Lindsey Buckingham has lined up a headlining tour this fall as the Fleetwood Mac singer/guitarist continues to work out distribution details for his next solo album.
Buckingham, who mounted his first solo tour in almost 14 years last spring behind his 2006 release, "Under the Skin," will kick off the fall trek Sept. 7 in Saratoga, CA.
The 27-date outing includes a lengthy West Coast leg through much of September before heading on to the Midwest and eventually ending in the East. Details are included below.
Buckingham's most recent studio set, "Under the Skin" follows 1992's "Out of the Cradle." The singer said he was inspired to get to work on his latest solo effort after reuniting with Fleetwood Mac for 2003's "Say You Will."
The musician told Billboard.com earlier this year that he's planning another solo album for release later this summer, one that he recorded with members of his touring band along with Fleetwood Mac bandmates Mick Fleetwood and John McVie.
The forthcoming album "has a little more of a rock feel to it" than "Under the Skin," Buckingham said. "It's just another group of tunes that hopefully will translate to stage, and hopefully we can get some more [solo] dates this summer." The singer has also told various interviewers in recent months that he hopes Fleetwood Mac will mount a tour behind a new studio album next year.
Earlier this year, Buckingham released "Live at the Bass Performance Hall," a live DVD documenting the musician's performance last year at the Fort Worth, TX, venue. The package is available in a bonus set that includes more than 45 minutes of behind-the-scenes footage, and an accompanying audio CD with the same track listing as the DVD.
