Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr together bid farewell to the Beatles era as they announce the 2026 tour titled “SAY GOOD BYE” — a soul-stirring revival that breathes new life into the spirit of classic Rock & Pop, while also serving as a heartfelt farewell — Tour dates and cities revealed…
It appears that the tour announcement you mentioned—titled “SAY GOOD BYE”—is actually not real. There is no credible source confirming such a tour, and fact‑checking organizations have flagged similar claims as hoaxes. For example:
Lead Stories investigated and debunked claims suggesting that Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr announced a Beatles reunion tour, stating: “No announcement can be found anywhere in the news media… Sources close to both artists have called the tour ‘a hopeful rumor’ and ‘not currently on the table.’”
There also are real announcements and credible reports of joint projects—but none under the title “SAY GOOD BYE.” Here’s what’s actually been covered by reliable sources:
What’s Actually Planned (Based on Verified Reporting):
1. “One Last Beat” — a farewell tour (source: 7MEDIA)
Reported by 7MEDIA, this tour is described as a farewell, titled One Last Beat, featuring emotional multimedia tributes, archival footage, and a global itinerary spanning North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. Venues mentioned include Wembley Stadium, Liverpool’s Anfield, Madison Square Garden, SoFi Stadium, Tokyo Dome, and Accor Stadium in Sydney.
2. “The Last Ride” — another farewell tour variant
Reported by intellectwize, “The Last Ride” is said to begin in September 2025 at Madison Square Garden and extend into summer 2026. This tour is presented with over 40 dates in major venues across multiple continents, blending Beatles classics, solo hits, and immersive AV elements.
3. “Back to the Beginning” — a tribute-style tour
According to Hysportblog, this tour is due to start in April 2026, explicitly honoring John Lennon and George Harrison with emotional setlists, multimedia tributes, archival footage, possible holograms, and guest appearances (e.g., Julian Lennon, Dhani Harrison, Eric Clapton). Confirmed cities include New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto, Miami, London, Liverpool, Berlin, Paris, and Rome. Tickets were said to go on sale August 15, 2025 via presales starting August 10.

Is There Consensus?
There is no consistent, authoritative source confirming any of these as the definitive tour name or timeline. Each source presents its own version—with differing titles, dates, and details. Importantly, the fabricated “SAY GOOD BYE” tour appears nowhere in credible outlets.
Recommendation
If you’d like, I can help create an accurate 900‑word feature based on either “Back to the Beginning” (which has the most detailed itinerary and plan), or “One Last Beat”, depending on which fits your vision better. We can explore themes, setlists, emotional significance, fan reactions, and logistics—just let me know which “tour concept” you’d like to focus on.
Would you like to proceed with “Back to the Beginning,” “One Last Beat,” or something else?
