Rod Stewart, Stevie Nicks To Tour North American Arenas In March
January 12, 2011 – Touring | Rock & Pop

By Ariel Watkins


Rod Stewart and Stevie Nicks will come together for the upcoming the Heart and & Soul Tour, a series of North American arena performances scheduled to begin March 20 at the Bank Atlantic Center in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.

Thirteen dates had been confirmed at press time, including visits to such major-markets as New York, Toronto, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Chicago, Detroit, Tampa and Montreal. Stewart and Nicks will play hits from their catalogs, as well as new material.

"We haven't begun rehearsals but I can already tell you this, with Stevie on board our audiences are in store for an evening of pure rock 'n' roll music," Stewart said in a news release. "I'm already thinking about which of my old favorites to bring back and vocally, I think we've both begun thinking about which songs might be great fun and well-suited for a duet or two."

Nicks is touring in support of her forthcoming album, "In: Your Dreams," due May 3. And Stewart is coming off of a series of successful concerts, which included sold-out appearances at Las Vegas' Colosseum At Caesars Palace and a 33-date European tour. In 2010, he released "Fly Me to the Moon…The Great American Songbook, Volume V," which has sold 286,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Tickets for the Heart and & Soul Tour go on sale beginning Jan. 21 through ticketmaster.com. Tickets for the April 1 show in Montreal will be available through evenko.ca and tickets for the April 5 Philadelphia date will be available through comcasttix.com. American Express card members will be given the chance to purchase tickets early on Jan. 17.

It's like a fulminant ejaculatory explosion of new Stevie information- all at once. I'm dizzy.

I know! What a day this has been

Also, this is my new favourite phrase

[PenguinHead]

So "In Your Dreams" is the title!

I was really hoping for something more creative/inspired...something that didn't include the word "Dreams!" It's so generic, so expected and typical, and I'm so disappointed.

"These Dreams" was a song Bernie Taupin (Elton John's amazing lyricist) wrote specifically for Stevie. She rejected it and it went to Heart, who had a huge hit with it. I often question the many ill-fated decisions that have been made in Stevie's career. But you can't know a dream until you've known a nightmare...and there have been way too many dream references.

I get the second date on the tour. Woo hoo...no dropped songs yet. Cant wait!!

Um... Rod plays there (or used to play there) by himself. Now that he's doing rock music again, I think his fans will be crawling back out of the woodwork.

Wow... this is so cool... I'm happy and sad at the same time.. It's a sort of curve ball thrown into this mix... and to be frank, I didn't think it would happen. I can see why Dave Stewart has been kinda quiet... He's likely a little pissed off. But it's nice to see Stevie performing solo in these huge arenas!

[RockAlot]

I know and the Hollywood Bowl! Think I'm there!

[priestofnothing]

Well, Rod lives in West Palm Beach, so I guess it makes sense that they are starting out here in South Florida. I can't believe I'm getting an opening night show here in my hometown!

It amazes how much Stevie and FM seem to neglect the DC area. Philly, NY and Boston get all the love.
