Paul McCartney has announced a new tour of Europe, his first since 2004.

The ex-Beatle's European jaunt begins in Hamburg, Germany on Dec. 2, before five other dates in Germany, Holland, France and Ireland. The tour ends on Dec. 22 at London's O2 Arena.

The 'Good Evening Europe' tour follows McCartney's recent jaunt around the US. Tickets for the seven-date tour are on sale on Monday, Oct. 26.

Sir Paul said, "This is my chance to bring our current show home to where it all began. Starting in Hamburg, ending in London and rocking everywhere in between. I'm very much looking forward to ending the year on a high."

The London date will be McCartney's only UK show of 2009, while the Berlin show on Dec. 3 will be Sir Paul's first concert in the German capital since 1993.

There is speculation the tour could be his last, though no details have been forthcoming from his camp.
