Hi, new member here!

Managed to get tickets for two shows at The O2, May 28th and June 22nd Never seen the band before (although I've seen Peter Green live a couple of times) so can't wait! Up in the gods for both but I'll be happy to just be in the building!

Hi,
Hope you have a good time. Have you been to a concert at the O2 before? To be honest with you, wherever you are at the O2 its still a good experience; sound is good and you always have a good view. For a pretty big venue it feels quite intimate.

So much for the tour ending on June 30th another show added in Manchester.

Why add an extra Manchester date on the 1st July when there are four days (25th -30th) free at the end of June?

I will tell you why.......DO NOT take Mick's or Michael Eavis's words about the Mac not playing a certain festival as gospel.....as my money is on them putting on their wellies and heading down to Somerset during that time slot.
Watch this space!

Why the hell shouldn't they play Glastonbury? They've probably sold out their tickets for the UK dates and they have an available slot for the festival. It would help to sell THOUSANDS more of their albums and it would just make them even more popular in the UK.

There is no excuse and it is frankly stupid. Michael Eavis has said that they're not playing though so I can't see how they would now.

I am so happy that I managed to get tickets. It was a miracle I managed to in 2013 because they sold so fast, but this tour seems to have set a new precedent. I will be very fortunate indeed to have seen them in '03, '09, '13 and now '15 - when I became a proper fan, just after The Dance ended, I never believed I would see them perform live again.

[Dragonfly]

Dammit, just found out they have added a second Manchester date (usually get an email off Live Nation) but the best seats seem to have gone.

I think I'll bide my time now and save up hoping a front block seat comes along nearer the time like I did in 2003. Managed to get three tickets all at the front then.

Spoke to a Bookie today who said they still have them as favourites for Glastonbury which seems odd after Mick's comments - watch this space maybe...??

Interesting- I gather Mick's Facebook page has an error- it lists 22nd and 24th June as 'Bristol' instead of London. Obviously Bristol was typed in instead of London but somebody must have been thinking about Bristol beforehand for some reason.
Bristol is the nearest city to Glastonbury.

We all believe Mick can be a bit dodgy with the truth but I don't think even he would be so adamant about something and then go back on it. For my money they were originally planning on Glastonbury but I bet BST Hyde Park (Saturday 27th June) offered substantially more money.

Mick was asked at a meet and greet earlier in the year about his upcoming book that was just released in October and he acted like he didn't know anything about any such book.

It shows you have to take everything he says with a pinch of salt. I'm not sure what to believe now though regarding the Glastonbury festival.
Its one thing being cagey in front of 30 or so people at a m&g. Its a different thing altogether to labour a big point and lie on a national radio station. He'd effectively be lying to the whole world- surely he isn't that stupid.

Yeah, I've been there tons of times and I'm always amazed by how intimate it feels. Back in 2009 I saw the Nine Inch Nails tour there and was literally at the top right at the back but still felt part of the show.

Re Glastonbury I imagine that they're probably playing it, there's generally an older 'classic rock' headliner one night and they are in the UK at the time.

I go the O2 all the time, as it's less than half an hour from where I live. I saw the Mac show last year with Christine, and I agree there is no poor seating. This year I'm going to see Morissey, and next I'm hoping to see Bonnie Tyler, and of course, Fleetwood Mac. I'm already going to see them in December though, so I'm still debating on whether or not to get those.
