Fleetwood Mac, the multi-Grammy winning, multi-platinum Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees is back on the road for the first time in five years following several successful solo projects.

“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.
