1/14/09

Fleetwood Mac has added 29 more shows to the band’s “Unleashed" tour in April and May, for a total of 44, Live Nation announced. The new dates come on the heels of the first leg of dates announced in December, which have nearly sold out. The tour starts March 1 at Pittsburgh’s Mellon Arena and winds up May 31 at San Diego’s Cox Arena; the band plays Madison Square Garden March 19 and staples Center May 28. "We are extremely pleased with the Fleetwood Mac sales to date," said LN CEO of Global Music Jason Garner, taking a moment out from printing tickets. "Their success is another example of the strength of the 2009 concert season." This is the band’s first tour in five years. Interestingly, tickets for Live Nation-produced tour will be sold on both livenation.com and ticketmaster.com

The Mac is back! No, not that one. The latest chapter in the British/American rock band's storied, tumultuous history is a greatest hits tour, coinciding with a new, reissued version of their most famous album Rumours. The tour was announced back in December, but with only east coast dates. But now we know that Fleetwood Mac--the current, Christine McVie-less roster of Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham, John McVie and Mick Fleetwood-- is coming our way on May 23, at the Honda Center in Anaheim. They're also coming to LA's Staples Center on May 28. Classic rock lives!

Tickets for both are on sale 10 a.m. next Monday (Jan. 26) through the usual outlets; the Honda Center show is $49.50-$149.50.

No, seriously, I’m really on vacation. But this just came in, so I thought I’d quickly share an addendum to my earlier new-shows post: Fleetwood Mac’s Unleashed Tour, a greatest-hits outing that brings the Hall of Famers back together for the first time in five years, now has Southern California dates — May 23 at Honda Center in Anaheim, May 28 at Staples Center in L.A. and May 31 at Cox Arena in San Diego.

Tickets are expected to go on sale Jan. 26. Rock on, gold dust … er, people.

Fleetwood Mac Booked Through May

Twenty-nine more gigs have been added to Fleetwood Mac's hotly anticipated "Unleashed" tour, bringing the total number of announced shows to forty-four.

It's the Mac's first tour in nearly five years, and when we spoke with Stevie Nicks about it a couple weeks ago, she could hardly contain herself.

The thought of hitting the road with Mick, John and Lindsey, she says, "Still gives me goose bumps and it still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up."
