The iconic rock and roll hitmakers will return with the Crowded House frontman replacing Lindsey Buckingham.

Having always received a warm welcome on Australia’s touring circuit, it should come as no major surprise that veteran rockers Fleetwood Mac are once again on their way Down Under for a run of arena shows this August. This time, however, it will be without longtime singer/guitarist Lindsey Buckingham and with New Zealand legend Neil Finn strumming and crooning instead.

Finn has been playing with the band since 2018 when (depending on who you believe) Buckingham was kicked out for slowing down the group’s touring plans/was unfairly dismissed for no reason. Whatever you choose to believe, you’ll be seeing Neil Finn up there on stage with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers guitarist Mike Campbell, Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie.
