“One On One” concert in Colombia cancelled

About

In June 22, 2017, it was announced that Paul McCartney was coming back to Colombia to what would have been his second concert in the country. But on October 5, 2017, the local company in charge of the concert announced that the concert would be postponed due to production issues, and that “Paul’s tour team and promoters are studying to reschedule the show as part of an upcoming South American tour“.

No formal announcement was made on the official paulmccartney.com website, but the concert disappeared from the agenda of the “One On One” tour, and McCartney never came back to Colombia.
