2025 Headliners

[Justcalledtosay]

Lindsey Buckingham isn't following that new Fleetwood Mac instagram page FWIW

[CaledonianGonzo]

There'd be nothing more typically Fleetwood Mac than them announcing that Lindsey is now back in the band

 

(and John is now out)

[NorthernSoul52]

Fleetwood Mac, but it's actually just Crowded House with Mick on drums.

Is Fleetwood Mac still active? I thought Mick called it a day when Christine passed away....

Oh Fleetwood Mac. The sound of my childhood. Make it happen ❤️ (I know it’s so unlikely but… Dreams …)

[NorthernSoul52]

Is it worth it without CM and LB? Food for thought.

Yes.

 

They are kind of used to changes in the personnel and there is definitely the fan thirst for it 🙂

Fair enough.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Both have been out the band before - although not at the same time. I reckon they'd need Lindsey back for this to be a goer.

[NorthernSoul52]

With no CM and no LB, you're looking at just one vintage-era vocalist.

 

It's not on for me.

Almost certainly probably.. not theres definitely no way is there. 

 

Ruled out a million times over. 

 

Probably should not even talk about it. 

 

But 

 

It looks like Fleetwood Mac are gearing up for some kind of anoucement...... 

 

 

 

 

where did you see this about Fleetwood Mac?

Didn’t actually notice it at all … maybe I was too busy enjoying the set 

I didn’t notice much at Glastonbury but it was very obvious at TRNSMT last year. He needs to wind that in, looks very small time.

I saw this on Twitter last night - https://www.cornwalllive.com/news/fleetwood-mac-spark-reunion-tour-9631355?utm_term=Autofeed&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1728916912 😊

[Badlands]

Be surprised if Fender persisted with the black and white stuff.  It's one thing to have it at a home show but wont do him much good outside the area. Didnt look like he had any at Reading & Leeds - though only seen tv footage. 

 

Certainly no place at glastonbury for football tribalism.

Found this too, though I guess it covers the same ground: Fleetwood Mac fans in frenzy after sudden flurry of band activity | The Independent

 

Part of me wonders if it might wind up just being more reissues. But given their twisted thorny history, who even knows what they're up to. Makes Oasis look calm and well behaved for crying out loud.

I can beat that. My wife bought me tickets for my birthday to his gig at St James' Park a few summers ago, just after they'd qualified for the Champions League. It was like being a Nazi rally..

I'm a Newcastle supporter (albeit one that grew up/lives down south) and am aware that many other Newcastle fans went gleefully overboard with that one, to the point where I genuinely think there was more of a pro-Newcastle celebration there than even that time when Leicester-born Kasabian played the Leicester City FC stadium to celebrate their unexpected Premier League title in 2016.

 

I also don't care ha. It's their party, why not go all out in celebrating crazily. Going forward, I assume the balance is that there'll be some Toon references but going truly Geordie squared at shows in Newcastle and not so much outside the NE postcode area.

 

... maybe.

Half the blokes there wear football tops! 

[danbailey80]

Surprised with the lack of faith of Sam to deliver. 
 

Wait to hear his new single coming out Friday called ‘People Watching’, the hype for album that will follow and then trickles of big singles over next 6 months and him headlining will seem like an obvious act to do so. 
 

He sold out stadiums and Finsbury Park easily last year and this album looks to be bigger. He’s young, played the Pyramid before and was known as a highlight. Packed field. Writes his own songs, good bands of mates, massive voice to carry the turns across the field.
 

Not sure what else you want from a headliner? 😀

And he passes the mum test, they bloody love him too!

Or at least bring distinctive flags...

A few friends of mine who went confirmed the black and white shirts were there to match.

 

Although curiously one of the few times I saw one in the wild was a man in front of me at Pulp in a vintage 90s Shearer 9 NCL top.

[charlierc]

I feel like it's one of Fender or Fred tbf. But I'd wouldn't be sure to guess which.

 

Unless they do both on the same night? But that feels like a stretch.

[nikkic]

Has there ever been an act who has only played the festival twice, as a sub then as headliner?

 

Good trivia question!

Oh im sure the album has been done for years.   Its just not wanting to release it without the world tour to my limited Knowlege. 

 

Its not launched in London thats just when the Euro leg is - the whole world tour is only about 15 dates so its not massive.  But im sure New York and LA have shows before London though im not sure in what order -  Il see if I can find out and share something more concrete.

 

Hey do you have any more info on this???

Is it Kings of Leon? I know they headlined in 2008 and think they subbed in 2004 but can't recall if they did one before that.
