2022 Global Tour???

[SteveMacD]

According to Fleetwood Mac News (https://www.facebook.com/173358559352393/posts/4817720181582851/?d=n):

Interesting... The @HipgnosisSongs Interim Report ending Sept 30, 2021 indicates Fleetwood Mac have a global tour in the works. Hipgnosis Songs owns the song catalogs of Christine McVie's (115 songs) and they also own Lindsey Buckingham’s catelog (174 songs). Could be an interesting 2022!

There's already another thread on this but just in case the Mods don't combine them, this is from Billboard Magazine this past April 2021

Yes Lindsey is back and they are opening with Sara and Stand Back is the first encore.
VIP package includes used kleenex from Mick
You will probably need it because Landslide is going to be amazing with Stevie and Lindsey

Could be a great one. Hope they'll do songs from Dreamers Are Waiting and Wreckless Abandon on the 2022 Mac Tour!

I’d love if they played the song “Wreckless Abandon.” That’s the perfect arena rock song.

My biggest wish is “Sentimental Lady.”

Anything off Dreamers Are Waiting? To the Island or Play With Fire

It's funny because I think Wreckless sounds like Angus Young. But I think Stevie would do good harmony on Wreckless.

I wouldn't want a radio song such as Sentimental played... I'd like Lay It All Down

[UnwindedDreams]

RollingStone is saying FM should do Desert Trip which is Senior Citizen Coachella. Gossip is that Bruce and Plant/Page are being talked to.

I think it's in October. Stevie has a show in September. Maybe it's a festival year for her.

If Lindsey’s back I’m pretty sure Mike won’t be there.

[SteveMacD]

Mick’s been pretty clear that they’re not parting with Mike and Neil and there’s been no indication that Lindsey will be back. If anything, Irving Azoff’s response leads me to believe there’s no chance in hell Lindsey will ever be welcomed back. It’s hard not to notice that there’s been no mention of the Mick-Lindsey lovefest since then.

My gut tells me we’ve seen the last of Fleetwood Mac.

As in the SalesForce concert in San Francisco was their last concert?

I think they'll do Glastonbury, Desert Trip, and maybe Irving's Classic again.

They're too much a moneymaker to have ended in 2019!

RE: My gut tells me we’ve seen the last of Fleetwood Mac.

I think so too, at least not the 5.

Hahahaha
Sorry dear people, but everytime I read "Global" tour, sounds like a big joke for me!
:D:D

If Christine were younger, I'd disagree. I think the end has arrived, except for maybe a couple one offs here and there. They old AF now.

This. I’d also add John’s health, which might be fine for all we know, but it’s been eight years.

I think we would have seen them again by now if there hadn’t been a global pandemic.

For Stevie, it would be poetic to have started in a band in San Francisco and played her final show as a member of a band in San Francisco.

As for the final statement from Fleetwood Mac, the Peter Green show with Mick, Christine, Rick, Neil, Jeremy, and Peter’s Les Paul serves as a great postscript.

They're too much a moneymaker to have ended in 2019!
I think we’re at a point where it’s not up to them anymore. Their age and delays from the pandemic have put this almost entirely out of their control, now.

I think John wasn't up to the Peter Green show, as in the shape he's in. I don't believe Mick that the money wasn't good enough for John to participate. And Christine brought up John likely not doing another tour or something like that in her BBC Radio interview last year.

I still think there will be FM appearances later this year at festivals or venue openings. But it looks like Neil is full steam ahead with Crowded House tour and another CH album. Mike is touring and I think the Knobs are doing another album too.

Stevie seems like she's making a return to her '05-'10 days, touring the oldies.

It would be heaven if Chris did a theater tour.

Those projects wouldn’t impact a hypothetical Fleetwood Mac run of shows. The Knobs album is done and comes out around the start of the tour, which wraps up on June 25 with a one-off on July 23. I think the CH album is done, too, and their tour wraps up on July 3. Fleetwood Mac could conceivably begin doing shows in October.

Still, I’m not optimistic.

Absolutely. Maybe backed by Mick and Rick.

I think Neil wanted CH to play North America though.


Absolutely. Maybe backed by Mick and Rick. I'd like her to be backed by Jimmy Paxson, Rick, and Fed. I think she'd need a keyboardist though so Ricky.

[SteveMacD]

I think Neil wanted CH to play North America though.

He hasn’t booked anything, which suggests he’s taking a wait and see approach. A run of Fleetwood Mac shows would be bigger than a CH tour in the US, and there aren’t many Fleetwood Mac shows left. It would make much more sense to do a CH tour in the USA after Fleetwood Mac wraps up and enjoy the momentum.

Stevie has 3 shows from May to September. I'm guessing she'll add more shows in between.

FM could do Glastonbury 2022 and/or Hyde Park and just run through the set they did in 2019 a few days before the festival. Maybe play some of Irving's new venues towards the end of 2022, which the Eagles are doing this year.

I can't see them doing another tour (even a modern day Stones tour scale of 15 shows) without a new album again.

Unless there's new music, I won't see this lineup again.

[SteveMacD]

I will, if feasible. I’d rather see them and be frustrated with the lack of new music than regret not seeing them, especially Mick, John, and Christine, when they were still here.

And there will be tens of thousands who'll see them as well for top dollar.

I'm guilty of seeing the "no new music" FM tours but for me, the new lineup shouldn't get the luxury of another "no new music" tour if they haven't released new songs.
Totally not Mike, nor Neil's fault.

I'd go for a show without new music if Rick and Billy were there just because I think that would be really exciting. It's only been two years since I've seen Mike and Neil in FM... not too long ago
