My Little Demon & Enchanted Kiwi - the Bowl of Brooklands does have seats. It's a mix of seats on the lake edge and a grass "Bowl" ... hence the name I have been to shows both standing (well, picnic-ing I guess...) and seated. They put in extra seats for Elton John and if you look on the web you will see they are doing same for Cliff Richard there.
It is a super cool place and I recommend taking the walk through the park to get to the gig like the locals do. We will be a few car loads imposing on our friends there so there will be full houses bursting to the seams!!
30 years! I can't wait!!

I work for the Brisbane paper entertainment section. They interviewed Mick and I'm pretty sure it'll be going out in Sunday's paper to coincide with the release of the dates. We aren't allowed to mention the specific info but assuming it goes to press you will find out the dates in a matter of hours now anyway.

Fleetwood Mac latest to bowl up to New Plymouth

By Grant Smithies

Stevie Nicks is sitting in her living room in Santa Monica, dreaming of Taranaki.
"Oh, I loved it there, I really did" she says, recalling her solo show in New Plymouth in 2006. "So I can't wait to get back there so I can show the rest of the band around and they can see how beautiful it is."
The band is Fleetwood Mac, who are returning to New Zealand for the first time in nearly 30 years, to play a single New Zealand show at New Plymouth's Bowl of Brooklands in December.
Nicks is speaking during a break in the American leg of the tour. "The schedule is horrific to be honest with you. We've done 53 shows, with very few days off. At one point Mick Fleetwood said "Dah-ling! Have you noticed we never have two days off? I can't even get a good meal, or do any shopping!" We have a touring schedule that 30-year old musicians would baulk at, but we got through it."

I love this little piece Also, I wish she'd take a camera when she is showing the rest of the band around.

I don't know how Mick figures they never had 2 days off -- maybe they're doing some work between concerts that we don't know about. Oh, well.

Its Now Official, Fleetwood Mac To Tour Australia

by Paul Cashmere - August 23 2009

Fleetwood Mac will tour Australia in December.

The Australian leg of the Unleashed tour will start in Melbourne in December 1 and include a winery show in the Hunter Valley on December 5.

This will be Fleetwood Mac’s first Australian tour in 5 years, and with no new album, the setlist is completely greatest hits.

In a phone hook-up with Undercover at the start of the world tour Mick Fleetwood said, “This is the first time we've gone on the road without an album. This is truly a new experience for Fleetwood Mac to go out and play songs that we believe and hope people are going to be familiar with and love."

Australian dates are:

December 1, Melbourne, Rod Laver Arena
December 5, Hunter Valley, Hope Estate Winery
December 7, Sydney, Acer Arena
December 11 and 12, Perth, Me Bank Stadium
December 15, Brisbane, Entertainment Centre

********

And finally something from the tour promoter:

(Bit unfortunate that 'upcoming' is misspelt in the url)

********

So not sure what happened to the 2nd dates in all of the other major cities. And Perth is actually the smallest of the four . I suppose they will go ahead depending on sales for the first date, but odd that some pre-sales have already happened for them.

Is Mick Zsa Zsa Gabor?

But that is because they know I live here!

Oh that and last time both concerts sold out in Perth. Not sure that they did sell out anywhere else in the country. See we have more fans over here - probably because we are 20 years behind the rest of the country and everyone has only just discovered Fleetwood Mac. Their latest album Rumours is fantastic!
