Rod Stewart, Stevie Nicks To Tour North American Arenas In March
January 12, 2011 – Touring | Rock & Pop

By Ariel Watkins


Rod Stewart and Stevie Nicks will come together for the upcoming the Heart and & Soul Tour, a series of North American arena performances scheduled to begin March 20 at the Bank Atlantic Center in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.

Thirteen dates had been confirmed at press time, including visits to such major-markets as New York, Toronto, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Chicago, Detroit, Tampa and Montreal. Stewart and Nicks will play hits from their catalogs, as well as new material.

"We haven't begun rehearsals but I can already tell you this, with Stevie on board our audiences are in store for an evening of pure rock 'n' roll music," Stewart said in a news release. "I'm already thinking about which of my old favorites to bring back and vocally, I think we've both begun thinking about which songs might be great fun and well-suited for a duet or two."

Nicks is touring in support of her forthcoming album, "In: Your Dreams," due May 3. And Stewart is coming off of a series of successful concerts, which included sold-out appearances at Las Vegas' Colosseum At Caesars Palace and a 33-date European tour. In 2010, he released "Fly Me to the Moon…The Great American Songbook, Volume V," which has sold 286,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Tickets for the Heart and & Soul Tour go on sale beginning Jan. 21 through ticketmaster.com. Tickets for the April 1 show in Montreal will be available through evenko.ca and tickets for the April 5 Philadelphia date will be available through comcasttix.com. American Express card members will be given the chance to purchase tickets early on Jan. 17.

Here are the upcoming North American tour dates for Rod Stewart and Stevie Nicks:

March 23: St. Pete Times Forum (Tampa, Fla.)
March 24: Philips Arena (Atlanta)

Jesus Christ, I'm so jealous of all you americans right now :distress:

[RockALittle250]

Confirmation of Stevie's album title, release date and the fact that they will both be performing some new material as well...yay! :blob1::blob2:

It's like a fulminant ejaculatory explosion of new Stevie information- all at once. I'm dizzy.

[Sahara]

I know! What a day this has been :blob1:

Also, this is my new favourite phrase ;)

[PenguinHead]

So "In Your Dreams" is the title!:distress:

I was really hoping for something more creative/inspired...something that didn't include the word "Dreams!" It's so generic, so expected and typical, and I'm so disappointed.

"These Dreams" was a song Bernie Taupin (Elton John's amazing lyricist) wrote specifically for Stevie. She rejected it and it went to Heart, who had a huge hit with it. I often question the many ill-fated decisions that have been made in Stevie's career. But you can't know a dream until you've known a nightmare...and there have been way too many dream references.

[JohnL]

:woohoo:I get the second date on the tour. Woo hoo...no dropped songs yet. Cant wait!!

[HejiraNYC]

Madison Square Garden? Hm, that's a large space. Wonder if a Stevie/Rod Stewart bill would fill it. Almost sounds more like a summer 'shed' type of show, though I think those sheds are getting bigger and bigger (along with their ticket prices)

Um... Rod plays there (or used to play there) by himself. Now that he's doing rock music again, I think his fans will be crawling back out of the woodwork.

[MacMan]

It's like a fulminant ejaculatory explosion of new Stevie information- all at once. I'm dizzy.

Wow... this is so cool... I'm happy and sad at the same time.. It's a sort of curve ball thrown into this mix... and to be frank, I didn't think it would happen. I can see why Dave Stewart has been kinda quiet... He's likely a little pissed off. But it's nice to see Stevie performing solo in these huge arenas!

[RockAlot]

I know and the Hollywood Bowl! Think I'm there!

[priestofnothing]

Well, Rod lives in West Palm Beach, so I guess it makes sense that they are starting out here in South Florida. I can't believe I'm getting an opening night show here in my hometown!

[DefDumbandBlond]

Closest to me is Madison Square Garden in NYC......aaaaaaagh so close but so far.

[HejiraNYC]

Closest to me is Madison Square Garden in NYC......aaaaaaagh so close but so far.

It amazes how much Stevie and FM seem to neglect the DC area. Philly, NY and Boston get all the love.

[kak125]

they so need to insert a pittsburgh date in there somewhere. we have the new consol energy center that just opened in august so they need to play there!!!!!

[Amlyn]

I was going to go visit my mom in FL in March. She's not far from Ft. Lauderdale...hmmm..And then i could go to the MSG show.

And from what Dave S. says, she is probably going to tour behind her new album later in the year, right?

