Fleetwood Mac tops off spring itinerary, summer dates in the works

Classic rockers Fleetwood Mac have put the finishing touches on the first leg of their upcoming North American tour, which will visit 27 cities in May and June.

A second leg of dates is in the works, which will keep the group on the road through the summer, according to Warner Bros. Records. The band, which last year issued its first album of all-new material in more than a decade, is currently touring Australia.

Cable networks VH1 and VH1 Classic have signed on as presenting sponsors of Fleetwood Mac's U.S. outing, which will visit a mix of arenas and amphitheaters.

Members of Fleetwood Mac's fan club have access to ticket pre-sales for each show, according to the band's official website. The fan-club offering features two different ticket packages: the first--dubbed the "Bronze Presale"--includes a ticket in the first 30 rows, priced at face value plus a $10 service charge; the second--the "Platinum Package"--features tickets in the first five rows, an exclusive T-shirt and VIP laminate, an autographed tour book, a $25 coupon for the band's online store, and a VIP backstage tour that does not include a meet-and-greet with the band, priced at $500.

On-sale information for most shows wasn't available at press time, but tickets are expected to roll out soon.

Fleetwood Mac continues to support last April's "Say You Will," which is the band's first studio album since 1986's "Tango in the Night" to feature Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham, Mick Fleetwood and John McVie. Keyboardist-vocalist Christine McVie has retired from the group.
