Its Now Official, Fleetwood Mac To Tour Australia
by Paul Cashmere - August 23 2009
Fleetwood Mac will tour Australia in December.
The Australian leg of the Unleashed tour will start in Melbourne in December 1 and include a winery show in the Hunter Valley on December 5.
This will be Fleetwood Mac’s first Australian tour in 5 years, and with no new album, the setlist is completely greatest hits.
In a phone hook-up with Undercover at the start of the world tour Mick Fleetwood said, “This is the first time we've gone on the road without an album. This is truly a new experience for Fleetwood Mac to go out and play songs that we believe and hope people are going to be familiar with and love."
Australian dates are:
December 1, Melbourne, Rod Laver Arena
December 5, Hunter Valley, Hope Estate Winery
December 7, Sydney, Acer Arena
December 11 and 12, Perth, Me Bank Stadium
December 15, Brisbane, Entertainment Centre

So not sure what happened to the 2nd dates in all of the other major cities. And Perth is actually the smallest of the four
. I suppose they will go ahead depending on sales for the first date, but odd that some pre-sales have already happened for them.
