Tribute Band Tour Confusion

[secret love]

Just googled "Fleetwood Mac 2014 tour dates", this was one of the results:

States that the tour begins in New Jersey, USA this year on September 13. What's your verdict Ledgies, true or false?

[iamnotafraid]

I think that's a Flanagan.

Um Why would they only have 1 tour date?

When I Click on it, it brings up Tusk - Tribute To Fleetwood Mac

I'm Sorry to confirm this, but this is not Fleetwood Mac starting their tour in NJ on Sep 13

These people are trying to pass themselves off as FM...You don't find out it's a tribute band until you pull the seating chart up and try to buy tickets ( orchestra seating is $450.00 )...I'm sure Mick would love to know about this..

With rehearsals starting late summer, the (real FM) tour will likely start later than Sept. Likely Oct.

in which case, the tour probably begins in Australia/New Zealand. You heard it here first.

Yup. That's what I've been thinking too. Either start here or, as 2009 and 13, Europe in October and then here, US in 2015. They usually play here late in the year when it's warm. Plus, it would be great if they started here after having to cancel last time. I had tickets and, like so many others, was gutted. Of course the cancellations were understandable though - don't get me wrong!

LB said summer. Mick and SN said fall. i'm going with september - the only month that falls into both summer and fall.

if they start rehearsing in august they can have almost 2 months till the end of sept. how much do they need? they rehearsed only what? a month? last year. and we know they'll barely change any songs from the last tour, the only ones they need to rehearse is 5-6 of Christine's they'll add.

When I did a search on Fleetwood Mac, this came up...

One date in NJ. Is this legitimate? Can a Philly date be close behind?

This is a tribute band.

I'm really irked that even hardcore fans are being fooled by this shenanigan.

I think the band especially Mick would love to know about this because you are led to believe that it is the "Real Fleetwood Mac" until you look at the seating chart...With all the trademarks and copyrights the band holds you would think the name "Fleetwood Mac Tours" must be an infringement on something...

[Lee]

Well, that is just wrong. And who would pay that much to see a tribute band?
