Fleetwood Mac Live 2013 marks the band's first tour since 2009, and while they won't be pushing a new album, the trek will come on the heels of the massive reissue of their 1977 classic Rumours that's filled with unreleased live and studio material, and a DVD of the 1977 documentary The Rosebud Film.

Fleetwood Mac is heading back on the road, and that means the top-selling group will release new music – sort of... Stevie Nicks recently sang on tracks that Lindsey Buckingham, Mick Fleetwood and John McVie worked on, calling the sessions "great." But Nicks also says she's not sure where the band fits in today's music industry. "Whether or not we're gonna do any more (songs), we don't know because we're so completely bummed out with the state of the music industry and the fact that nobody even wants a full record," she said. "Everybody wants two songs, so we're going to give them two songs." Nicks said depending on the response to the new tracks – which Buckingham calls "the most Fleetwood Mac-y stuff ... in a long time" – more material could come next... "Maybe we'll get an EP out of it or something," Buckingham said.

Nicks will continue to record solo albums, though. The group is celebrating the 35th anniversary of the best-selling "Rumours" album, which has moved some 20 million units in the United States. She knows that's not possible again, despite the success of Adele's "21," which has sold 10 million units in America in less than two years.

"This is Adele's `Rumours,'" Nicks said. "She had a baby, she's going to take a year off to take care of her baby – that's why I never had any kids. She's going to go back and start writing again, you never know what the next record's going to be. Is it going to sell 10 million records? You don't know," she said. Buckingham said he initially wanted to record a new album, but Nicks "wasn't too into that." But the guitarist and singer knows that new music isn't a priority for the band's fans.

Fleetwood Mac, which was formed in 1967, last released an album in 2003, though they hit the road in 2009. Nicks and Buckingham – who originally joined the band in 1974 as a couple – both released solo albums and toured last year. Buckingham had suggested that Fleetwood Mac tour last year, but says getting everyone to agree was tough... "If you look at Fleetwood Mac as a group, you can make the case of saying we're a bunch of individuals who don't necessarily belong in the same group together, but it's the synergy of that that makes us so good. But it also makes the politics a little more tenuous," he said. "You can say that not only can it be a political minefield, someone's always causing trouble, right? I caused trouble for years so I can't point any fingers."

Fleetwood Mac, 03 October 2013

Multi-Grammy winning Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees, Fleetwood Mac, will grace Scottish soil in October of this year.

Fleetwood Mac last toured in 2009 with the sold out Unleashed Tour. The current lineup includes Mick Fleetwood and John McVie – both original members since l967, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks who joined the band in l975.

This 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. The expanded edition’s three CDs include the original album, the b-side of 'Silver Springsm,' a dozen unreleased live recordings from the group’s l977 world tour and an entire disc filled with unreleased takes from the album's recording sessions. The deluxe edition includes all of the music from expanded version, plus an additional disc of outtakes on DVD that features 'The Rosebud Film,' a l977 documentary about the album and the album on Vinyl. Digital versions are also available.

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.

"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.

No tickets will be dispatched for this event until at least summer 2013.

Ter ere van de 35e verjaardag van ‘Rumours’ bracht Fleetwood Mac eind januari een aantal geremasterde en uitgebreide versies uit. De wereldtournee waar dit concert deel van uitmaakt, staat geheel in het teken van het succesvolle album.

‘Rumours’ oogstte in de jaren zeventig veel lof en verdiende een Grammy Award voor Album van het Jaar. De plaat ging wereldwijd meer dan 40 miljoen keer over de toonbank en is daarmee het best verkochte echtscheidings-album aller tijden. In afzonderlijke kamertjes werd geschreven over de afbrokkelende relaties van de bandleden. "We zaten onbewogen te luisteren naar elkaars songs over onze eigen stukgelopen relaties", zegt Mick Fleetwood. In een artikel in Rolling Stone van maart 1977 noemt muziekjournalist Cameron Crowe de situatie een 'emotionele holocaust'.

Ruim 35 jaar later komt een van de meest invloedrijke rockbands naar Nederland, om het nietsverhullende dagboek live te brengen in Ziggo Dome Amsterdam.

65-69 euro per ticket.

Eén van ‘s werelds meest duurzame, geliefde en succesvolle bands gaat opnieuw touren! Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Lindsay Buckingham en Stevie Nicks - beter bekend als de bandleden van Fleetwood Mac - kondigen vandaag een nieuwe wereldtournee aan. Niet toevallig valt deze aankondiging samen met de 35ste verjaardag van hun legendarische album ‘Rumours’ (1977). ‘Rumours’ is één van de meest succesvolle platen uit de muziekgeschiedenis en ging meer dan 40 miljoen keer over de toonbank. Het album scheerde 31 weken lang de hoogste toppen in de pop hitlijsten en had vier top tien singles. 35 jaar later komt er nu een deluxe heruitgave van ‘Rumours’, die nooit eerder uitgegeven studio- én livenummers bevat. En om de verjaardag van deze fantastische langspeler nog extra te vieren komt er dus ook een nieuwe tour! “In 1967 zijn John McVie en ik gestart met Fleetwood Mac. Het is enorm bevredigend dat de band het tot op heden overleefd heeft, ondanks de vele transformaties die zich sindsdien hebben voorgedaan. Door de jaren heen is er echter altijd één ding wel stabiel gebleven. Onze fans. Ik kijk er enorm naar uit de band met de fans opnieuw aan te scherpen en het podium te delen met de andere FM-leden.”, aldus Mick Fleetwood.

De Fleetwood Mac Live 2013 Tournee houdt ook halt in ons land. De helden van onvergetelijke hits als “Albatross”, “Go Your Own Way”, “Little Lies” en “Everywhere” staan op woensdag 9 oktober op de planken van het Antwerpse Sportpaleis.
