Paul McCartney brings Up and Coming tour to Charlotte

The legendary Sir Paul McCartney is adding dates to his 2010 Up and Coming tour (up and coming? good one, Sir Paul) and for the first time since 2002, a North Carolina city is on his list.

Sir Paul will visit Charlotte's Time Warner Cable Arena (that's the new Bobcats arena to you and me) on Wednesday, July 28. Tickets will go on sale Saturday, June 12, at 10am here.

We were lucky enough to be just yards from the stage for McCartney's show in Atlanta's Piedmont Park last summer and it was a phenomenal experience. As McCartney keeps threatening that each tour will be his last (and really, hasn't he deserved a restful retirement?), if you're a fan of the Beatles, Wings or any of his incarnations over the decades, you simply won't want to miss this show.

Depending on your opinion on Lady Gaga, whose fame has skyrocketed this past year, this news will either be met with a shrug of indifference or an all out joygasm. Gaga loyalists, whom the artist refers to has her little monsters, treat concerts the same was a Star Wars geek would a convention. That is to say, the costumes and garish makeup won't be limited to the stage.

Lady Gaga's latest video, a nine minute Tarantino-inspired collaboration with Beyonce, is after the jump, as well as a complete list of tour dates.
