McVie was part of the group from the 1970s to the '90s, writing and performing some of their biggest hits.
Nicks told BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour that McVie, who left the group in 1998, would perform one song at two concerts.
The tour begins with two shows in Dublin on Friday 20 September followed by a further three in London.
Nicks told Woman's Hour:
"She is going to come and do a song on the second two shows. I think it will probably be Don't Stop. I don't know, but she's coming to Ireland to rehearse with us."
Nicks did not clarify which two shows she was referring to. A spokesman for the group said he could not confirm the details.
Don't Stop was McVie's biggest US hit as a songwriter, reaching number three in 1977.
The news comes despite comments from Nicks last December, saying of a possible return by McVie: "There's no more a chance of that happening than an asteroid hitting the Earth."
Nicks, however, went on to explain that her British former bandmate "doesn't want to fly" and "doesn't want to come back to America", which may explain why she has agreed to appear at a couple of UK shows but not their US dates earlier this year.
