Legendary rockers Rod Stewart & Stevie Nicks have announced plans to reunite this summer and reprise their highly acclaimed, co-headlining “Heart & Soul Tour.”

In a career spanning five decades, Rod Stewart has amassed an estimated 250 million in album and single sales and an incredible 16 Grammy nominations. In April he will join the elite list of artists who are 2x Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees (as a solo artist and soon as a member of the seminal 60s rock band, the Faces). On March 24, he will return to Las Vegas for an 8-concert-run of "The Hits" - part of his immensely popular first residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace.

Stevie Nicks is a multi-Grammy Award Winner as a solo artist and member of the legendary Fleetwood Mac and a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee. Her new CD "In Your Dreams" debuted at No. 6 on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart and has received glowing reviews from numerous outlets, including US Magazine who declared it "the best album of Nicks' four decade career."

I don't believe it they are actually going back out on the road together. I know both of them said they would love to do it again but I didn't believe it would ever happen..crazy.
Its going to be interesting to see what other cities they stop in... or if they bring the show to Europe?? Here's hoping

Nashville first stop.

This might not be a bad sign- Stevie touring with Rod again in order to beef up her cash reserves so she can go off the road for a while & record again... hopefully with Fleetwood Mac. It'd make sense to do this before going back into studio with the Mac, because they take notoriously long to record their albums. Plus, I don't think either she or Fleetwood Mac are under contract anymore, and may not get a record deal with a big advance offer. So she could be touring with Rod to literally help bank roll future solo or Mac recordings.

Please say this is an Internet rumor. This sucks. Already had to sit through this once, won't do it again. Stevie as opener with short set then made to be Rod's back up singer, such an insult . Was so looking forward to her summer tour, this stinks !!!

[Macfanforever]

This sucks.Who talk her into this project. The first time around last year through her into a loop and screw her CD release.but if thats what she wants.get ready for a Readers Digest concert set list with songs verses cut with a hefty ticket price..What happen to the Tom Petty rumour.

[Macfanforever]

I'm not knocking Rod.He's a great entertainer,but there is a mismatch here.Tom and Don will fit in with her.I probably will limit my road trip on this tour.

I hope!

Really wasn't expecting another tour with Rod...

[Garbo]

Who's hoping that Stevie will put together a new setlist for this tour? It seems like it would make the most sense for her to do a greatest hits set (like last year's H & S tour) but maybe we can hope for a few new additions..

Seriously? Again?

heres some videos from the last time around.

Well we all guessed what her next move would be. NO ONE guessed that. Lol

[THINKABOUTIT]

Stevie is a multiple Grammy award winner as a solo artist?? LOL....We can only dream!!

[WildHearted]

I don't want to go see Rod at all... but I don't want to miss Stevie if she comes through town.

CONFLICTED.

ETA: I have to say I don't much see the point in the Rod tour (aside, obviously, to make some $$$). Logically.. I'd say given the demographic, Stevie's not inherently introducing herself/music to anyone new really, most Rod fans would know who Stevie is and for the most part if they were gonna be a Stevie Nicks fan they would be one by now. So it's not as if she's branching out to reach a whole new generation or something... it's just playing for a set of people who aren't your fans.

My first reaction was NOOOOO. Of all the things I was hoping would happen this year, this was dead last. But the only silver lining and what I would imagine Stevie is thinking is she will get to play In Your Dreams songs to a much bigger audience. If she can get 25 rod Stewart fans per concert ot purchase In Your dreams then good for her.

I would imagine she'd play 4 IYD songs, her 4 Fleetwood Mac standards and Edge/Stand Back. Or maybe they'll be a "New" new song from her even newer forthcoming album in the this set.

So "If" this is actually happening her set will obviously be 10/11 songs again. The deciding factor for me going will be if those 10/11 songs are IYD heavy.
