This show will be the first time McCartney has played in Colorado in 15 years, since his record-breaking show in 2010. That show sold out the Pepsi Center, now known as Ball Arena. 

In addition to his contributions to musical history, McCartney holds 32 No. 1 singles, is a member of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and holds a knighthood.

The projection mapping event at Union Station coincides with the Denver Month of Video, an annual celebration of experimental art. After checking out the Paul McCartney display, be sure to explore all of the projections around Downtown Denver, including the iconic D&F Clock Tower.
