Paul McCartney just announced a Chicago date for his summer One On One tour. He'll be playing the Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre in Tinley Park on July 25.

Chicago has been lucky enough to see McCartney play the area a few times in recent years—at Wrigley Field in 2011, at the United Center in 2014, and as a headliner at Lollapalooza in 2015. We've seen most of those shows, so take our advice when we say these are tickets you are going to want.

A McCartney concert at this point means you'll be treated to a set that spans his entire catalog, and his longtime touring band always leaves jaws on the floor with their lean flexibility. His shows can offer the pristine touch to a delicate ballad like the Beatles' "Blackbird," and then the a stadium-sized orchestral wallop to something like Wings' "Live And Let Die."

Also, why would you pass on the chance to see a Beatle?

A Live Nation presale for tickets starts this Friday at 10 a.m., and then tickets go on sale to the general public this Saturday at 10 a.m.
