Paul McCartney at the O2 Arena: Beatles legend brings festive vibes to London with performance of Wonderful Christmastime

Wrapping up his 2024 Got Back tour in the capital this week at the O2 Arena Paul McCartney had London fans in the holiday spirit with a rendition of his classic festive tune Wonderful Christmastime.

For his first night of two at the North Greenwich venue, the mood was right and spirits were up and that was enough for McCartney to perform the classic track. With Christmas a week away, it is the season after all!

The North Greenwich venue is set to host McCartney for two shows this week. The first was yesterday (December 18) and he’ll return again tonight (December 19).

For the song the O2 stage screens had a Christmas tree themed display with some elves even seen appearing on stage in the background. A choir of children soon joined McCartney for the chorus with white confetti mimicking snow falling ending the performance.

Yesterday was not the only time the hitmaker performed the track on his latest sting of shows. He also surprised fans in Manchester at the start of the week.

Before diving into the tune at the time he said: “All right, seeing as the season’s coming around, we’ve got a little surprise for you. Are we ready?”

His shows at the O2 Arena this week will see him return to the venue’s stage after six years. He last helmed shows at the famous capital venue in 2018 as part of his Freshen Up tour.
