Fleetwood Mac to Launch World Tour in April 2013

Fleetwood Mac announced to Rolling Stone today that for the first time in three years, the band will embark on a world tour, set to kick off April 4th in Columbus, OH. Tickets go on sale Dec. 14th.

"It's the perfect time to go back out," Stevie Nicks said to Rolling Stone. "2013 is going to be the year of Fleetwood Mac."

The group - which has undergone many changes since originally forming in 1967 - currently features lead singer Stevie Nicks, John McVie, Lindsey Buckingham, and Mick Fleetwood. The four will take their tour throughout North America (stops and dates are below) - and to Europe later on in the year.

As of now, Nicks and the guys are working on nailing down a setlist composed of both old and new favorites.

“We always have to play ‘Dreams,’ ‘Rhiannon,’ ‘Don’t Stop,’ ‘Tusk,’ ‘Big Love,’ ‘Landslide’ and all our most famous songs,” Lindsey Buckingham told Rolling Stone. “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.”
