No, no. I think you probably just got confused since you were sleepy - there were a lot of people mentioning same sentence only because both Beyonce and Fleetwood Mac have announced huge World Tours for 2013 right around the same time.

I mentioned I had tickets today at Uni then my friends were talking about Mick on top gear. One friend wasn't sure if she'd heard of them until someone sang one line of go your own way.

It's great that there's a buzz and a vibe around them.

Both Beyonce's and Mac's concerts went on sale today in Holland and I believe Belgium To. I managed To get tickets for The Amsterdam as welk as Antwerpen shows. I happen to live juist about richt in between both cities.

Tickets went fast. I believe both shows are (nearly) sold out. So yes, it looks Like kinds buzz overheen as wel.

I've mentioned this on a couple of other threads, the hype and interest in them is off the scale in the UK!

There was nothing like this interest in 2003 or 2009. I know Mick has done a lot of press and the Rumours re-issues have been released, but I'm still blown away by how popular they seem to be at the moment.

The fact that NME and other mags that usually cater for student types are giving them so much coverage must be helping. I think there'll be a lot of under 30s at these shows.

I'm so glad they are getting the credit they deserve as I've always felt they've been a bit overlooked here given their body of work.

That would be weird. I bet that the guys wouldn't be able to play any songs cause that would be too fixed on Stevie.

See I think they missed out on a golden clam....They were HUGE in 2011 and that was due to Glee. If they had toured then (not that I would have actually wanted that because Stevie's solo album rocked) it would have been a much bigger event. They were everywhere after that episode. Rumours was selling huge numbers again.

Not only the sales, but the younger generation was really into it.

Any of the younger generation who found out about them through Glee and would have been willing to shell out $$$ in 2011 to go see them is probably still interested enough to shell out $$$ to see them today. And I think there's even more buzz than there was in 2011. If they had gone out in 2011 it would have seem rushed and as if it was thrown together simply because there was a slight blip on the popularity radar.

Rumours is still selling in large amounts (which is even more impressive than in 2011, because there's not some pop culture phenomenon that's pushing it to the general public. PLUS the box sets that are selling are a lot more expensive than the $9 or so it would cost to buy the regular album).

Not to mention that Fleetwood Mac was the soundtrack to the most popular Superbowl commercial this year. That's pretty damn good publicity right there. We have the hype of there being at least a few new songs, as well, which we wouldn't have had in 2011.

Their UK tour sold out the day tickets went on sale, did it not? I don't think they're suffering from having waited until 2013 to tour. At all.
