Paul McCartney to Play Wrigley Field

Wrigley Field's recent status as a high-ticket outdoor concert destination continues. As expected, Paul McCartney will play the Friendly Confines July 31.

At last week's City Council meeting, 44th Ward Ald. Tom Tunney filed an ordinance on behalf of the Chicago National League Ballclub authorizing concerts at Wrigley Field on July 31 and August 1. Although the July 31 concert is confirmed, Tribune rock music critic Greg Kot believes a second show won't be announced until the first one sells out.

Tickets go on sale for the McCartney show June 20 at tickets.com. (Prices aren't available at this time, but do expect to fork out a good chunk of change.)
