Tour Expansion Announced
Stevie Nicks has officially lengthened her 2025 summer outing, adding eight new dates and raising the schedule to seventeen shows. The singer’s return to arenas follows months of demand, with fans eager for a full‑length set after her earlier co‑headlining plans changed. Word arrived this morning, confirming bigger cities and routing between August and late October and beyond.
The run now starts August 8 at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, shifting from MetLife Stadium, and closes October 25 at Hartford’s XL Center, extending the tour by ten days. In between, Nicks will visit Hollywood, Florida; Detroit; Portland, Oregon; Sacramento; Atlantic City; and Charlotte, mixing new arenas with earlier announcements. Seventeen shows now pack the full season.
Schedule Changes and Joel Exit
Some of the new stops replace stadium dates originally planned with pianist Billy Joel, who withdrew after announcing a brain disorder in May. With Joel sidelined, promoters shifted several shows from football‑size venues to indoor arenas, giving Nicks sole headline status. The smaller rooms preserve ticket holders’ seats while improving production sightlines, according to Live Nation.
Advance buzz suggests steady demand. Early presale data supplied by Ticketmaster show several sections gone within minutes for Brooklyn, Detroit, and Sacramento. Live Nation expects additional inventory to release once production holds are finalized. Longtime listeners welcome a full‑length Stevie Nicks set, including solo classics and select Fleetwood Mac favorites, following last year’s shorter festival appearances.
Ticket Details and Pricing
Presale access for the eight new concerts begins Wednesday at 10 a.m. local time through Live Nation’s LNCDPRESALE code, with Citi cardmember windows starting one hour earlier. General public on‑sale follows Friday at 10 a.m. Base prices range from $55, plus fees, for upper‑level seats to $275 for floor tickets. Dynamic pricing may raise select spots.
VIP experiences, including soundcheck access and exclusive merchandise, are offered at select arenas. Barclays Center lists a “Gold Dust Woman” bundle featuring early entry, photo backdrop, and lithograph. Fans seeking resale options are advised to use Ticketmaster’s platform, which caps price increases under ticket laws. Parking and hospitality bundles become available closer to show dates.
What to Expect on Stage
Set‑list reports from last year’s arena run indicate Nicks opens with “Outside the Rain,” segues into “Dreams,” and closes on “Edge of Seventeen.” She usually performs Tom Petty’s “Free Fallin’” as a tribute, followed by “Rhiannon.” Band members include longtime guitarist Waddy Wachtel, keyboardist Darrell Smith, and a three‑voice backing section recreating Fleetwood Mac harmonies live.
Production designers promise an updated video wall featuring archival clips of Nicks’ career, including unseen Bella Donna session footage. Lighting cues will shift from warm golds on classic material to deep blues during newer tracks such as “Show Them the Way.” Merch stands will stock apparel alongside rereleased vinyl editions of Trouble in Shangri‑La and posters.
