It's been thirty-five long years since the legendary Stevie Nicks last graced the UK with her presence on tour. But fans can finally rejoice, as the rock icon has just announced a series of concerts set to take place this summer.
The 75-year-old American singer last performed a string of shows in the UK back in 1989 as a solo artist during her Other Side of the Mirror tour, where she wowed audiences in London and Birmingham. While she has made appearances in the UK with her band Fleetwood Mac, this will be the first time in a generation that she will be taking center stage with her own band, treating fans all over the country to hits like "Edge of Seventeen" and "Rooms on Fire."
The tour will kick off in Dublin on July 3rd, followed by a stop in Glasgow on July 6th. Then, she'll make her way to England for two more dates - a performance at the newly-opened Co-op Live Arena in Manchester on July 9th, followed by a huge show at Hyde Park BST on July 12th. Needless to say, UK and Ireland-based Stevie Nicks fans are ecstatic about the news, with many taking to social media to share their excitement.
One fan on X, who goes by the username Guitarista, wrote, "Stevie Nicks is playing Glasgow. I have goosebumps and I will cry." While another user, Eva, commented, "Stevie Nicks is coming to Glasgow and no one will go with me!"
The upcoming show in Glasgow will be Stevie's first performance in the UK since before the pandemic, with her last appearance being at Wembley Stadium in 2019 as part of Fleetwood Mac. As for her last solo show in the UK, fans will have to go back even further to 2017 when she supported Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers at Hyde Park BST.
One fan, Hailey, shared her excitement about the tour on X, writing, "My birthday is on Thursday and all I want is to manage to get tickets to see Stevie Nicks in Glasgow when the tickets go on sale Friday." However, some fans were left disappointed that the tour only includes dates in the UK, with fans in cities like Cardiff, Edinburgh, Newcastle, Liverpool, and Birmingham expressing their disappointment.
Unfortunately, one fan named Jake Thomas Long from Manchester won't be able to attend the show in his city, as he wrote, "Not Stevie Nicks coming to Manchester when I'm on holiday!"
As a singer and songwriter, Stevie first rose to fame in 1975 after joining Fleetwood Mac alongside fellow singer-songwriter Lindsey Buckingham. She left the band in 1990 but returned in 1997. Her arrival in the band marked a major change in their sound, as they transitioned from a progressive rock band to a popular rock band. Their albums, including their self-titled album in 1975 and Rumours, Tusk, Mirage, and Tango in the Night between 1977 and 1987, made them one of the biggest bands in rock history, with millions of albums and singles sold worldwide.
However, despite their success, it's unlikely that Stevie will tour with Fleetwood Mac again. In an interview, she revealed that the band is "done" following the death of long-time member Christine McVie, who passed away in November 2022 at the age of 79. She said, "When Christine died, I felt like you can't replace her. You just can't. Without her, what is it? She was like my soul mate, my musical soul mate, and my best friend that I spent more time with than any of my other best friends outside of Fleetwood Mac."
