Fleetwood Mac have announced the dates for their UK arena tour in September and October with shows in London, Birmingham, Manchester and Glasgow following a huge 34-city US Tour.
Fleetwood Mac last toured in 2009 with the sold out 'Unleashed Tour'. The current line-up 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. Both Nicks and Buckingham have been touring as solo acts, whilst Mick Fleetwood opened a restaurant, Fleetwood's On Front Street, in Lahaina on Maui, and 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.
Their tour dates are as follows:
Tue 24 September The O2, London
Sun 29 September LG Arena, Birmingham
Tue 01 October Manchster Arena, Manchester
Thu 03 October Hydro Arena, Glasgow
