FM Touring Europe May/June

[FM77]

Tour is ending 6/30. With the second US leg announced a few weeks ago, this was the last piece. Don't count on extending this through 2016.

No Glastonbury for Fleewood Mac but the band will tour next year


Fleetwood Mac star Mick Fleetwood has categorically ruled out an appearance at Glastonbury Festival - but says the band will tour again next year.

In an interview with Radio 2's Chris Evans, he said the group - loved for their hugely successful 1970s album Rumours, among others - would definitely not be appearing at the Somerset event in the summer.

Glastonbury founder Michael Eavis has already said in the past few days that he has not booked the band for next year.

Fleetwood said today: "One of the things I would like to clear up: we're not playing Glastonbury, and a lot of folks think that we are, so loud and clear that Fleetwood Mac - we love Glastonbury and all the surrounding history of such a lovely festival - but we're not playing it.

"A lot of people that I meet are totally buying tickets for what will be a great show in any case, without Fleetwood Mac. I know that they always have a great headliner, but it won't be us.

"So no bad faith for Glastonbury because it's an incredible festival, I just don't want people thinking we will be playing it, but we are coming next summer."

Speaking about future plans for the group, he said: "We've been obviously on tour in North America and I have had a phone call this morning that I can officially announce that Fleetwood Mac will be touring through May and June in 2015."

That sucks.There was alot of hope that they would play there.

It was a stupid comment to make.
It was extremely ignorant to say 'Europe doesn't even like Stevie'.
It was rude to say 'Screw Europe'.
Its the sort of thing that often gives people around the world a negative view of Americans (I assume you are in America).

Everybody around the world loves Stevie and the Mac.Except for a few.The few dont know what they are missing. If everybody hated Stevie and the Mac .They or her would not even bother touring anymore.

What ever they do .I hope they make their rounds over there for you guys.

Of course he's american, no-one else could be so proud of their own ignorance and selfishness.

For the record, I've lived in two countries that are not the USA and have experienced idiots and ignorant comments aplenty in both. Those phenomena are not unique to Americans, Americans have just had a tendency to be the most visible over the past century. Stupidity/rudeness is a people-in-general thing. You can't let yourself get too bothered.

It's a little hilarious that someone would ever act surprised/outraged that this internationally mega-famous band is touring outside of North America with its most successful lineup on what was always billed as a "world tour". Like, who didn't see that coming? But yeah.

Absolutely. I've visited the States many times and lived in L.A. for 2 years. I've always found most people to be nice, warm, considerate, welcoming and interested to speak with you. Unfortunately there is a small minority that are particularly insular and jingoistic that do not see past their borders and do no favours to their good fellow countrymen and women. I agree its not unique to America, though.

That said, I'd welcome 2 months off to complete the record before the European tour- it would have been great to have them change up the set list and play a few of the new numbers on that leg. Perhaps they'll complete Europe at the end of June and then spend time in the studio with Stevie before an Australasian leg (there's no way they wouldn't go there this time, surely) and return to the US for an album marketing push in late 2015.

Solo time- early 2016.
