Paul McCartney played a surprise club show Tuesday night in New York at the just under 600-seat Bowery Ballroom.
And then on Wednesday morning at 10 am he announced he was playing there again, confirming rumors circulating for the past 24 hours. Tickets were once again sold only at the Bowery box office.
In town for Saturday Night Live's 50th anniversary special Sunday on NBC, on Tuesday night he performed a condensed 22-song set of what he did on tour last year in 90 minutes.
Tickets went on sale Tuesday at Noon at the Bowery box office and sold out in 30 minutes. Priced at $50, there was a one ticket per person limit.
McCartney's last surprise show in New York was in 2018 in front of 300 people at Grand Central Station in support of his album that year, Egypt Station.
