Stevie Nicks Drops Buckingham Nicks Reissue as Tour Sparks Ticket Frenzy and Fleetwood Mac Echoes

Hey there, Avery Sinclair here, ready to spill the tea without catching fire from the heat of hype. A vintage vinyl shockwave just hit the shelves: Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham have finally given Buckingham Nicks a second life, with the long-lost 1973 ten-track album re-released and ready to haunt the airwaves again. If you’ve ever wondered what a pre-Fleetwood Mac magic spell sounded like, wonder no more, because this is the sound that prepped a world for a certain quartet of harmony and drama. The re-release, announced two months prior to its Friday, September 19 drop, is here to remind us all that sometimes the roots of rock mythology grow out of a dusty studio and a stubborn sense of partnership that refuses to stay buried.

Buckingham and Nicks, famously entwined both musically and romantically, delivered a project that now reads like prophecy with the benefit of hindsight. The album boasts a mix of gentle strums and exploratory guitar work that hints at the larger, brighter wrecking ball they would become as Fleetwood Mac. Standout tracks like Crying In The Night, Together with a dreamy chorus you find yourself singing long after the needle lifts, Without a Leg to Stand On which leans into luminous harmonies, Long Distance Winner that lives in a harder-edged groove, and Don’t Let Me Down Again, a muscular jam that could give any 1970s rock radio a run for its money, show that the duo were cooking something larger than a simple side project. And then there is the mystic epic Frozen Love, which, according to lore, nudged Mick Fleetwood toward inviting them to join Fleetwood Mac. Yes, the rumor mill did not just whisper this one into the void; it’s the tale that has funded many a Fleetwood Mac fan theory since the dawn of internet forums.

Buckingham himself spoke up via Instagram, claiming a heartfelt happiness at the album’s resurrection and expressing a wish that fans will adore the re-release as much as they did the original dream. He’s not currently announcing a tour for Buckingham Nicks, which makes sense given the constellation of gigs around this era, but the release is likely to breath new life into the conversation around the pair. Meanwhile, Stevie Nicks is actively circling a 2025 tour, with a slate of headline dates at big-name North American venues from October through December. The plan includes stops at Atlantic City’s Boardwalk Hall and Brooklyn’s Barclays Center among others, and Nicks herself has posted a breezy note on social media about getting back on the road and seeing fans soon.

What does this mean for fans who want a live taste of the Buckingham Nicks magic? Tickets are already on sale for the 2025 run, with Vivid Seats and other secondary markets listing prices that range from roughly $108 to the high hundreds depending on the venue and seating. The lowest-price tickets currently floating in the market sit in the low-to-mid hundreds, which is standard for a star-studded, seat-filling tour from a legend who’s spent decades crafting both pop anthems and moody ballads that insist on being sung at the top of one’s lungs. The article notes that it’s unclear which Buckingham Nicks tracks, if any, will surface in a live set, but fans are hopeful that a sprinkling of Fleetwood Mac favorites—think Rhiannon, Landslide, and Gold Dust Woman—might make an appearance alongside the solo work that made Nicks a headline fixture for generations.

In the end, the Buckingham Nicks re-release feels less like a vanity project and more like a rite of passage for a pair whose influence still looms large over the genre. The archival release serves as a reminder that we don’t always get a clean, pristine version of past masterpieces, but we do get the chance to press play on a pivotal moment in rock history and hear the room where it all began.

What to watch next? Will the 2025 tour prove that the duo’s chemistry still crackles on modern stages, or will the set lean heavily on Fleetwood Mac staples? Only time—and the ticket queue—will tell.