Ugh, there goes my financial savings new year's resolution.

[LB Freakazoid]

Well - Rod's going to be on Piers Morgan's CNN show on the 27th...
I wonder if he'll talk about this mini tour...

[Sahara]

And from what Dave S. says, she is probably going to tour behind her new album later in the year, right?

There's loads of time for a summer tour, I'd say there's an extremely good chance that she will. The tour with Rod will be over before In Your Dreams even hits the shelves.

[LittleCharmer]

You cheeky Americans, getting all the fun :laugh:

Can't wait to see the threads when these shows happen though. Eek!

I think Stevie needs to join up with Dave for a UK tour :nod:

I KNOW! What the hell? The nosebleed section is almost 200$ and closest to the stage is $700! :eek::eek::eek:

I love Stevie to death but if I would have to sit through Rod Stewart and risk turning into a rod, I'm not paying 700$ for a good seat. :eek:

I was worried at first (about the limited dates and her not touring on her own), but I think you're right. It's probably one of the reasons the album release got pushed back to May 3 also. This appears to be just like what she did with Henley with "Two Voices". She can also promote her new album this way by singing at least one of the new songs.

As for me, the closest show is Hollywood Bowl, which being in LA it would be hard to get decent seats for considering all the industry people likely to be there. So I think Im gonna wait until she does her own shows.

Thanks for helping me to re-assure myself!! :D

Keep in mind that those tickets are from a broker, so they will naturally be an arm and a leg. How the broker is already selling tickets is beyond me...

Once the tickets go on sale on Ticketmaster, I'm sure they will be much, much lower.

[SuiteShangriLa]

yeah but its a ticket broker site. i just came acroos it and thought id post.

Ah, I should have read more into the site, I didn't even realize that.

[APerfectLie]

And once again, no Texas dates. Le sigh... I think this concert will actually kick some ass with Rod playing his old stuff AND Stevie playing some new stuff.

[LittleCharmer]

Love it :lol:

Can't let Stevie have all the attention, can we :D

[louielouie2000]

And once again, no Texas dates. Le sigh... I think this concert will actually kick some ass with Rod playing his old stuff AND Stevie playing some new stuff.

I'm guessing there will be a solo Stevie tour this summer. She'll come to Texas then. Perhaps we can convince Anthony to come hang out and go see Stevie Texas style! :D

I'm inviting myself.

Yeah, nothing on the west coast north of LA either. Which I'm happy about-- I can't be tempted to blow hundreds of dollars on freakin' ROD STEWART. :thumbsup:

[Musicman408]

This is tons of info at once- my brain is kind of dead. I'm hoping for a solo summer tour because I won't be seeing Stevie with Rod. The album title is kind of blah, but maybe she'll really embrace the whole "In Your Dreams" as a figment of someone continually showing up in your dreams.... as opposed to the sarcastic type term.

[Musicman408]

I'm guessing there will be a solo Stevie tour this summer. She'll come to Texas then. Perhaps we can convince Anthony to come hang out and go see Stevie Texas style! :D

BTW, if I didn't live so far from Texas, I'd totally have to be there!

Why did I say so far from Texas... I'm a Stevie fan dang it- Too Far From Texas!;)

[APerfectLie]

I'm guessing there will be a solo Stevie tour this summer. She'll come to Texas then. Perhaps we can convince Anthony to come hang out and go see Stevie Texas style! :D

There better be some damn Texas dates then! And I am still crossing my fingers for an Austin date at that. And Anthony better bring his ass.

I'm inviting myself.

Who cares if you live too far from Texas? Come anyway!

Dani... of course you're coming, you're my SPOUSE! :D I just mentioned Anthony because he and John have a whole bromance thing going on ;). And Ethan and anyone else... if Stevie comes to Texas, come on down! Especially if Stevie hits Austin (which I'm sure she will NOT), I'll show my Stevie family the best Southern Hospitality I can muster! :wavey:

Hey now, we invite you to our orgies too! And Chris!

[gypsy4life]

Closest date to me is Chicago (4.5 hour drive) and I would rather spend this kind of money on solo Stevie. Does anyone think she'd put this album out and not do a solo tour? I will die if I miss out.

I just can't see her NOT touring the new album. Thoughts??

[Troddew]

Cheapest tix $175 for the rafters?! :eek:

NO ****ING **** LOUIE!!!!!! - I just clicked the link for the Bowl $750 a ticket???? $175 to sit outside. Stevie you have gotten me through many many many rough times since the 70's but come on.:shocked:

She will for sure tour for this album. Mama tours even when she doesn't have an album. I can't see her sitting on her arse and passing up all the money by not touring behind this album!

