Fleetwood Mac to Debut New Lineup at iHeartRadio Music Festival - Sept 21 and 22
The iHeartRadio Music Festival, to be held September 21 and 22 at Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena, has added Fleetwood Mac to a lineup that includes Justin Timberlake, Carrie Underwood, Mariah Carey, Imagine Dragons, Jason Aldean, Sam Smith, Luke Bryan, Kelly Clarkson, Shawn Mendes, Rae Sremmurd and Logic, among many more. The two-day event will be hosted by Ryan Seacrest.
It will be Fleetwood Mac’s first time performing with new band members Mike Campbell and Neil Finn, and the group’s debut performance at the festival, which is geared at the broad audience listening to iHeartMedia’s over 800 radio stations. The announcement arrives ahead of a tour that kicks off in October. Member Lindsey Buckingham left the group in April. It was announced that former Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers guitarist Campbell and Crowded House singer Finn would fill in for Buckingham. The iHeartRadio festival has traditionally included a veteran act on its lineup. In previous years, Aerosmith, Queen + Adam Lambert and Billy Idol have held that slot. This year, Lynyrd Skynyrd will also be featured. “It is an honor to be performing at the iHeartRadio Music Festival for our very first time,” said Stevie Nicks. “The beauty of an event like this is that it is a true representation of the power of radio. It’s an opportunity for artists across all genres to share one stage and what we all love most — music!” The iHeartRadio Music Festival will be broadcast live across the iHeartMedia network to more than 150 markets and on the CW Network’s CWTV.com and The CW App. A two-night television special is scheduled for Oct. 7 and Oct. 8. The 2018 iHeartRadio Music Festival is co-produced by John Sykes and Tom Poleman. https://variety.com/2018/music/news/...842261/http:// |
SWEET! I am so looking forward to hearing how they sound. I suppose they will do a classic song...but it would be so great if they would perform something new and a classic. Crossing fingers...

everyone said he didn't look at Stevie and how wrong that was, that was the "hissy fit". but everyone said his performance was his usual 200%. something that cannot be said for every other member of that 5. that's why they have to play iheartradio thingy now. that's one thing they CAN say they'd never do if LB was still in the band. |

i shared the news i stumbled upon, which belonged here; i'll know better next time, obviously petty fights are all some people are interested in. :nod: |
Clever strategy there, to present the line-up at such an occasion as this, where the presentation can be very short, and the result can be embedded in the general hoopla and sound.

LOL!
Sam Smith is playing the same night. In case you forgot, he got sued by Tom Petty because “Stay With Me” was too much like “I Won’t Back Down.” Better still, Jason Aldean is playing that night, too. He did the cold open on Saturday Night Live after the Vegas shootings, which was the same week Tom died, and played “I Won’t Back Down.” Sam Smith was the musical guest that night. Poor Sam can’t catch a break. |
