Fleetwood Mac coming to Ireland

Fleetwood Mac join the summer gig rush with a September 20 visit to the Dublin O2, tickets for which are €65.45 and go on sale on Friday February 8 at 9am.

Christine McVie is staying at home, but otherwise it’s the classic line-up – Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks – that recorded Rumours, way back in 1977.

A three-disc 35th anniversary edition of the album has just been released, which includes numerous demos, live recordings and a ‘making of’ documentary that neatly encapsulates the madness in the Mac camp at the time.

There’s also new material to look forward to with Mick Fleetwood telling the BBC:

“Myself and Lindsey went into the studio and created a calling card for Stevie letting her know we wanted to make new music. We had the greatest time and we made some really good music. Then her mother died and it wasn't time for her to be singing. Just recently though she has sung on three of them and we've recorded one original song of hers. So, we're going to go crazy and there will be something out that we will play onstage and that might become part of a long-term plan over the next year.”