Those are broker prices. Normal tickets obtained through Ticketmaster will be much, much cheaper.

Exactly what I thought, just had a moment of panic! I guess it's all the Stevie-overload tonight!

I mean, I will go to Chicago, if need be, for a solo Stevie tour...but, I cannot do both, and I'd rather get ALL Stevie.

Louisville, Kentucky is like 45 minutes away for me, and they just built a brand new arena there (the KFC YUM center). The Eagles were the first act to play there, and that was a few months ago. MAYBE Stevie will come there!!

[HejiraNYC]

She will for sure tour for this album. Mama tours even when she doesn't have an album. I can't see her sitting on her arse and passing up all the money by not touring behind this album!

Sure she'll tour... but the thing that gets me excited is the possibility that she will duet with Rod on one or two of his songs. That would be a once-in-a-lifetime thing to witness.

Holy Crap- I DID NOT even think about that!!!

I would probably piss my pants for all the right reasons! :laugh:

I've always traveled to see Stevie/the Mac, so if she were to come to my hometown, it would be the coolest thing ever.

[APerfectLie]

Agreed! I listen to some of her duets with Don on the Two Voices tour and I wish I had seen one of those shows soo bad. I think Hotel California, New York Minute, and Last Worthless Evening would have been beautifully chilling to hear live. Who knows what songs she will sing with Rod, but hearing them both do Maggie May, The First Cut Is The Deepest, Have You Ever Seen The Rain, Have I Told You Lately, or Forever Young would be life changing.

The Hollywood Bowl is an incredible venue. I saw Fleetwood Mac close the Tusk Tour there way back in 1980!
It's kind of exciting that she is playing this venue. I was hoping to see her in a more intimate setting but the thought of seeing her at the Bowl again is something I cant pass up. If I can get a ticket, I'm there!

[Livia]

I'd love to go to the first show, but it's the Sunday of South by Southwest weekend, damn it! Hollywood Bowl is very tempting...I saw the Thompson Twins there back in the 80s!

Sure! I had just turned 17 when I saw them back in 1980, so I dont remember all that much anymore, except that it was the biggest venue/crowd I had ever seen.
Seeing the Dance tour there would have been sweet but I did catch their 2 shows at Shoreline that October when they did their Bay Area dates.
I think that was the last tour Fleetwood Mac ever played the Hollywood Bowl too.

If this happens, we should meet up before the show.

If there is anything left of us but bits and pieces..lol!

[Dodfather]

So Stevie tours with a British artist and there are so far not even any European dates. Great. Sorry but that completely sucks! It may be Rod I'm more pissed at for this... I can't afford any US travel for as couple of months, have just started working, so I guess I'm waiting for news of her solo tour when I can get the US.

[GypsyWonders92]

Hmm...maybe since this is taking place in March she'll do a summer tour by herself. This could just be to promote the album then the album comes out, people buy it then she goes on her own tour.

[LittleCharmer]

So Stevie tours with a British artist

I completely forgot he was British. Rod, what's your game?! BRING IT ON HOME!

[Lee]

I don't think I'm going to be able to go. They are @ the Wells Fargo Center in Philly on April 5th & that's on a Tuesday. I can get off from work, but hubby probably can't. I've never seen Rod before. I'd like to see this concert tour. :shrug:

I can't find any concert info on-line anywhere as in ticket prices.

Any hope they will make it to Denver??

[FM77]

Any hope they will make it to Denver??

That will be entirely up to the promoter. I suspect this will not be a cheap ticket and there are markets that economically likely won't support the show. It's a win/win for SN though...she gets to play arenas and either stay out with Rod or take the money and go back out with her band to support the new record.

[sodascouts]

I often question the many ill-fated decisions that have been made in Stevie's career.

Who knows, maybe her recording of "These Dreams" wouldn't have been a hit. Some things are not meant to be. Regardless, her career seems to be going pretty well when you compare it to most other classic rock acts. who are playing at fairs and wouldn't conceive of making a new album.

[cliffdweller]

I'd love to go to the first show, but it's the Sunday of South by Southwest weekend, damn it! Hollywood Bowl is very tempting...I saw the Thompson Twins there back in the 80s!

Yeah, that WOULD be awesome. I'm just excited there's a Tampa date! :blob1: And Ft. Lauderdale! Right off the bat too.
