This Tribute To Fleetwood Mac Will Light Up The Athenaeum Stage With “Dreams” And More Hits
Timeless classics performed by a piano-violin duo in the light of hundreds of glowing candles in one of Melbourne's most prominent theatres. Get your tickets here.
Fleetwood Mac has found new fans thanks to a dude skating to work, drinking cranberry juice and singing along to “Dreams” on TikTok. Now, their best of will be given the Candlelight treatment in one of Victoria’s oldest public institutions, the Melbourne Athenaeum.
It’s a night not to be missed for fans both new and old.
Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours is often listed as one of the greatest albums of all time and the hit single “Dreams” was just that, a hit single that propelled the band’s fame even further.
Forty-odd years after its release, though, you can join pianist Chai Jie Low and violinist Rollin Zhao for a glowing performance surrounded by hundreds of candles. Songs from the “culturally, historically, or artistically significant” dubbed album Rumours include the US number-one hit “Dreams” as well as “The Chain”, “Go Your Own Way”, “You Make Loving Fun”, “Don’t Stop” and “Never Going Back Again”.
Other songs by Fleetwood Mac to feature in the 60-65 minute illuminated performance include the ultra-singable “Everywhere”, the Stevie Nicks’ signature tune “Rhiannon”, the emotional “Landslide” and the love song “Say You Love Me” as well as a few others that will certainly wind back the clock and have you lip-syncing just like Nathan Apodaca—Fleetwood Mac’s viral-hit sensation.
Candlelight: Best of Fleetwood Mac takes place on Saturday 11 June at the Athenaeum Theatre on Collins Street. There will be two performances on the night at 6:30pm and 8:30pm with doors opening thirty minutes prior to each performance so that audiences can come and take in the almost two-century history of where they’re sitting as they await for “Dreams” to resound.
