Legendary, GRAMMY-award winning band Fleetwood Mac have today announced a European tour, set to kick off in June with three exclusive performances announced in London, Dublin and Berlin.
Following the departure of Lindsey Buckingham, the current line-up comprises of Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie along with newcomers (to them) Mike Campbell who was a key Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers member and Neil Finn of Split Enz and Crowded House fame.
“Fleetwood Mac has always been about an amazing collection of songs that are performed with a unique blend of talents. We jammed with Mike and Neil and the chemistry really worked and let the band realize that this is the right combination to go forward with in Fleetwood Mac style. We know we have something new, yet it’s got the unmistakable Mac sound,” said Mick Fleetwood.
“We are thrilled to welcome the musical talents of the caliber of Mike Campbell and Neil Finn into the Mac family. With Mike and Neil, we’ll be performing all the hits that the fans love, plus we’ll be surprising our audiences with some tracks from our historic catalogue of songs,” said the group collectively. “Fleetwood Mac has always been a creative evolution. We look forward to honoring that spirit on this upcoming tour.”
Fleetwood Mac was founded by Peter Green in 1967 and was named after Mick Fleetwood and John McVie. After Peter Green left in 1969, Fleetwood and McVie remained as original members, and the band has since featured a cast of brilliant talents. Most notably, Christine McVie joined the band in 1970, with Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham joining in 1974. The enduring spirit of Fleetwood Mac stands for an incredible body of great music that has connected with generations of people all over the world for more than 50 years. Fleetwood Mac has sold more than 100 million records worldwide and the GRAMMY-award winning band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998.
At their most recent show in St. Louis, the AOR legends found room in their 24-song set for ‘The Chain’, ‘Little Lies’, ‘Dreams’, ‘Say You Love Me’, ‘Oh Well’, ‘You Make Loving Fun’, ‘Go Your Own Way’, ‘Don’t Stop’ and countless more chart-conquering classics.
To make their new recruits feel at home, there were also covers of Split Enz’s ‘I Got You’, Crowded House’s ‘Don’t Dream It’s Over’ and Tom Petty’s ‘Free Fallin’’.
