2026

In November 2025, Paul McCartney released a new book co-authored with historian Ted Widmer, titled “Wings: The Story of a Band on the Run.” To coincide with its release, a new Wings compilation album, “WINGS,” was issued. The celebration of the Wings legacy continued in 2026. In February, the documentary “Man On The Run“, directed by Morgan Neville, was released on Amazon Prime Video, alongside its accompanying soundtrack album. In May 2026, a dedicated exhibition featuring memorabilia and archival materials opened at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, further highlighting the enduring impact of Wings and Paul McCartney’s work during that period.

In March 2026, Paul McCartney’s new album, “The Boys Of Dungeon Lane,” was announced.

Here are what to expect from Paul McCartney in 2026:

• A 50th-anniversary “Wings At The Speed Of Sound” half-mastered vinyl reissue.
• A new album, produced by Andy Watt – See below
• The new BBC documentary, “The Beatle and The Bass” (working title)
• A new Super Deluxe Edition of any Beatles album? “Rubber Soul” SDE was rumoured for some years.
• The second track Paul recorded with The Rolling Stones and Andrew Watt to be released?
• A re-release of Denny Laine’s “Holly Days” album ?
  • From Steve Hoffman Music Forums, October 15, 2023: In an interview for “MonkeeMania Radio”, Liz Hines (Denny Laine’s wife) says that Paul and Denny text quite often and recently were working on a reissue of Holly Days, with Denny making new cover art. It was put on hold when Denny became ill.
  • From Steve Hoffman Music Forums, February 3, 2024: Liz Hines: “Last summer, Denny contacted Paul McCartney to discuss re-releasing his Buddy Holly album, Holly Days. Paul was all for it. He instructed his office to contact me to start the project, but everything came to a halt once Denny got ill in late July and my focus was on him 100%. Eventually, I’ll resume this, as it’s one of my promises I made to Denny.” And also she said: You can hear the remastered ‘It’s So Easy’ from Denny’s Holly Days album here: Celebrating Music’s Greatest Stars – Buddy Holly – Listen To Me – BBC Sounds

The following projects are likely dead, so the likelihood they will surface again in 2025, is low, but who knows?

• Another release in the Archive Collection series? The long-rumoured “London Town” / “Back To The Egg” reissues would close the re-release of all Wings records.
• The Charlie Lightening documentary – See New Paul McCartney documentary in the works
• “It’s a Wonderful Life” musical – From Paul McCartney | News | You Gave Me The Answer – 23 Questions for 2023: “Musicals are difficult things to put together, but I think it may be shaping up at last. So, hopefully you’ll get to hear the songs.” However, a December 2024 report by the Daily Mail indicates the project is on hold.
