The 24 Karat Gold Tour was the seventeenth concert tour by American singer-songwriter and Fleetwood Mac vocalist Stevie Nicks. The tour was joined by special guest The Pretenders and it was launched in support of Nicks' 2014 studio album . The tour officially began on October 25, 2016 in Phoenix, Arizona at the Talking Stick Resort Arena, and it concluded on November 24, 2017 in Dunedin at the Forsyth Barr Stadium, lasting over one year.

Background

On September 6, 2016, Nicks announced a leg of 27 shows in North American with The Pretenders in support of her 2014 studio album, .[1] [2] Due to demand more dates were gradually added, including an entire second North America leg which was announced on December 5, 2016 that extended the tour into 2017.[3] In 2017 Nicks also performed at various festivals in North America and appeared at British Summer Time in London, which was the sole European date of the tour.[4] On August 10, 2017, Nicks announced a last leg of shows with The Pretenders in Australia and New Zealand. The final leg took place in November 2017 and concluded with a show at Forsyth Barr Stadium.[5] [6]

In July 2020, rumors began to spread about a possible concert video release after an official 24 Karat Gold Tour film screening event was posted online before being quickly deleted by cinema sites, possibly awaiting official announcement from Nicks' team. The listing read: "A concert performance by the woman with one of the most recognizable voices in music history. Stevie's string of hits songs as a solo artist and as a part of rock legends Fleetwood Mac has provided the soundtrack of our lives. Filmed over the last two shows of her solo tour including hits Edge of Seventeen, Rhiannon & Landslide and including cinema exclusive content of Stevie discussing personal moments with Tom Petty, Prince. (Subtitles: English, German, French, Italian) The event comes with the full support of the Stevie Nicks and the Fleetwood Mac teams and record labels."[7] It is further speculated that film screenings were ultimately cancelled due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Shows in March 2017 were also professionally filmed and recorded according to concert-goers.

On September 10, 2020, it was announced that a live album of the 24 Karat Gold tour is to be released on vinyl, exclusively through Barnes & Noble on November 20, 2020.[8]
