Montreal

This was the first of two consecutive nights in Montreal and the sixteenth show of the 2025 US leg of the “Got Back” tour. Paul McCartney had last performed in Montreal in September 2018 during his Freshen Up Tour.

As he usually does in front of French-speaking audiences, Paul added “Michelle” to the set list.

Spotted in the audience were Elvis Costello and Diana Krall, with whom Paul contributed at some point of his career.

Hi people of Canada. Paul here. Very excited because we’re coming back to Canada. And it’s been seven years since we played there. So I’m really looking forward to getting back. I love Canada. A lot of my relatives emigrated to Canada, so we have a great affection for it. We’re going to Montreal and Hamilton, and we are going to rock and roll with you. So come along and see us. Canada, we love you.

From Montreal Gazette, November 18, 2025:

Get back, Jojo. Pop icon Paul McCartney brought his Got Back tour to Montreal for the first of two nights at a packed Bell Centre on Monday, taking fans on a magical, mysterious tour through decades of music history during which he has been an enduring and evolving presence. […]

Super-fan Scott Fowler, 35, was seeing McCartney for the 15th time. What keeps him coming back? “Good sound quality, good quality concert, good music,” he said. “He has so many songs, such a big catalogue.”

Fowler was with his fiancée of two days, Jen Halligan, who was celebrating her 29th birthday at her very first McCartney concert. “Scott and his family love The Beatles and love Paul McCartney,” she said. “He’s the founding father of everyone I listen to today. He’s the teacher of every artist I love.”

David Vandernoot, 67, and his partner Delphine are visiting Montreal from the French-speaking Caribbean island of Saint Barthélemy, where McCartney frequently vacations. “We often see him around, but we’ve never caught him live,” Vandernoot said. “We came to see how he does it at 83, to keep singing. He’s a living legend.”

McCartney brought the legend to life Monday night, playing hit after hit in a nearly three-hour concert that had a few lulls but for the most part felt like one big nostalgic love-in. […]

“Thank you so much, Montreal; we knew we were going to have a party here tonight,” McCartney said as the show wound down. “Only one thing remains to be said, which is we’ll see you next time.”

Spotted in the audience on the way out were a couple of other music giants: Elvis Costello and Diana Krall. Asked for his reaction on the show as the two sat down to wait out the rush, Costello replied: “It’s beyond words, isn’t it, really? Beautiful, beautiful.”

“It was so emotional,” Krall added.

“That’s the thing,” Costello concurred. “Really emotional.”
