Tampa Prepares for a Spellbound Evening
The reigning queen of rock and roll is heading to the bay. As part of her much-anticipated Live in Concert tour, Stevie Nicks is performing across the United States, bringing Fleetwood Mac classics and solo hits everywhere, including Florida. Soon, Tampa will become spellbound and bask in her hypnotizing music.
The Revival of Buckingham Nicks
Even on tour, Nicks continues to supply fans with material, and her latest release is a callback to her beginnings. Fifty years after its debut, Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham have remastered their only collaborative album, Buckingham Nicks. This marks the first time it has ever been available on CD and vinyl. This re-release is the stamp of reviving classics, allowing it to thrive in the past and now the present.
Though initially a commercial failure, the remastered version rose to success, debuting at number three on the US Billboard Charts. Songs such as “Frozen Love” earned praise from many, including the duo’s ex-band member Mick Fleetwood. Fleetwood described it as “magic” both for its original release and for its re-debut, emphasizing how this album persisted with excellence. To honor one’s roots is to show appreciation for the journey, giving its history the space to shine.
Stevie’s Setlist: Homage to Inspirations and Her Career
Like many of her shows, Nicks has enchanted audiences like no other for the past sixty years of her career. Whether a diehard fan from the beginning, or newer to her fanbase, everyone can expect to hear Fleetwood Mac heart-wrenchers like “Landslide” and iconic solo songs like “Edge of Seventeen”. Her set list is certain to entertain and get Tampa singing along.
Outside of her work as a band member and solo artist, Nicks pays homage to rock music icon Tom Petty, performing a cover of his hit “Free Fallin’” as well as their song “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around” during her tour. Petty has been a source of inspiration for Nicks throughout her career as he’s become one of her favorite rock stars, and Tampa feels the same way.
Every year on his birthday, WMNF presents the Annual Tom Petty Birthday Tribute Show. Born and raised in Florida, Petty has become a Floridian legend, elevating the world of rock music. Just like Nicks, we deeply appreciate Tom Petty for everything he’s done throughout his life, leaving an everlasting mark on Florida’s rock community.
Ready to Rock the Bay
In just a couple of weeks, Nicks will hit the stage ready to stun all of Tampa with her legendary discography. Performing at the Benchmark International Arena on December 7, 2025, Nicks is sure to put Tampa in a trance.
