Fleetwood Mac Will Play 2 New Jersey Shows In 2019

Fleetwood Mac is coming to New Jersey for shows at the Prudential Center in Newark and Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City as part of their North American tour in the spring of 2019. The band lineup will include Stevie Nicks, Mick Fleetwood, John McVie and Christine McVie, along with newcomers Mike Campbell and Neil Finn.

The band will visit Atlantic City on Saturday, March 9, and Newark on Wednesday, March 13. See more tour info and purchase tickets here.

The tour will mark the band’s first time on the road without Lindsey Buckingham in more than three decades. According to the group, the split with their longtime guitarist and vocalist came down to a scheduling conflict surrounding the tour, Rolling Stone reported.

“Fleetwood Mac has always been about an amazing collection of songs that are performed with a unique blend of talents,” Mick Fleetwood said. “We jammed with Mike and Neil and the chemistry really worked and let the band realize that this is the right combination to go forward with in Fleetwood Mac style. We know we have something new, yet it’s got the unmistakable Mac sound.”

The rest of the band echoed Fleetwood’s sentiments about their new collaborators in a joint statement:

“We are thrilled to welcome the musical talents of the caliber of Mike Campbell and Neil Finn into the Mac family. With Mike and Neil, we’ll be performing all the hits that the fans love, plus we’ll be surprising our audiences with some tracks from our historic catalogue of songs. Fleetwood Mac has always been a creative evolution. We look forward to honoring that spirit on this upcoming tour.”

On Wednesday, the band announced that tickets for most tour dates will go on sale to the general public starting at 10 a.m. on Saturday, May 4, 2018, with tickets for the Prudential Center show available Sunday, May 5.

The enduring spirit of Fleetwood Mac stands for an incredible body of great music that has connected with generations of people all over the world for more than 50 years.
