The Got Back tour was McCartney’s first series of live shows since 2019, and runs from 2022 through 2023. The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the cancellation of the final European leg of his previous tour in 2020.

The setlist for the Got Back tour consists of over 30 songs, including songs by the Beatles and Wings, as well as songs from McCartney’s solo career.

Alias Cactus is used for Paul McCartney type, with either Akzidenz Grotesk or Glaser Stencil, and various secondary typefaces depending on the venue. Cactus is also used for headline type for the Tour programme.
