2018 Austin City Limits Music Festival concert streamed on YouTube

In October 2018, Paul McCartney played two nights at the Austin City Limits Music Festival. In 2020, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the festival was cancelled, and transformed into a streaming event broadcasting concerts from the past editions. On October 11th, eight songs from the 2018 McCartney performances were broadcast on YouTube streaming platform.
