Due to the illness of Stevie Nicks, Fleetwood Mac has just announced the postponement of four upcoming North American tour dates and their performance at Jazz Fest on May 2. Stay tuned for updates about May 2 talent and tickets.

April 8, 2019 Singer Stevie Nicks is reportedly suffering from the flu.
The fest announced last week it had added the band, to take the final slot at the Acura stage on the opening of the festival's second weekend.
That spot opened when The Rolling Stones had to cancel its tour. Mick Jagger's doctors ordered him off the stage to undergo a heart valve replacement. The cancellation caused Jazz Fest to refund tickets ranging from $185 to $250.
The May 2 date also features performances from Tom Jones, Ziggy Marley, Ivan Neville's Dumpstaphunk, Mavis Staples, and more.
