Fleetwood Mac to play Tulsa’s BOK Center this spring
Tulsa’s BOK Center will be hosting another big show in 2009: Legendary rock band Fleetwood Mac will be playing the arena May 3, the venue and the band’s publicist announced today.
Tickets will go on sale 10 a.m. Jan. 26 and will be available online at www.bokcenter.com, at area Reasor’s and Homeland stores and the Arby’s Box Office or by phone at (866) 726-5287. Ticket prices are $149.50, $79.50, $49.50
The Tulsa concert is part of a slate of 29 more shows added to band’s upcoming Greatest Hits “Unleashed” Tour in April and May, it was confirmed today by Live Nation. The new tour dates come on the heels of the first leg of dates announced in December, which have nearly sold out.
“We are extremely pleased with the Fleetwood Mac sales to date,” said Jason Garner, Chief Executive Officer of Global Music at Live Nation, in a news release. “Their success is another example of the strength of the 2009 concert season.”
The”Unleashed” Tour, beginning March 1 in Pittsburgh, is an epic cross-country trek featuring 44 shows in major markets. The tour will include all of the band’s numerous greatest hits. Fleetwood Mac, the multi-Grammy-winning, multi-platinum Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees are back on the road for the first time in five years following several successful solo projects.
With the retirement of singer/pianist Christine McVie, the band now includes drummer Mick Fleetwood, bassist John McVie, singer Stevie Nicks and singer/guitar genius Lindsey Buckingham. Buckingham’s smoking show last fall at Tulsa’s Brady Theater was one of the highlights of my 2008. While I’m disappointed that Christine McVie won’t be performing with the band – she’s been happily retired for awhile now – this should be one of the concert highlights of the year.
Tickets for the entire Live Nation-produced tour go on sale to the public Jan. 26; you can also buy them online at www.LiveNation.com and www.tickets.com. American Express cardmembers will have early access to tickets beginning at 10 a.m. local time Saturday through 10 p.m. local time Jan. 25. Cardholders will be contacted by American Express with presale link and code if they are eligible.
“We love our band and think the title of the tour “Unleashed” perfectly describes how we all feel when we get on stage together – especially in 2009. We’re so happy to get back out on the road, perform everyone’s favorite songs and see our fans,” said the band in a joint statement.
The band’s iconographic ”Rumours” album - which has been certified diamond, signifying sales of more than 10 million units by the RIAA - is set to be re-released as part of a special CD/DVD boxed set on Reprise Records in conjunction with the tour dates. The boxed set will include several songs from “Rumours” in their original demo form along with unreleased tracks recorded during that time period and never-before-seen DVD footage of the band from the “Rumours” era.
I Love All Access will provide a variety of VIP packages for the tour, including premium seats accessible via www.iloveallaccess.com.
