An Open Letter: Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac Announce 2026 Farewell Tour — “One Last Ride” Marks the End of a Rock Legend’s Era – Dates and Cities Revealed
To Our Beloved Fans,
For over five decades, the name Fleetwood Mac has carried with it not only music, but a spirit, a story, and a journey we have all shared together. From smoky clubs in London to the towering stadiums of America, from whispered ballads to roaring anthems that shook the walls of arenas, we have lived a lifetime with you by our side. Today, with both pride and bittersweet emotion, we announce that the time has come for our final chapter: The 2026 Farewell Tour — “One Last Ride.”
This is not merely another tour. It is a celebration of everything we’ve built, everything we’ve endured, and everything you have carried with us. It is our way of saying goodbye properly, city by city, note by note, memory by memory.
A Legacy Shared With You
Fleetwood Mac has always been more than a band — it has been a family, with all the love, conflict, and forgiveness that comes with it. You, our fans, became part of that family long ago. You carried Rumours into your homes and made it the soundtrack of heartbreak and healing. You turned Landslide into a hymn of life’s fragile beauty. You lifted Go Your Own Way into an anthem of resilience.
And Stevie — our poet, our gypsy soul — has poured her heart into every verse, every whispered line, every soaring chorus. Her decision to join us on this farewell journey makes One Last Ride not just Fleetwood Mac’s goodbye, but hers too.
Why Now?
Time has its way of telling the truth. The road has been kind to us, but it has also been long. The years of touring, creating, and pushing boundaries have brought joy beyond measure, but they have also reminded us of life’s fragility. With Christine McVie’s passing still felt so deeply, we are reminded that nothing lasts forever, not even legends.
We do not want to fade away quietly. Instead, we choose to take the stage one last time — to see your faces, to feel your voices rise with ours, to create the final chapter together in the way it deserves.
“One Last Ride” — The Journey Ahead
The farewell tour will span across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia in 2026. We will begin in Los Angeles in March, the city where so much of our history was written, and we will close in London in December, where it all began. In between, we will visit the cities that carried our songs into immortality — New York, Chicago, Sydney, Tokyo, Berlin, Paris, Toronto, Nashville, Dublin, and countless more.
Each night will be a celebration of every era of Fleetwood Mac — from the blues-soaked early years to the shimmering harmonies of the 1970s, from the storms of the 1980s to the revival of the 1990s, and into the enduring legacy of today.
What to Expect
We promise nothing less than everything we have. The stage will carry our stories, our struggles, and our triumphs. Expect to hear the songs you love most — the ones you’ve played on vinyl, on cassette, on CD, on digital streams. But expect surprises too, rare gems and deep cuts that shaped us as much as the hits did.
And above all, expect honesty. Every note we play in 2026 will be played with the knowledge that it is the last. That kind of truth carries a power you can’t manufacture — it only comes when the end is near.
A Thank You Beyond Words
To our fans — whether you were there in 1967 or whether you discovered us yesterday — you are the reason we lasted this long. Your voices have carried us, your loyalty has sustained us, your love has healed us. We cannot repay what you have given, but we can give you this: one last ride, one final chance to sing together.
To Christine, whose spirit will be with us every night, we dedicate this farewell. Her music, her voice, her grace — they remain forever in our hearts.
The Curtain Falls
So here we are, standing on the edge of goodbye. Fleetwood Mac has lived lifetimes within lifetimes, but the time has come to close the book with the dignity and beauty it deserves.
One Last Ride is not the end of music, not the end of memories, not the end of what we mean to one another. It is simply the end of the road we travel together on stage.
We cannot wait to see you, to hear you, and to thank you — properly, loudly, and forever.
With love and gratitude,
Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac
