The concert bookings keep coming for the new Milwaukee Bucks arena. The Wisconsin Entertainment and Sports Center announced on Wednesday it will host "An Evening with Fleetwood Mac" on Sunday, Oct. 28.
The tour, produced by Live Nation, will feature the recently announced lineup of Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie along with newcomers Mike Campbell and Neil Finn.
Tickets for the Fleetwood Mac show at the new world-class arena, scheduled to open this fall, will go on sale to the public on Friday, May 4 at 10 a.m. and can be purchased here.
"Our ‘Dreams’ have been realized as we happily announce that Fleetwood Mac will be performing at the new arena in October," WESC General Manager Raj Saha said in a statement. "We are really looking forward to a great night."
Fleetwood Mac was founded by Peter Green in 1967 and named after Mick Fleetwood and John McVie. After Peter Green left in 1969, Fleetwood and McVie remained as original members, and the band has since featured a cast of brilliant talents. Notably, Christine McVie joined the band in 1970, with Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham joining in 1974.
Over the last half-decade, Fleetwood Mac has sold more than 100 million records worldwide and the Grammy award-winning band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998.
Born in Milwaukee but a product of Shorewood High School (go ‘Hounds!) and Northwestern University (go ‘Cats!), Jimmy never knew the schoolboy bliss of cheering for a winning football, basketball or baseball team. So he ditched being a fan in order to cover sports professionally - occasionally objectively, always passionately. He's lived in Chicago, New York and Dallas, but now resides again in his beloved Brew City and is an ardent attacker of the notorious Milwaukee Inferiority Complex.
After interning at print publications like Birds and Blooms (official motto: "America's #1 backyard birding and gardening magazine!"), Sports Illustrated (unofficial motto: "Subscribe and save up to 90% off the cover price!") and The Dallas Morning News (a newspaper!), Jimmy worked for web outlets like CBSSports.com, where he was a Packers beat reporter, and FOX Sports Wisconsin, where he managed digital content. He's a proponent and frequent user of em dashes, parenthetical asides, descriptive appositives and, really, anything that makes his sentences longer and more needlessly complex.
Jimmy appreciates references to late '90s Brewers and Bucks players and is the curator of the unofficial John Jaha Hall of Fame. He also enjoys running, biking and soccer, but isn't too annoying about them. He writes about sports - both mainstream and unconventional - and non-sports, including history, music, food, art and even golf (just kidding!), and welcomes reader suggestions for off-the-beaten-path story ideas.
