Stevie Nicks Hits the Road with New Tour
Witchy and wonderful Stevie Nicks, classic rock icon and frontwoman of Fleetwood Mac, will be hitting the road this summer on a nine-city solo tour. The dates run concurrently with her joint stadium tour with fellow rock icon Billy Joel.
Nicks last toured in 2024 on a sprawling multiple-city tour, for which the singer consistently added dates. This new solo tour will start in August and end in mid-October, after which she’ll team up with the “Piano Man” hitmaker for a few concerts.
While announcing the tour on Instagram, Nicks wrote, “More solo shows are on the way in 2025 — I can’t wait to share these nights with you.”
The singer last performed at the Los Angeles Fire Aid benefit concert in January. Prior to that, she also performed her new song, “The Lighthouse,” on Saturday Night Live and Jimmy Kimmel Tonight, a female empowerment anthem she wrote in response to the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
The powerful track became Nicks’ first proper release of new material since “Show Them The Way” in 2020. When releasing “The Lighthouse,” Nicks attested that she had an abortion in 1979 that ultimately helped the trajectory of her career with Fleetwood Mac. At the time, she was in a relationship with Don Henley, vocalist for The Eagles.
In an interview with CBS Sunday Morning, Nicks revealed, “I’m like, ‘This can’t be happening.’ Fleetwood Mac is three years in and it’s big. And we’re going into our third album. It was like, ‘Oh, no no no no no.’ It would have destroyed Fleetwood Mac. Absolutely.”
Don’t let them take your power.

She also felt it was necessary to use her platform to fight for the legal right to obtain an abortion. She continued, “I’m like, ‘Well, I have a platform. I tell a good story, so maybe I should try to do something.’ I was also there. I was, ‘Been there, done that.'”
The singer will perform her hits and deep cuts in several American cities and Toronto, Canada. Before her first solo date in Boston, the “Edge of Seventeen” songstress will share the stage with Billy Joel at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. The duo shared the stage in the past on Joel’s “Two Icons, One Night” tour, which ran for one year.
While she has not released new material since “The Lighthouse,” Nicks has gone on the record confirming that she has been in the studio, and potentially has an album in the works, commenting, “At the end of pandemic, I finally started to write again. I wrote a song called “The Vampire’s Wife,” which is one of the best things I’ve ever written. So maybe that’s the beginning of an album.”
The presale for the tour starts on April 17. General admission tickets go on sale April 18, and you can sign up by visiting her website.
