Australian Music Tour includes ticket to Eagles concert

My family has traveled all over the world and I've been on a lot of tours.... but never have I seen a tour like this one!

This "Good Vibrations" tour of Los Angeles is put on by "Rock and Pop Tours" and originates in Australia... and actually includes a ticket to see the Eagles at the Hollywood Bowl as part of the deal! It takes you to other musical landmarks as well such as the Troubadour, but it's the Eagles ticket that got the news item onto this front page.

More info on the tour site.

The latest from Timothy on the Fleetwood Mac/Eagles tour: "it appears that that is not happening"

Timothy gave an interview today during which he said the following (transcribed by Sharon aka trackaghost from The Ledge):

Simon Mayo: "There was talk of The Eagles doing a stadium tour with Fleetwood Mac this year. Is there any chance of that happening?"

Timothy: "Well, erm, I just emailed our manager this morning and asked him that question - what we were doing during this summer and I didn't specifically ask him that but he did, he told me about that and it appears that that is not happening. So all these big rumours are just simply rumours. I think that it was being pursued for a while, that was the reality, but I don't think it's gonna happen. But I think we are still going to go out this summer but I'm not exactly sure with who or with anybody."

Simon Mayo: "So there's a chance The Eagles might be touring with another band?"

Timothy: "I think so, I think it's all up in the air at the moment. We are playing by ourselves, just us, during the Spring. We're starting at the Hollywood Bowl in April and we're gonna do a handful of shows and then we're going to take a break to probably mid-summer. I don't know what that schedule is yet."

Aw, man! I'm really disappointed. It would have been incredible!

Rolling Stone mentions Eagles/Fleetwood Mac tour

While no official announcement has yet been made, the most recent issue of Rolling Stone states that the "Eagles and Fleetwood Mac are planning a joint tour for next summer. The outing will hit stadiums and arenas, and will include multinight stands in some markets." (Thanks Shadowland!)
