Curitiba

From Paul McCartney, February 13, 2024:

⁠Phew! The worst of Brazil’s heatwave may have passed, but it was still pretty hard work getting used to working in the temperatures there – a crazy concept to deal with for a Brit in December! We faced the hottest day of the tour yet when we got to Curitiba in South Brazil, but come rain, shine, or a swarm of grasshoppers (as happened to Paul in Brazil a decade previously), it never seems to affect Paul or his performance.

“The experience of a Paul McCartney live show is much more than any music lover could want from a rock show” – Bem Paraná, December 2023

It was only the third time he’s played in the city, so the Curitiba crowd – which was more than 43,000 people – was particularly pleased to have Paul back there, giving him a suitably warm welcome as he took to the stage of the Estádio Couto Pereira.

It was fantastic to see the levels of passion and devotion coming from the Brazilian crowds all through this tour, but we were all amused to learn that day of an online campaign bubbling up ahead of Paul’s imminent shows in Rio de Janeiro, which saw fans appealing for Paul’s likeness to be projected upon the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue, which overlooks the former capital city from the peak of the Corcovado mountain, to honour his arrival there.

“He is the greatest music artist alive, the tribute is more than deserved,” argued one fan, as the hashtag #McCartneyNoCristo gathered momentum. We would have to wait and see whether the authorities were listening…
