Paul McCartney fanatics woke up to a special surprise this morning: Macca will play two concerts in Vancouver next month.

And they aren't in a huge honkin' football stadium!

McCartney will perform at Rogers Arena on April 19 and 20 as part of his One On One tour.

"As with the launch of every new Paul McCartney tour," reads a press release from promoter Live Nation, "One On One promises to unveil a dazzling re-designed set, dozens of classics from the most beloved catalog in popular music, spanning Paul's entire career--as a solo artist, member of Wings and of course as a Beatle—and no shortage of surprises."

The last time Paul McCartney played Vancouver was in November of 2012, when he packed B.C. Place Stadium near the tail end of his 18-country On the Run tour.

That was an awesome gig--a three-hour set featuring 38 songs, the majority stone-cold Beatles classics.

Tickets for the Vancouver show are priced from $39.50 to $295 (plus service charges and fees) and go on sale this Monday (March 14) at 10 am at Ticketmaster.
