# Freshen Up (tour)

Freshen Up was a concert tour by English musician Paul McCartney that commenced on 17 September 2018 with a four-concert leg in Canada. The tour was McCartney's first tour after the release of his album Egypt Station, which was released on 7 September. As with McCartney's other concert tours as a solo artist, the setlist for the Freshen Up tour was composed of songs by his former bands the Beatles and Wings, as well as songs from his solo career.
Prior to the announcement of the tour, McCartney revealed he would headline the 17th Austin City Limits Music Festival at Zilker Park, in October 2018. In November 2019, the tour was extended into the following year, to include McCartney's first concerts in Italy since his Out There tour. In the end, the tour was performed across venues in North America, Japan, Europe, and South America. A headlining appearance at the 2020 Glastonbury Festival was to be the final concert of the tour; however, it was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which later led to the cancelation of all the concerts scheduled for 2020.
