Fleetwood Mac have added 29 more shows to their upcoming Greatest Hits "

"We are extremely pleased with the Fleetwood Mac sales to date," said Jason Garner, Chief Executive Officer of Global Music at Live Nation. "Their success is another example of the strength of the 2009 concert season."
The sure to be historic "Unleashed" Tour, beginning on March 1st in Pittsburgh, is an epic cross-country trek featuring 44 shows in major markets. The tour will include all of the Mac's many greatest hits from over the course of the band's extraordinary career.

"We love our band and think the title of the tour "UNLEASHED" perfectly describes how we all feel when we get on stage together - especially in 2009. We're so happy to get back out on the road, perform everyone's favorite songs and see our fans," said the band in a joint statement.
In other great Fleetwood Mac news, the iconographic 'RUMOURS' CD (certified Diamond signifying sales of over 10 million units by the RIAA) is scheduled to be re-released as part of a special CD/DVD boxed set on Reprise Records in conjunction with the tour dates.
