Fleetwood Mac To Begin World Tour In April 2013 - UK Dates To Be Announced This Week?

After months of speculation, the reunited Fleetwood Mac have announced that they are to kick-off their extensive world tour in April 2013. Could we see UK dates announced later this month?

Speaking about the decision to tour again, Stevie Nicks told Rolling Stone: "It's the perfect time to go back out. 2013 is going to be the year of Fleetwood Mac."

Fleetwood Mac will hit the road without a new album to support, as was the case with their 2010 tour, with the new set comprising of the band's huge back catalog.

"We always have to play 'Dreams,' 'Rhiannon,' 'Don't Stop,' 'Tusk,' 'Big Love,' 'Landslide' and all our most famous songs," comments band guitarist Lindsey Buckingham. "When you've gone through all your must-do's, that's 75% of your potential setlist. I think with the other 25%, there are areas of our catalog that are more under-explored. Maybe we'll play more songs from Tusk. I'd also like to see an extended middle portion of the show that's just me and Stevie. This is just me talking from the top of my head. For now, I have no particular vision of what this tour is going to be."

Rehearsals for the tour will begin in February next year. Hopefully, from those sessions, a decision can be made on what tracks to include in the shows. "We actually have two new Fleetwood Mac songs that I cut with Lindsey two weeks ago we might play," says Nicks. "I had a really good time working with him for four days at his house. I got to hang out with his family and his kids, his grown up kids, and really connect with him again. We’re pretty proud of what we have done, and we’re looking at it through the eyes of wisdom now, instead of through the eyes of jealousy and resentment and anger."

So far, only American tour dates have been confirmed. The group are expected to announce further dates in Europe and the rest of the world soon. "If everything goes will we'll be in Europe doing festivals this summer," says Nicks. "Then we'll actually tour Europe, which is different than just doing festivals. Then we might do fifteen or so shows in Australia."
