Is there a mom in your life who’s a big Beatles fan?

If so, then here’s a great gift idea for Mother’s Day:

Paul McCartney tickets.

Having already booked one date at Oakland Arena (on May 6), Sir Paul has now announced plans to perform a second show on May 8 at the same venue.

Tickets for this second Oakland date go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. March 18, ticketmaster.com.

There is also a presale for American Express card members that runs from 10 a.m. March 15 to 10 p.m. March 17.

These shows — McCartney’s first performances in Oakland in 20 years — are part of the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer’s 13-city Got Back tour.

It’s McCartney’s first road show since Freshen Up, a 39-date, 12-country odyssey that wrapped up with a sold-out show at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles in July 2019.

“I said at the end of the last tour that I’d see you next time. I said I was going to get back to you,” McCartney said in the news release. “Well, I got back!”
