Paul McCartney will return to Philadelphia for the first time in five years.

The former Beatle is scheduled for June 21 at the Wells Fargo Center, according to a news release. The show is the first arena date of his current Out There Tour, which includes stops at the Firefly Music Festival in Dover, Delaware, (June 19) and Lollapalooza in Chicago (July 31).

Tickets for the Philadelphia concert go on sale noon May 1.

The 72-year-old McCartney previously headlined the venue in August 2010. The current trek has McCartney mixing up Beatles classics with songs from his former band Wings and solo material -- including cuts from his 2013 studio album "NEW."

On April 18, McCartney inducted his former Beatle band-mate Ringo Starr into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. HBO will broadcast the ceremony on May 30.
