Did you see them demon????

I did not see Simon and Garfunkel, I must profess I was never a fan (of either of them).

If Fleetwood Mac plays Oz at least, I'll be there.

Bumpity bump!

Checked Ticketek this arvo as I always do and noticed that they now have the Fleetwood Mac waitlist on their home page. Sure, they're saying it's for a potential Australian tour, and the waitlist has probably been available for ages, but I totally squeed anyway. The Nickelback waitlist turned into the real deal (unfortunate but true) after a month or so on the home page so my fingers are crossed!

In any case, there's little Mac faces on Ticketek - squee worthy I tell you!

Yes, see the ticketmaster story for New Zealand. It says December 29th in New Plymouth Bowl of Brooklands but I am certain it is 19th from someone in the know.

Paul McCartney heads star tour acts heading to Australia

August 09, 2009 12:00am
PAUL McCartney is planning Australian concerts as part of his final world tour next year.

His plan to include Australia in his farewell tour coincides with a decision by other superstars, including Fleetwood Mac and Neil Diamond, to play Down Under this year and in 2010.

British reports say Sir Paul, 67, wants to perform the shows at famous landmarks.

China's Tiananmen Square and Berlin's Checkpoint Charlie are on his wish-list. Several Brazil dates are set for April.

Fleetwood Mac, with frontwoman Stevie Nicks, is strongly tipped to do arena and select winery dates in December.

Winery dates?? I know Mick might do them on his own, but FM? Saints preserve us.

Agreed!

These shows can be risky - they are usually highly priced, the weather can ruin them, acoustics are often difficult and the traffic/parking issues at these places make them a right pain!

It will be inetresting to see if any eventuate. The promoters seem to talk the artists into them. I don't think Stevie will like them - imagine if she has to get up at 8am for an afternoon show?

Couple of questions - do they do any Stevie Nicks solo songs? Is the set list a "greatest hits"? Any rarities?

The only solo song is Stand Back. Yes they did one real rarity during the American portion of the tour.

Hey, I have a question....has anything been said about FM touring in 2010? I totally missed out this year on getting to see them during their tour...and I'm PRAYING that I get another chance next year.....I'm totally out of the loop.

[cristochango]

I know during the say you will tour they did the american tour, went over seas and all that stuff then came back and did some more in america, do you think they will do that again / would that mean we all could have the potential to maybe see them one more time this tour?
