Paul McCartney Opens TD Coliseum in Hamilton With a Marathon Set of Hits

The 83-year-old music legend played for nearly three hours with songs throughout his discography with the Beatles, Wings and his solo career, while showing off the audio-visual capabilities of the transformed arena.

The hard hats came off for the first official concert at TD Coliseum in Hamilton, Ontario on Friday night (Nov. 21) — and it started with a bang.

The first show at the former Copps Coliseum and FirstOntario Centre arena since its nearly $300 million transformation by American sports and live entertainment company Oak View Group was one of the most prominent music legends still playing today: Sir Paul McCartney. That's a big flex for a venue aiming to prove itself as both a relief valve for the red-hot Toronto live music touring market and a destination in its own right, as well as Oak View Group's new flagship venue in Canada.
