Legendary super group Fleetwood Mac will return to New Zealand for the first
time in nearly 30 years for an exclusive show at New Plymouth's beautiful
TSB Bowl of Brooklands in December.

Following on the heels of their hugely successful 55-city sold out North
American tour, Fleetwood Mac - Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham, Mick
Fleetwood and John McVie - will bring their 'Unleashed' tour to New Zealand
on Saturday December 19.

The tour is a two-hour plus celebration of all the greatest hits from
undoubtedly one of the most enduring, celebrated and influential rock groups
of all time.

Promoter Andrew McManus said: "I am thrilled to be bringing this incredible
band back to New Zealand for this one-off concert. It's been nearly 30 years
which is way too long! Fans will no doubt travel from all over the country
to experience this legendary band."

"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 be back out on the road where we'll perform
everyone's favorite songs and see all our New Zealand fans," said Fleetwood
Mac in a joint statement.

The band has received unanimous rave reviews on their US tour and enjoyed
themselves so much that they have added a two month stint through Europe
leading in to Australia and New Zealand in December.

And how's this for a set list?! 'Rhiannon', 'Dreams', 'The Chain', 'Tusk',
'Landslide', 'Gold Dust Woman', 'Say That You Love Me', 'Stand Back', 'Go
Your Own Way', 'Don't Stop', 'Sara' and 'Never Going Back Again'... to name
just a few of their incredible classic hits!

Their magnum opus 'Rumours'- the 1977 Grammy Award winner for Album of the
Year - stands as one of THE greatest albums ever made. With in excess of 40
million copies sold worldwide, its songs have unquestionably stood the test
of time and still sound amazing.

And according to the US reviewers, the band's supreme musicianship and
superstar aura remain very much intact.

News, March 2009)

"...the band dug in, rocked out and had no problem reclaiming the original
passion of the times to the delight of the audience." (Ottawa Citizen, March

"An abundance from one of the most successful catalogs in rock history, more
than enough to keep the two-hour and 20-minute show airborne from start to
finish." (Billboard, March 2009)

"Its official: Fleetwood Mac hasn't lost a step...the Mac remains a
well-oiled machine that need only be kicked into gear when the timing is
right." (Boston Herald, March 2009)

"Sending fans home happy...not only is the Mac back, but still in very fine
form." (Pittsburgh
Post-Gazette, March 2009)

promises to be one of the musical highlights of the year.
