What are the odds of one more US tour?

I've already been daydreaming about what the next setlist will be, though it won't be that different from the current one, even if a new album is factored in. I shouldn't get my hopes up, but I'm still hoping they'll perform Hold Me.

2017 would be a good time for a farewell tour and Rumours 40th anniversary tour. Im surprised they didn't acknowledge this tour being the 40th anniversary of the white album and Stevie and Lindsey joining the band. I'm not too concerned with a new album, just another tour. I hope all five stick around for a farewell tour. A small shake up in the set list would be nice too. I wouldn't hold my breath, but they're doing Think About Me, so maybe there's hope for Hold Me on the farewell tour.

I already attended Fleetwood Mac's farewell tour in 1990

I would definitely bet on one more tour to say goodbye and promote their new album. As someone else pointed out 2017 is perfect 40 years anniversary of Rumours. But no way a huge tour like on with the show. John is my only concern. I hope he continues to full cancer recovery. I don't think they would go on without John.

This is what I predict will happen going forward:

The band will take a break end of November-end of January
The band will regroup in February-April to record with all members present
Stevie will do a US solo tour May-July probably backing 24k gold
Band will regroup in September/October to add finishing touches to the album
Band will do photo sessions and maybe video November
Album will drop in February with massive 40th anniversary Rumours promotional appearances
US tour will run April-May
Europe will be July-August
Australia will be October-mid November
US 2nd leg will be January-February

ps-I also believe we will get a live album, dvd of the tour, and maybe a documentary of them in the studio and backstage.

God I hope you're right.

That sounds like a band that has it together and is planning further than the end of the current tour. All that going on without the requisite three years of bickering in interviews with each other before a new tour comes together? I'm hopeful we'll get those things, but all of it seems unlikely given the history of the band. No doubt there will be a big Rumours set though...with even more takes of songs that only the most die hard will listen to more than once.

God, this site needs a "like" button!

I'm thinking similar- though I'd hope the album comes out a lot sooner than Feb 2017. They've got a lot in the can. I'm not sure they'd need to add finishing touches in Sept/Oct. Feb-April should hopefully be enough time to have it sorted.

Gavin,

You should contact the band offering your managerial services.....
Your suggestions/future ideas are perfect for them....
They just need someone with the thoughts and clear mind to steer all of them down the same path....

I really think they will be too old at that point for such an ambitious tour.

There is NO WAY that this will be the LAST tour----but the farewell tour IS COMING very soon.

As a previous post stated, there is WAY TOO MUCH $ to me made by billing a FLEETWOOD MAC FAREWELL TOUR.

I think they'll take most of 2016 off (with Stevie doing minimal solo shows because she can't sit around).

There will be an album sometime in 2017 to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the band. THIS COULD BE THE FAREWELL TOUR.

The only two I'm worried about are John and Christine. John will be 72 and had cancer and Christine will be 74.

Yes! All of this.
And in the ensuing years after the band becomes defunct, my hope is that deluxe versions of Mirage and Tango will be released. Also, long tucked away professionally recorded performances/shows will be packaged and released.

I hope we get deluxe and expanded editions of Mirage and Tango.

Great thinking .I'm thinking the same way.We will see since FM is unpredictable with their planning.
