Paul McCartney has unveiled US dates for June and July arranged around his previously announced festival headline spots at Firefly and Lollapalooza.

Sir Paul will top the Firefly Music Festival on June 19th and from there now plays gigs in Philadelphia, Charlottesville and Columbia before returning at the end of July for Lollapalooza.

Meanwhile, his show at the Nippon Budokan in Japan on April 27th was notable for hosting McCartney’s first ever solo live performance of ‘Another Girl‘, a track taken from the pop-tastic Side A of The Beatles‘ 1965 album ‘Help‘. Some fan footage is on YouTube and can be seen below.

“It was sensational and quite emotional remembering the first time and then experiencing this fantastic audience tonight,” he’s said of the show.

Philadelphia, PA – Wells Fargo Center (21)
Charlottesville, VA – John Paul Jones Arena (23)
