    Discussing the prospect of playing European shows, meanwhile, she said: "If everything goes will we'll be in Europe doing festivals this summer. Then we'll actually tour Europe, which is different than just doing festivals. Then we might do 15 or so shows in Australia."

    Her comments could spark renewed speculation that the band are set to headline Glastonbury when the festival returns in 2013. When previously asked about the rumours, festival boss Emily Eavis said: "I think Fleetwood Mac would be amazing to get, I’ll be totally honest we haven’t had any conversations with them yet but, you know, it is still early days. We’re just talking to some headliners now. For us it’s about getting the balance of heritage bands, legends and new bands – just keeping that balance."

    No mention of an Irish gig and it mightn't happen but let's see!

    Saw them last time in the O2 (2-3 years ago?) and they were incredible, one of the best gigs I've ever seen.
    Lindsey B is a very underrated guitarist, his solo at the end of 'I'm So Afraid' is Comfortably Numb-esque!
    And when they did 'Oh Well' the place went ape$hit!

    Saw them in 2009 and they didn't disappoint! Lindsay doing Big Love all on his own was the highlight of the show.

    Dying to hear the Europe dates, reckon they'll definitely play Dublin sure they can charge so much for tickets it's worth it for them, it was €90 in 2009!

    Agree with you about Lindsey B. I have a nephew who is a very gifted guitarist and I have been trying to get him to look at Lindsey for inspiration instead of just following Clapton etc like everyone else.A concert here would be great,don't care what it costs!:)

    Excellent gig the last time I saw them a few years back, Buckingham really is a smashing guitarist!! I'm sure ticket prices will be horrendous though!!

    Anyone going to Rush in Manchester can catch Journey and Whitesnake with an extra night's stay.

    If you want your nephew to be Fleetwood mac inspired, be sure to have his check out peter green Fleetwood mac. Rattlesnake shake and green manalishi live in Boston, it doesn't get much better than that when it comes to blues. Blows Clapton out of the water.

    Back on topic, I am sooo excited for roger waters. Saw him in the o2 doing the wall (and dsotm before that), incredible!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,091 ✭✭✭furiousox


    3 gigs to look forward to (so far) for me

    Wilko Johnson (Glasgow) First saw him in the mid '80's, this will be the last time I get to see him. Still the best live band I've ever seen.
    Neil Young/Crazy Horse (RDS)
    Roger Waters (Aviva)
