Legendary rockers Rod Stewart & Stevie Nicks have announced plans to reunite this summer and reprise their highly acclaimed, co-headlining “Heart & Soul Tour.”

In a career spanning five decades, Rod Stewart has amassed an estimated 250 million in album and single sales and an incredible 16 Grammy nominations. In April he will join the elite list of artists who are 2x Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees (as a solo artist and soon as a member of the seminal 60s rock band, the Faces). On March 24, he will return to Las Vegas for an 8-concert-run of "The Hits" - part of his immensely popular first residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace.

Stevie Nicks is a multi-Grammy Award Winner as a solo artist and member of the legendary Fleetwood Mac and a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee. Her new CD "In Your Dreams" debuted at No. 6 on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart and has received glowing reviews from numerous outlets, including US Magazine who declared it "the best album of Nicks' four decade career."

Stevie and Rod Back together again..
 

I don't believe it they are actually going back out on the road together. I know both of them said they would love to do it again but I didn't believe it would ever happen..crazy.
Its going to be interesting to see what other cities they stop in... or if they bring the show to Europe?? Here's hoping

Nashville first stop.

This might not be a bad sign- Stevie touring with Rod again in order to beef up her cash reserves so she can go off the road for a while & record again... hopefully with Fleetwood Mac. It'd make sense to do this before going back into studio with the Mac, because they take notoriously long to record their albums. Plus, I don't think either she or Fleetwood Mac are under contract anymore, and may not get a record deal with a big advance offer. So she could be touring with Rod to literally help bank roll future solo or Mac recordings.

Who's hoping that Stevie will put together a new setlist for this tour? It seems like it would make the most sense for her to do a greatest hits set (like last year's H & S tour) but maybe we can hope for a few new additions..

Please say this is an Internet rumor. This sucks. Already had to sit through this once, won't do it again. Stevie as opener with short set then made to be Rod's back up singer, such an insult . Was so looking forward to her summer tour, this stinks !!!

This sucks.Who talk her into this project. The first time around last year through her into a loop and screw her CD release.but if thats what she wants.get ready for a Readers Digest concert set list with songs verses cut with a hefty ticket price..What happen to the Tom Petty rumour.

I'm not knocking Rod.He's a great entertainer,but there is a mismatch here.Tom and Don will fit in with her.I probably will limit my road trip on this tour.

Well we've been waiting for some upcoming news about what she plans on doing this year but this for me was very unexpected.

I agree .I figure she would of hit a couple of shows with Tom P.This is Shocking news.I wonder if these new shows are to go to cities where they did not go to last year.I dont remember if they did hit Nashville last time around.

Good lord...

Of course I will hit the casinos up here if they go to them.

Oh nooo. From what I've seen on Youtube, it was terrible and she did NOT look like she was having fun.

Maybe enough negetive output from her fan base are not happy about this combo tour by sending letters and chatting on Forums,Facebook and Twitter might do some steering to make her think about this.I was not to keen about the first time around last year.

Seriously? Again? :distress:

heres some videos from the last time around.

Well that didn't stop her last time around. I know she loves playing in those big arenas and their concerts were top money makers last year. At the Mohegan Sun show I was impressed with her energy. She really had to 'work it' to get Rod's audience to be affected by her songs and performances. Were you there, Skip?

I hope!

Really wasn't expecting another tour with Rod...

Yes I was there.I almost got hit in the head with the soccer ball that night

A girl right in front of me caught one. She let me hold it for a minute after the show ended.

Oh brother. NOT the news I was expecting.
Here's hoping she does some solo shows after the Rod thing like she did last time.

(No offense Rod, just don't want to spend my hard earned $$ on ya)

I wish I caught the ball for the girl next to me.She was a big Rod fan.


I agree with that one.

GROSS! Rod fans are the worst! They are literally ancient relics.

I hope AT LEAST she keeps her set list the same. I could watch 'Moonlight' and 'Ghosts are Gone' over and over!

Expect a digest concert.for a premium..

Unbelievable
 

Well we all guessed what her next move would be. NO ONE guessed that. Lol

Stevie is a multiple Grammy award winner as a solo artist?? LOL....We can only dream!! :)

I don't want to go see Rod at all... but I don't want to miss Stevie if she comes through town.

CONFLICTED.

ETA: I have to say I don't much see the point in the Rod tour (aside, obviously, to make some $$$). Logically.. I'd say given the demographic, Stevie's not inherently introducing herself/music to anyone new really, most Rod fans would know who Stevie is and for the most part if they were gonna be a Stevie Nicks fan they would be one by now. So it's not as if she's branching out to reach a whole new generation or something... it's just playing for a set of people who aren't your fans.

My first reaction was NOOOOO. Of all the things I was hoping would happen this year, this was dead last. But the only silver lining and what I would imagine Stevie is thinking is she will get to play In Your Dreams songs to a much bigger audience. If she can get 25 rod Stewart fans per concert ot purchase In Your dreams then good for her.

I would imagine she'd play 4 IYD songs, her 4 Fleetwood Mac standards and Edge/Stand Back. Or maybe they'll be a "New" new song from her even newer forthcoming album in the this set.

So "If" this is actually happening her set will obviously be 10/11 songs again. The deciding factor for me going will be if those 10/11 songs are IYD heavy.

More dates are being announced:

Cleveland - July - 20
Cincinnati - July 21
Pittsburgh - July 28

The show at the Hollywood Bowl last year was GREAT energy from not only Stevie and Rod but the fans!!!!! :)

While I do think this is very unexpected and would rather see a solo tour, it's more likely that this tour will come to Europe and so I might finally get to see Stevie solo live so I'll take it!

I think that Stevie probably is paying retainers to her band, so the manager says "play a few dates and that's the retainers dealt with for another 18 months"

Florida August 2nd Airways Center

i am soo excited about the pittsburgh date. stevie hasnt been here since 2005 when she came with henley. i do wish she wasnt touring with rod but i will take any stevie i can get. now if only she would so some new songs since i didnt get to hear them last time around.

Do you mean AZ?

Yuck. I can't believe she's touring with him again! Another tour spoiled by Rod. How about a Stevie only tour? I for one would love for her to tour this summer supporting IYD, AND it would be nice if she would come to Florida. Anywhere in Florida. I would be there.

Are these the cities she missed the last time when they toured.It looks like a limited tour for me this year.I'm not going to pour alot of bucks to see a digest concert.But It would be nice to see her face and hear hear her sing again.

Hopefully they will give her more time this time around.

I just heard Youngstown on July 28

Oh I just got verification Pittsburgh is the 28

The good thing here is .Atlease the tour gets planned a way ahead advanced then her last minute on the fly tour planning.Fans can make their plans for their travels without the headaches making last minute reservations.
