Paul McCartney to play First Niagara Center on Oct. 22 - Buffalo.com
It will be the first time McCartney will play in Western New York. The show is destined to become one of the most memorable concerts in Western New York in the rock ’n’ roll era. “He is going to create a frenzy like we have never seen before in Buffalo,” Mayor Byron W. Brown said Tuesday morning during a news conference at (716) Food and Sport, which was decked out with a red carpet, English guards and Mini-Coopers... McCartney has never played a show in Buffalo as either a member of the Beatles or as a solo artist. Several generations of his fans living in Western New York have had to travel to Toronto or New York in order to see and hear him in concert. They’ve also had to endure torturous rumors, including one in 2013 that had McCartney playing Ralph Wilson Stadium, in what turned out to be a social media hoax. It has included shows in Europe, Asia and South America, as well as North American cities including Boston, Seattle, Austin, New Orleans, Albany, San Francisco, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. The Buffalo concert is one of just five new North American dates for McCartney’s “Out There” tour. Tickets for the First Niagara Center show go on sale 10 a. m. Monday at tickets.
