    An Evening with Fleetwood Mask

    Blue Note Hawaii, 2339 Kalakaua Ave, Honolulu
    See details

    At Blue Note Hawaii, Fleetwood Mask delivers a meticulously crafted tribute to Fleetwood Mac, uniquely endorsed by founding member Mick Fleetwood, who has publicly praised the group for honoring the band’s legacy with care and precision. Formed over a decade ago and touring the United States every year since, the ensemble recreates the look, sound, and feel of the originals through character-true performances, detailed staging, and faithful sound. Authenticity is at the core of the production. Musicians perform with period-correct instruments, gear, and wardrobe, and at many performances the band incorporates original touring equipment and instruments once used onstage by Fleetwood Mac. The group’s penguin emblem was created by Larry Vigon, the designer behind landmark Fleetwood Mac album artwork and solo projects by Christine McVie, Mick Fleetwood, and Lindsey Buckingham. The concert spans signature hits, beloved favorites, and deep cuts. The production may also spotlight distinct eras of the band’s history, with dedicated nods to the 1980 Tusk tour, the 1982 Mirage tour, and the 1997 The Dance reunion.
