in places he’s not yet visited with his current tour.  The shows will include his first concerts in the UK since 2012’s special Teenage Cancer Trust show at the Royal Albert Hall. His London date marks his 50th ever performance in London as a solo artist. Paul will return to France for two concerts for the first time since being awarded France’s highest award, the Legion of Honour, in 2012 for services to music. The last time that Paul visited the Dutch capital of Amsterdam was when he toured with Wings in 1972.  In July the tour will see Paul and his band at their first European festival in five years with a headlining slot at Denmark’s Roskilde. The show in Norway, Oslo sees him returning after last playing there as part of 2004’s ‘O4 Summer Tour’ and his show in Stockholm will be his first there since 2011’s ‘On The Run’ tour.

These new shows will mark the second time the ‘Out There’ tour has come to Europe since June 2013 when Paul performed in Poland, Italy and Austria.

Speaking about the tour dates, Paul told us:

“I’m looking forward to taking the ‘Out There’ tour back to Europe this summer. It’s been a little while since I’ve performed in some of these places so we know it’s going to be a fun tour. I hope the audiences enjoy this tour as much as we’ve been enjoying it ourselves all over the world.”
