Will there be a European leg?

But not Germany. And we know who to blame.

Steve,

I don't even have to watch that video to know
what Buford T. Justice said about those Germans.

Yes there will be both a European and Antipodean leg, I'm sure.
Mick needs to squeeze out every last possible penny while he's got the chance because after this, that's it.... back to being a restauranteur and Rick Vito's side man for his final years.

Only if the band deems it sufficiently profitable. If they don't think there's enough interest to generate a wide enough profit margin, they won't go. From what I understand, there are a lot of additional expenses when touring Europe, and people overseas aren't as keen to pay the kind of prices Americans have come to accept for "VIP experiences." Less money to be made.

Surely there will be enough interest in Australia, though, since everyone keeps telling me Finn is a big deal Down Under.

I also thought I read/heard that Stevie has solo commitments mid-late 2019. I think that came out when they were claiming Lindsey wanted to push the FM tour off until 2019. Since the band is now walking away from that, no way of knowing if it’s actually true

I would be shocked if they didn't tour down under. And if this is a farewell tour, I'd be shocked about not going to Europe. Certainly, sales can't be that bad?

It looks as if the additional meet & greet income alone would be enough to keep his restaurant afloat for another couple of years.

Cant speak for the rest of Europe or 'down under' but in the UK I think there'd be less people bothered by the Lindsey Buckingham fiasco so I think ticket sales would again be really healthy (they always have been here for the past few tours). I can't see them not making a mint from a visit to the UK.

If I remember correctly, they did quite well with Billy and Rick in Europe.
I personally really enjoyed that show.

Average price will be around 100 euro's (106 dollars) for General Admission (I paid that in 2015) and then you'll be upfront if you're early at te venue. Although The Stones charged me 200 euro's last year).

Preach! Hahaha. I sat next to a bunch of really friendly first timers at United Center and the couple on the side of me spoke to me at length after the show to ask what I thought. (Trying to our into words what was missing without LB was HARD. But these folks were happy with the show while I was feeling the lack of Lindsey ache). Anyway the guy then says something to me about how it’s just a six month tour and I’m like “Noooot a chance. They’ll extend this. Mick is massively money hungry and terrible at managing his money.”

Trying to explain to more casual fans how I love this band, am simultaneously mad them, and have mad respect for their music but can real talk about them all as actual people was... an experience. But I’m so glad I’m amongst my people here. Haha.

I’m still giggling too that while United Center was dang near close to sold out TicketMaster was still pushing the Mick Fleetwood meet and greet package even on resale tickets. Guess that’s not going over too well.
