LOS ANGELES, Dec. 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Fleetwood Mac, one of rock's most enduring,
beloved and successful bands, will be embarking on a major 34-city
US Tour after a three year break beginning April 4th, 2013. The tour was
announced today by the group and Live Nation, the tour's national
promoter. Fleetwood Mac Live 2013 arena tour includes
stops in Philadelphia, New York
City, Boston, Chicago and a special appearance at the
historic Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. Tickets for the first
run of shows go on sale beginning December
14th at Ticketmaster.com.
American Express cardmembers can get advance tickets for all
tour dates. Live Nation mobile app users will have access to
presale tickets beginning Thursday, December
13th at 10:00 AM (local
time). The full list of tour dates follows this release.
Multi Grammy-winning and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees,
Fleetwood Mac last toured in
2009 with the sold out Unleashed tour. The
new tour also marks the 35th anniversary of the release
of their classic Rumours album (1977), one of the most
successful albums in recorded history with sales exceeding 40
million copies. Rumours planted itself at the top of
the pop charts for over 31 weeks and had four top ten
singles.
To coincide with the tour and anniversary, a new deluxe reissue
of Rumours with previously unreleased studio and live tracks
will be released in early 2013 from Rhino. More details on the set
will be announced soon.
The current Fleetwood Mac lineup
includes Mick Fleetwood and
John McVie – both original members
since 1967, Lindsey Buckingham and
Stevie Nicks who joined the band in
1975.
"Having started Fleetwood Mac
with John McVie in 1967, it has
always been so gratifying that despite the various incarnations,
the band has survived. Throughout the years, though, the one thing
that has remained constant is our fans. I am looking forward to
getting back behind the kit, reconnecting with the fans and sharing
the stage with my fellow band members," commented Mick Fleetwood.
"After spending four days at Lindsey's house working on music
and one really fun day doing a crazy photo session, I am quite
excited about next year. Everything seems to be falling into
place. 2013 looks like the year of Fleetwood Mac," commented Stevie Nicks.
"I'm really looking forward to hitting the road with Stevie,
Mick and John in 2013. It's been over three years
since we've toured together and happily the break allowed me
to explore a lot of uncharted territory as well as experience
tremendous growth creatively. I'm excited to bring that back
to the band. When everyone in FM wants the same thing at the
same time, it's cause for celebration. Long Live Fleetwood
Mac!" added Lindsey Buckingham.
"I'm really looking forward to going back on the road,"
commented John McVie.
Nicks has just completed a two year tour coinciding with the
release of her critically acclaimed In Your Dreams CD which
debuted at No. 6 on the Billboard Pop Charts. In
Your Dreams was released on Reprise Records in 2011, and was
co-written and co-produced by Dave
Stewart and Glen Ballard.
Nicks also produced and co-directed a documentary film of the
recording of In Your Dreams which has received rave reviews
at the Hamptons International Film Festival along with several
other film festivals.
Buckingham has been touring to sold-out crowds over the last
year in conjunction with his critically acclaimed September 2011 release of Seeds We Sow,
his 6th solo studio album and first independent release,
which debuted at No. 6 on Billboard's Rock Album Chart. He was
recently honored with ASCAP's Golden Note Award, and has also
received the prestigious Les Paul
Award.
In August, Mick Fleetwood opened
his brand new restaurant, Fleetwood's On Front Street, in
Lahaina on Maui. The grand opening included musical
performances by Mick, Steven Tyler,
Jonny Lang and more. Mick also
founded Mick Fleetwood's Private
Cellar, which has produced over 20 vintages and varietals earning
multiple medals in international tastings. Mick's band, The Mick
Fleetwood Blues Band, was nominated for a Grammy in 2010 for their
album Blue Again.
John McVie has spent the past
three years enjoying his family and solitude at home in
Hawaii.
