Meanwhile, Fleetwood Mac are heading this way during the summer - but final dates and venues were not known before going to print. TimeOut has an interview scheduled this week with the band's guitarist and pop genius, Lindsey Buckingham, to talk about the tour. So watch this space. The band, currently made up of Buckingham, singer Stevie Nicks, drummer Mick Fleetwood and bass player John McVie, have just finished an American tour, are about to start a European jaunt, and it is understood they will then head down under. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/entertainm...ectid=10591760 |

My friend Will is a reporter down in the Queenstown area, and said he heard the possibility of 2 dates here in New Zealand.

obviously she isnt and all the band are coming to Nz the press down here are saying Bowl of Broolyn 19.12.09 to play one show, but I can't belive that the MAC would only play one show in NZ they have not played here since the 1979/1980 tour.

Hmmm lets wait to see what Lindsey has to say in the herald interview. I can't see them doing the Bowl, but thats just my opinion.

The Bowl of Brooklands is the PERFECT venue for Fleetwood Mac! Google image search for it, it's an incredible place. I think they could well play the bowl and obviously Auckland too.

They're doing australia in december and I think the tickets go on sale in a couple of days. Brisbane's paper is going to run the dates tomorrow or sunday so I can only guess that the others will be doing the same.

No rumour: Fleetwood Mac heading to Bowl
By FELICITY ROOKES - Taranaki Daily News Last updated 05:00 22/08/2009
A Fleetwood Mac concert for New Plymouth was confirmed yesterday and for the first time at the Bowl of Brooklands fans will be close enough to see the perspiration on the performers' faces. The veteran British band is hitting Taranaki on December 19 and the TSB Bowl of Brooklands is the only venue in New Zealand it will play. And the controversial 1000-seat lake platform will be ready in time for the concert. Confirming the gig yesterday, New Plymouth District Council manager of business developments and events Garry Sharpe-Young said Fleetwood Mac was the concert of the year. "They are one of the top 10 selling bands in the world," he said. "Fleetwood Mac covers a broad range of people, everyone knows their songs." Mr Sharpe-Young says securing the band is a major coup for New Plymouth. "This is an A-list band and we are the only place in New Zealand that has them. "All the major centres wanted Fleetwood Mac and I think it has a lot to do with the venue." He says you have to be able to offer something different, something unique and that's what the Bowl is. As with Cliff Richard and The Shadows, the new platform seating over the lake was a deciding factor for Fleetwood Mac. "Artists like to get intimate with the audience," Mr Sharpe-Young said. "We have taken note of what artists have said and are maximising the venue." People on platform seating must be aware that if they wish to dance they must stand next to their seat and not all go to the front. The platform has been designed to be removed so cannot bear too much weight all on one side. Mr Sharpe-Young says extra flights will be put on to New Plymouth to meet the demand of out-of-town concert goers. Fleetwood Mac has not performed in New Zealand since 1980 when it played in Auckland and Wellington, attracting more than 80,000 people. Singer Stevie Nicks performed at the Bowl in March 2006 in a double billing with John Farnham. Fleetwood Mac is in its golden years, performing for more than 40 years. The band is touring the world with New Zealand one of the final stops. It is made up of Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks, drummer Mick Fleetwood and the bass player John McVie, for whom, together, the band is named. There is no new album to promote but at a concert at Madison Square Gardens in March guitarist Buckingham hinted there might be one in the works. Fleetwood Mac has sold more than 50 million albums worldwide and its 1977 album Rumours stayed at number one on the US charts for 31 weeks. But what Fleetwood Mac fans want is the oldies, Dreams, Don't Stop, Go Your Own Way, Gypsy, Little Lies, Landslide and Rhiannon to name a few. Word is that during the tour the band is sticking closely to its 1975 self-titled album, the first to feature the Buckingham-Nicks combo, and its follow-up two years later, Rumours, one of the biggest-selling albums of all time. Ad Feedback TSB CUSTOMERS TO GET FIRST TICKETS FIRST dibs on tickets to Fleetwood Mac's December concert will go to TSB Bank customers.

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/ar...ectid=10592485 Fleetwood Mac heading to NZ 12:46PM Saturday Aug 22, 2009 Fleetwood Mac are promising to play all the songs which made them famous when they return to New Zealand for the first time in nearly 30 years. The band have confirmed they will play a one-off, two-hour set at the Bowl of Brooklands in New Plymouth on December 29 following the success of their 55-city North American tour. The band said the tour had been enjoyable enough to add a two month stint through Europe and on to Australia and New Zealand. "We're so happy to be back out on the road, where we'll perform everyone's favourite songs and see all our New Zealand fans," the band said. Promoter Andrew McManus said the concert would be a "celebration of all the greatest hits" from the band, including Rhiannon, Dreams, The Chain, Tusk and Go Your Own Way. - NZPA |
