Fleetwood Mac to Verizon Arena
Posted by Robert Bell on Tue, Dec 4, 2012 at 6:00 AM
Alright! Fleetwood Mac is scheduled to play Verizon Arena on Friday, May 3. The lineup is the same from the 2009 "Unleashed" tour: Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham.
Tickets are $39-$147 with no additional fees and they go on sale Monday, Dec. 17 at 10 a.m. Call 800-745-3000 or go to ticketmaster.com to get yours. There's a limit of eight tickets.
Nicks told Rolling Stone that the band will likely have two new songs on the setlist and that "2013 is going to be the year of Fleetwood Mac."
Also, as with the "Unleashed" tour, the band isn't promoting a new album, so expect to hear plenty of hits from the band's deep catalog. Buckingham told Rolling Stone that "We always have to play 'Dreams,' 'Rhiannon,' 'Don't Stop,' 'Tusk,' 'Big Love,' 'Landslide' and all our most famous songs," and that "there are areas of our catalog that are more under-explored. Maybe we'll play more songs from 'Tusk.'"
Sweet! I'm going to have to listen to "Tusk" right now.
Does anybody remember the last time Fleetwood Mac played a concert in Little Rock? Buckingham was at Juanita's a few weeks ago, but I don't recall if the band played here in the last few decades. I was looking through some issues of the Times from the '70s a few months ago and saw that they came through town and played Barton Coliseum in 1977. That probably was a good show.
