Paul McCartney whips up more 'Up and Coming' arena shows

Paul McCartney, who earlier this week revealed the first two North American stops on his 2010 "Up and Coming" tour, has tacked a few more shows onto the impending itinerary.

The former Beatle will return to the road beginning with a two-night stand March 28-29 in Glendale, AZ, performances that will be his first in that state since 2005. Since last check, four new dates have been confirmed, including a second night at LA's Hollywood Bowl (3/30-3/31), which he hasn't played since 1993.

McCartney first appeared at the Hollywood Bowl when The Beatles performed there in August of 1964, and again in 1965. Those shows were recorded for a live album that didn't surface until 1977.

The legendary performer will also host concerts in Miami (4/3) and San Juan, Puerto Rico (4/5).

Tickets for most of the new dates go on sale Sunday (2/28) via Ticketmaster.

McCartney's latest shows represent the first few dates on what a press release describes as an "extensive" 2010 road trip, further details of which will be posted at McCartney's website "soon."

The new roadwork will feature a diverse two-hour plus set list, according to a press release. Along with songs from his time with The Beatles and Wings, McCartney will also perform work from his solo career, including the US live premiere of "(I Want To) Come Home," the single which earned him a recent Golden Globe nomination and was featured in the Robert DeNiro movie "Everybody's Fine."

Last year, McCartney spent five weeks on the road during his "Summer Live '09" tour, which included a run of shows at New York's Citi Field Stadium that were recorded for the gold-certified CD/DVD set "Good Evening New York City."
