Australia?

[goldustboi]

I don't suppose there is any word, or if anybody would have any thoughts on when FM are likely to come to Australia? I've just booked an overseas trip for the whole of November and now I'm in a constant state of panic...

[redtulip]

Either November or December is my best guess.

did Mick say perhaps even beginning of 2014 recently?

But Mick did say they could do Glastonbury in 2014, so don't think you're taking LB back that year.

Ah, but Mick is just saying what he wants to happen, hoping it will come true. I suspect he has SN to convince first.

Does a pixelated image posted on Live Nation’s Facebook wall confirm that Fleetwood Mac will be touring Australia in 2013?

So far only North American and European dates have been announced for the band’s world tour – their first since 2009 – but Stevie Nicks recently told Rolling Stone they were planning a whopping 15 shows in Australia this year. Now thanks to the magic of Photoshop and some super sleuthing from forum member liquidtopaz3 it looks likely that Live Nation will be announcing that tour imminently.

The administrator of Live Nation’s Facebook page posted the following pixelated image along with a note reading: “I’ve got some news I’m bursting to tell you, but this is all the boss is letting me share with you. I’ll try to gouge some more info for you tomorrow.” It looks suspiciously like Fleetwood Mac’s new EP Extended Play, dontchya think?

Fleetwood Mac’s aptly titled Extended Play contains three new Lindsey Buckingham tracks – ‘Sad Angel’, ‘It Takes Time’ and ‘Miss Fantasy’ – and a revamped version of ‘Without You’, originally written by Stevie Nicks for the Buckingham Nicks project. It’s the Mac’s first new music since 2003’s Say You Will. “Big, long albums don’t seem to be what everybody wants these days,” Nicks said in a recent Billboard interview. But they haven’t entirely ruled out a full-length follow-up. ”[Let’s] see if the world does want more music from us,” Nicks said. “If we get that feeling, that they do want another 10 songs, we can reassess.”

Fleetwood Mac Australian Tour Dates Expected Very Soon

Written by Marc Zanotti on 22nd May, 2013


A cryptic post on Facebook by touring giants Live Nation has alluded to some exciting news that is likely to do with Fleetwood Mac touring Australia. According to the post Live Nation has some news they’re “bursting” to tell us with more information to be revealed tomorrow.

Along with the vague message is a pixelated image. It appears to be little more than blocks of reds, greys, whites and blacks but a Faster Louder forum member thinks they have deciphered the image. With the help of some photoshopping the image is revealed to be the cover of Fleetwood Mac’s recently released EP, Extended Play.

Last December Fleetwood Mac member Steve Nicks told Rolling Stone that the band’s reunion tour would find its way to Australia for a possible 15 shows:

“If everything goes well, we’ll be in Europe doing festivals this summer… Then we’ll actually tour Europe, which is different than just doing festivals. Then we might do fifteen or so shows in Australia.”

All that’s left is for Live Nation to announce the official dates and ticket sales. Now we play the waiting game…

[DoubtfulMiracle]

I'm very interested to see Live Nation will be the promoter down here. Fleetwood Mac and Stevie have previously always used McManus Entertainment - people might remember that Stevie is (was?) good friends with Andrew McManus, and bought that (pretty rubbish) racehorse together with him. Probably no big deal, but I do find it a bit strange.

But more to the point, hooray for a seemingly imminent announcement on tour dates!

Fleetwood Mac

It’s been five years since they last played in Aus and we want them back, dammit! Those bluesy-pop melodies and catchy rock tunes, we’re just itching for a sing-song. After cancelling their tour last year and announcing in January that Christine McVie would be rejoining the band, there’s never been a better time.

I still think FM should repent and START their tour in Oz.
I will forgive all.

I'm curious to know why you think the band should repent? They cancelled the tour because John has cancer. That is a perfectly valid reason as far as I'm concerned.
