Is Stevie going to have a regular tour scedule this summer?

Hey I was thinking, that stevie hasn't released a proper tour schedule, because of right now its here and there situation, is she going to have a regular tour, and not this here and there?

She will! My friends works as a tour promoter and says they have been fielding offers, just unsure of venue sizes. I have a feeling the dates will be announced with the new single in a few weeks. I do have a feeling though that the tour will probably be August-October (6 weeks in the US).

Ugh, I hope it doesn't coincide with Lindsey's tour. With my luck they will both play in RI on the same day.

She better not start this thing in late September when I move to the UK or I will seriously cry..

I can't wait to hear an actual tour schedule! If it's in the US I'll try and get tickets and work a budget out, but if there ay Europan dates I'm THERE! After about 12 years as a fan I can finally see her live solo!

Well she never seems to stay idle for long. I think it will happen.

Are there any official dates yet? Maybe she'll go out in July/Aug/Sept?

I really hope so, since I leave for England in October.

In the last year, she's had a tendency to announce shows 2-4 weeks before they happen. I wouldn't be surprised if she announced a tour on this short of notice, as well. I hope she does... I will be so upset if she announces a tour that starts while I'm gone.

At this point, I hope she bypasses touring and goes straight into recording with Fleetwood Mac instead. The ball has been dropped in regards to promoting this album: Stevie wasn't put on the late night talk shows, she didn't have a music video to promote her first single until it was too late, she saturated the major touring markets earlier this year with Rod Stewart, she sang only ONE song from the new album at all her shows this year (sans Wiltern), and the album itself is set to fall off the charts next week. I think IYD is past the point of revival at this point.

Stevie's gotten the best critical acclaim of her career from IYD, that in itself is a triumph. She should just take that forward motion and go straight into the studio with Fleetwood Mac vs touring. She's pretty much toured every single year this past decade. Enough already! My guess is this won't happen, especially considering Lindsey's album won't be released until this Fall, and he has tour dates already planned. He'll want the book closed on his album before he goes into the studio with Fleetwood Mac.

I'm guessing Stevie will indeed do some more shows later in the summer & perhaps into early Fall. But what form that'll take, I'm unsure. She can't fill the corporate amphitheaters by herself anymore. So she either has to come up with a touring partner, or go to smaller venues. Perhaps that's what's going on behind the scenes right now, and why there seems to be a lull in the storm.

That can't happen though, right? Doesnt Buckingham have a new album due in Sept? Unless we get a "let's make this a Mac album" again *slaps forehead*

I love you dearly, but this statement makes me want to slap you! If you were at the Wiltern show, trust me-- you'd really, really want to see these new songs live.

I hope she will do something by herself before she head to Austrailia in the fall.I hope not in Sept.Thats my busy season at work.The little tour in August last year was fine.She does not have to do a big blow out tour like in 2007 and 2008.But she should do it to promote the cd.I still think the Rod combo through her for a hoop and screw her cd release.She should of told him NO.not this time.I have a CD to take care of.Anyway I did had a blast at his show after all.and almost gotten clobbered with a soccer ball in the mean time.LOL.......

Dave's more then welcome to come.

There is so much wrong right here.

Louie! Dude! Just because this album hasn't had the promotion it deserves doesn't mean it needs to continue to skulk off towards the sunset without a peep. These songs are incredible! They deserve to be heard.
And Stevie may be disappointed to play smaller venues, but at least she'll see that people care. Wouldn't it be a bigger blow to have the album entirely forgotten, those songs played only once? How can she throw herself creatively into a Fleetwood Mac album if an album she considers her great artistic achievement goes completely unrecognized?
