Golf Costa Adeje to welcome McCartney and Clapton?

Keen golfers in Tenerife have long appreciated the fantastic setting of the Golf Costa Adeje course, rolling fairways that run down to the sea, plus palm trees and old stone walls, make it the perfect venue for a big gathering. It looks like this Decemeber 6 could herald A Wonderful Christmas Time, as musical legend Paul McCartney performs a selection from his decades of songs. If that wasn’t tempting enough, talks are already underway to welcome Eric Clapton for another mega concert in April 2009.

The amphitheatre like driving range was the venue on January 24 for a concert by Sir Elton John, and it proved to be a huge musical success. Local company Canarias Live Sun Festival were behind that event and are also organising the Paul McCartney date and are close to finalising details. For the  Elton John concert the golf course became a 20,000 capacity showground and although there were some problems getting all the fans to their alloted places, it was the first such event and lessons will no doubt have been learned.

The golf course suffered very little, due to good preperation and covering of key areas, and there is no reason why these big concerts can’t become regular events. The artists are being carefully selected to appeal to a wide audience of all nationalities, the former Beatle would certainly pack them in, as would guitar hero Eric Clapton. More news will be posted here as details become confirmed.
