Will there be a European leg?
 

If so when do you guys think it will be announced?

I have really no idea, but maybe the band and the promoters first want to see how the tour works out in the US. Maybe they'll wait until they know if there is a market for more tour-dates in the US. I would think that right now organizing an european tour FM is a risk, neither Mike Campbell nor Neil Finn are that well known here. It could depend on concert reviews and sales in the US. AND Stevie wants to work solo again, so there is not much time for an European tour.

My guess is that they will not tour in Europe this time, because they would have difficulites to find an audience that wants to see them with the new guys, but that is only my opinion.

I don’t think they will tour Europe this time.

I last saw them in 2015 in Leeds.
I wouldn’t go if they do tour, I think they are a faded band.
It’s a memory I want to treasure not ruin.

Oh wow that's the worst news I've heard all year. :'(

I'm so excited about the new line up, I really wanted to see them....
oh well...

But that is not news, that's just speculation. Like I wrote, I haveno idea what is going to happen. Right now FM is a wild card.

ITA! I would not see them again because of that exact reason. I saw them in Cologne in 2015 and other than Christines return, they already tarnished my memory of the fantastic concert I saw in 2013 because they weren't inspired, Stevie was bored/unprofessional/upset and there was alot of negativity between her and Lindsey. I can not let another lackluster concert ruin the memory of that perfect evening in 2013.

That's true! Fingers crossed :)

I don’t know about Europe, but I’d be surprised if they didn’t do an Australia/New Zealand leg.

Good point. They may not want to throw money behind both. Too much of a risk. Although, I think they could at least do well in London?

You guys are kidding yourself and make me laugh :)
There will definitely be a European tour after the American tour. No need to announce it yet since the American tour goes well into 2019. There will also be an Australian tour.
After all this drama and "new band" they will definitely have a very long world tour. Its my opinion its probably the last gasp of Fleetwood Mac.
To answer the original question, the next leg will be announced spring 2019.

More like "last grasp."

I don't see why not. They should and probably will do a few dates in Euro and Australia. They have fans there.

But not Germany. And we know who to blame.

Steve,

I don't even have to watch that video to know
what Buford T. Justice said about those Germans.

Yes there will be both a European and Antipodean leg, I'm sure.
Mick needs to squeeze out every last possible penny while he's got the chance because after this, that's it.... back to being a restauranteur and Rick Vito's side man for his final years.

Only if the band deems it sufficiently profitable. If they don't think there's enough interest to generate a wide enough profit margin, they won't go. From what I understand, there are a lot of additional expenses when touring Europe, and people overseas aren't as keen to pay the kind of prices Americans have come to accept for "VIP experiences." Less money to be made.

Surely there will be enough interest in Australia, though, since everyone keeps telling me Finn is a big deal Down Under.

I also thought I read/heard that Stevie has solo commitments mid-late 2019. I think that came out when they were claiming Lindsey wanted to push the FM tour off until 2019. Since the band is now walking away from that, no way of knowing if it’s actually true

I would be shocked if they didn't tour down under. And if this is a farewell tour, I'd be shocked about not going to Europe. Certainly, sales can't be that bad?

It looks as if the additional meet & greet income alone would be enough to keep his restaurant afloat for another couple of years.

Ha! I wonder who would pay for that. Interesting to see if that sells.

Cant speak for the rest of Europe or 'down under' but in the UK I think there'd be less people bothered by the Lindsey Buckingham fiasco so I think ticket sales would again be really healthy (they always have been here for the past few tours). I can't see them not making a mint from a visit to the UK.

The World is full of idiots and people with more money than sense.

If I remember correctly, they did quite well with Billy and Rick in Europe.
I personally really enjoyed that show.

It's really subjective though. So just because you think it's idiotic or a poor use of money, doesn't make that true for someone else.

Other people can afford to drop $600 on this. Not me and clearly not you, but others.

A new word (for me).

And it's a great word , very commonly used....better than Australasian as people get that confused with Australian

Another new word.

BINGO

Everyday is a school day ;)

I got a giggle from the phrase "antipodean leg" (the "pod" in antipode means "foot").

Okay, I'll re-phrase that...
Paying $600 to meet somebody and get their photograph (on top of the price of a ticket which could be about the same) is an idiotic action.

I don't want to call people idiots, but this is a place to express an opinion and in my opinion paying that sort of money is idiotic. Indeed, I'd never want to meet anyone who charged me for the privilege of doing so. Therefore, lets just say the action of doing that is idiotic.
Yes, I can afford it. But I'd rather not, thanks.

I doubted it ever since they announced this tour with Mike ad Neil.

So I ought a concertticket rightaway and 'll fly to New York from Holland in march to see this tour.

If they'll tour Europe, I think it'll be announced end of the year.

Average price will be around 100 euro's (106 dollars) for General Admission (I paid that in 2015) and then you'll be upfront if you're early at te venue. Although The Stones charged me 200 euro's last year).

Yes, but that was at their height with Tango in the Night and in the slipstream BTM.

Any news on a European leg?

Preach! Hahaha. I sat next to a bunch of really friendly first timers at United Center and the couple on the side of me spoke to me at length after the show to ask what I thought. (Trying to our into words what was missing without LB was HARD. But these folks were happy with the show while I was feeling the lack of Lindsey ache). Anyway the guy then says something to me about how it’s just a six month tour and I’m like “Noooot a chance. They’ll extend this. Mick is massively money hungry and terrible at managing his money.” :lol:

Trying to explain to more casual fans how I love this band, am simultaneously mad them, and have mad respect for their music but can real talk about them all as actual people was... an experience. But I’m so glad I’m amongst my people here. Haha.

I’m still giggling too that while United Center was dang near close to sold out TicketMaster was still pushing the Mick Fleetwood meet and greet package even on resale tickets. Guess that’s not going over too well.

First two shows seem to have filled in well. It's early yet, but I hope you folks across the pond that are keeping your fingers crossed get some joy. :nod:

I'm really torn. If they come here I really don't want to go. At the same time its like rubber necking at a crash site. I really don't want to look but can't stop myself.
I really hope Lindsey comes here. I think that might be a pipe dream but I would really love to go and see him. If anyone's been to LB m&G's- has he suggested what the future might be for his tour?

Thank you that's sweet of you to say :)

Why doesn't the Tango deluxe box contain the 1987 Fresno radio concert?
