About

From the Tobin Center website:

Paul McCartney will perform a benefit concert October 1 at the Tobin Center for the Performing Arts, topping off a month-long grand opening celebration for the new $203 million performing arts center located in the heart of downtown San Antonio. In his first San Antonio appearance since 1993, McCartney and his band will perform in the Tobin Center’s 1,750-seat H-E-B Performance Hall as a fundraising event for the new venue. Ticketing information is available by calling The Tobin Center’s development office at 210-223-8624.

“To have Paul McCartney, the single most iconic musician, singer and songwriter in the world, perform as part of our grand opening celebration is special in so many ways,” said J. Bruce Bugg Jr., Chairman of the Bexar County Performing Arts Center Foundation, which owns and operates The Tobin Center. “It is very rare for Paul McCartney to perform in a theater setting instead of a large arena or stadium. This will be a ‘once in a lifetime’ opportunity for people attending this concert to see and hear this incredible musician in the intimacy of The Tobin Center with its world-class acoustics.”

In a theatre like this, I feel like I should be doing Shakespeare or something!

There was a private soundcheck in the afternoon.
