Expect an announcement any day now for Fleetwood Mac playing the Australian wineries as part of their Unleashed tour.
The Australian and New Zealand tour is set for December and will include the winery shows, Undercover hears.
Current published dates for Fleetwood Mac’s Unleashed tour go through to the European tour in November. Australasia is next.
The Unleashed tour is a greatest hits tour. There is no new music from Fleetwood Mac in the works. In a phone hook-up with Undercover, Lindsey Buckingham said that not having new music on this tour "frees you up to enjoy each other as people. Let’s have a good time and value the friendships and history. It takes the pressure off and allows more fun than we would normally be able to have."
The Fleetwood Mac line-up is Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham, Mick Fleetwood and John McVie. Christine McVie has been out of the band for more than a decade now and happily living the retired life in England. "I’ve been the only girl in Fleetwood Mac since 1998, so I’m used to it now,” Stevie said during the conference all. “But I miss Christine. The loss of Christine as one of my best girlfriends was horrific to me. Not a day goes by that I don’t wish she would call up and say, 'I’m back.' "
Fleetwood Mac Australian dates will be announced this week.

Imminent announcement of dates - awesome. That sounds more certain than the last article.
Persistent talk of winery dates - pretty average.
If they play a couple of wineries in addition to the regular venues in the major markets, that's cool, but if they choose to do only winery shows in certain states at the expense of a regular venue, that's not so cool.
Thankfully, Qld's not overly famous for its wineries, although there is this pesky little one about five minutes down the road from me which some artists seem to be fond of playing.
Wineries just seem far too refined for the Mac. I want indoor loudness!
