Beatlemania is set to take over Newcastle with music royalty Paul McCartney locked in to rock out McDonald Jones Stadium on Tuesday, October 24, 2023.&nbsp; 
 
An 18-time Grammy Award winner, two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, McCartney is one of the most successful and famous musicians of all time – and he’s coming to Newcastle for the very first time as part of his Got Back tour.&nbsp; 
 
For the past six decades, McCartney, as a solo artist and as a member of The Beatles, The Quarrymen and Wings, has released the most No. 1 hits of all time, including Yesterday, Maybe I’m Amazed, Hey Jude, Let It Be, among many others. 
 
Following on from Elton John’s dual shows in January – the first staged at McDonald Jones Stadium in over 30 years – and P!NK’s upcoming Summer Carnival tour, which sold out within days, and now Paul McCartney, Newcastle’s premier venue is booming as a major event destination. 
 
Venues NSW CEO Kerrie Mather said it’s been a transformational year for McDonald Jones Stadium.&nbsp; 
 
“Venues NSW has worked incredibly hard over the past 12 months to ensure Newcastle becomes a regular stop on any artist’s world tour,” Ms Mather said. 
 
“Following record-breaking Elton John concerts earlier this year, we are delighted to have partnered with Frontier Touring and the City of Newcastle to secure global superstar Paul McCartney, among other major events for McDonald Jones Stadium. 
 
“Paul McCartney is an icon of world music – he’s produced more hits than anyone else on the planet and he’ll be performing them live in Newcastle. There will be no better place to be on October 24 than McDonald Jones Stadium.”
To assist Venues NSW in its quest to continue securing new and exciting major events, a two-year partnership extension has been struck with the City of Newcastle. 
 
City of Newcastle Lord Mayor Nuatali Nelmes said Newcastle continues to shine as a thriving major events destination attracting significant national and international acts.
"We are thrilled to be able to welcome global music icon Paul McCartney to our city in October for what will be a night to remember for thousands of appreciative Novocastrians and tourists," Cr Nelmes said.&nbsp;
"On the back of two unforgettable performances by Elton John and ahead of next year's sold-out Pink concert, Newcastle has truly become a must stop destination for promoters looking for a world-class city to include on their national concert tour schedule.&nbsp; 
 
"Today's announcement is another fantastic outcome of City of Newcastle's ongoing partnership with Venues NSW, which will inject millions of dollars into the local economy and provide an important boost for our tourism and hospitality sectors."
Newcastle Airport CEO Dr Peter Cock said major events were a great driver of inbound tourism, which create jobs and boost the economy.&nbsp;&nbsp;
“Major events are a great drawcard to bring interstate tourists to Newcastle, and we’re proud to help support those events through direct flights from 12 destinations to make it easier for people to get here,” Mr Cock said.&nbsp;
“More generally major events raise the profile of the region, nationally and globally. Once people have experienced what we have to offer, we know they’ll come and visit again.
“As we upgrade the terminal, striving to deliver the airport the region deserves, major events will be a key component in driving demand for more flights and more routes, which means more visitors and a greater economic boost for the Hunter.”
NSW Minister for Sport The Hon. Stephen Kamper added: “It’s incredibly exciting to secure the one-and-only Paul McCartney for Newcastle and Sydney, in what shapes to be the biggest and best concert season ever across the Venues NSW network.
“McCartney joins P!NK, Taylor Swift, Foo Fighters, Robbie Williams, and KISS announced so far, cementing NSW as the home of major events in Australia.”
