After more than five decades of redefining rock and shaping the sonic soul of generations, Fleetwood Mac has officially announced their 2026 Farewell Tour, aptly titled One Last Ride. The news broke early this morning via a unified social media statement from the band, accompanied by a video montage of archival footage set to their iconic track “Landslide.” For millions of fans across the globe, it marks the closing chapter of one of the most storied careers in music history.
The band’s statement reads: “It’s been an unforgettable journey. Through love, chaos, change, and harmony, we’ve shared our music with the world. ‘One Last Ride’ is our way of saying thank you—and goodbye—with hearts full of gratitude and guitars still ringing.” Longtime members Mick Fleetwood, Stevie Nicks, and Christine McVie (in archival tribute) are all honored in the tour branding, with the remaining members promising a heartfelt, immersive experience.
Fleetwood Mac, known for their seismic influence on rock and pop music alike, have weathered internal storms and shifting lineups for decades, but always returned to the stage with unmatched energy. Their 1977 masterpiece Rumours remains one of the best-selling albums of all time, and their timeless hits—“Dreams,” “Go Your Own Way,” “The Chain”—continue to resonate with new generations of listeners thanks to TikTok, streaming, and enduring cultural relevance.
The One Last Ride tour is slated to begin in June 2026 in Dublin, Ireland, before making its way through Europe and North America. Major stops include London’s Wembley Stadium, Paris’ Accor Arena, New York’s Madison Square Garden, Chicago’s United Center, and Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium. A full list of cities and dates has been revealed on the band’s official website, with pre-sale access launching next week.
Stevie Nicks, now widely regarded as rock’s reigning mystic queen, shared a personal message alongside the announcement: “This tour is a love letter. To the band, to the songs, and most importantly—to you. I never thought I’d say goodbye to the stage, but this feels right. We want to end this the way it began—with music, magic, and a little mystery.”
Mick Fleetwood, the band’s founding heartbeat and master of rhythm, added, “It’s not just a farewell—it’s a celebration. We’re not mourning the end. We’re dancing it out, one city at a time.” He also confirmed that a rotating cast of guest performers and old collaborators will be joining the band throughout the tour, including appearances by former member Lindsey Buckingham and tributes to Christine McVie, who passed away in 2022.
In addition to the live performances, Fleetwood Mac will be releasing a companion farewell tour documentary and box set later in the year. Titled The Final Chain, the release will include never-before-seen rehearsal footage, rare live recordings, handwritten lyric drafts, and intimate interviews chronicling the band’s remarkable history.
The farewell tour will also feature reimagined arrangements of classic tracks alongside deep cuts that haven’t been played live in decades. Fans can expect fresh versions of songs like “Sisters of the Moon,” “Songbird,” and “Seven Wonders,” layered with orchestral flourishes, new visuals, and tributes to the band’s evolving legacy.
Reaction across social media has been swift and emotional. Artists such as Harry Styles, Florence Welch, and Brandi Carlile—each of whom cite Fleetwood Mac as a major influence—shared heartfelt tributes. “I owe my songwriting soul to them,” Carlile posted on Instagram. “Fleetwood Mac is forever, no matter what stage they’re on.”
Tickets for One Last Ride are expected to sell out within minutes. VIP packages, including meet-and-greet opportunities and exclusive merch, will be made available, with portions of proceeds going to mental health and music education charities chosen by the band. A special commemorative vinyl press of Rumours is also in production, featuring updated artwork from Stevie Nicks’ personal sketchbook.
As Fleetwood Mac prepares to take their final bow, fans around the world brace for a tour that promises to be more than just a concert—it’s a collective goodbye, a time capsule of heartache, harmony, and the sheer poetry of survival. One Last Ride is not just a farewell to a band. It’s a farewell to an era. But the echoes of their music will live on forever, like a whisper in the wind.
