Legends on tour

No Rumours here: Lindsey Buckingham to play intimate show at Antone's

Earlier this summer, we celebrated the 35th anniversary of one of rock n' roll's most iconic albums: Rumours.

On the heels of this milestone, Fleetwood Mac front man Lindsey Buckingham is celebrating his own legacy with a cross-country tour that just got a second wind. Announced last week, the tour — An Intimate Night with Lindsey Buckingham — has been extended by six weeks, and Austin is lucky enough to be added to the list.

Buckingham won't take stage at the Erwin Center or any other large-scale chameleon venue. He'll settle into Austin's home of the blues, Antone's, for an intimate night of guitar picking and tunes.

The tour is definitely a monumental addition to any music lover's ticket stub collection. Because on Wednesday, August 22, Buckingham won't take stage at the Erwin Center or any other large-scale chameleon venue. He'll settle into Austin's home of the blues, Antone's, for an intimate night of guitar picking and tunes.

Not surprisingly, Buckingham's Austin gig is selling fast, but there are still some tickets available. For around $50.00, you can buy a golden ticket for a night that "Dreams" are made of: a night with a legend in one of Austin's legendary music homes.

The tour promises to run the gamut of Buckingham's decades-long career, from his latest solo album, Seeds We Sow, all the way back to the Fleetwood Mac anthems that made them music gods. One can hope for a reprise of "Rhiannon" and "You Make Loving Fun."

So while you scurry to secure tickets to this one-night-only affair, we'll leave you with a favorite from Rumours. Because who doesn't love mid-week throwback to pure, unadulterated '70s rock?

Editor's note: A lot happened this week, so here's your chance to get caught up. Read on for the week's most popular headlines. Looking for the best things to do this weekend? Find that list here.

1. New Braunfels sausage and beer extravaganza Wurstfest returns for 2024. German culture is on display in many subtle ways throughout Texas' historic towns; Wurstfest is not one of those ways. This oompah-driven, battered-and-fried, lederhosen-clad beer and sausage festival is coming back to New Braunfels for its annual festivities November 1-10.

2. Sixth Street icehouse branches out with posh, old-school sports club. There’s no shortage of spots to grab a drink in East Austin. But despite the area’s wide range of bar offerings — from cocktail lounges to dives — it comes up surprisingly short on sports bars. Enter Whiskey Tango Foxtrot (WTF) Sporting Club, which is taking over the giant East 7th space vacated earlier this year by Easy Tiger.

3. Austin's famous Katz's makes a comeback in the same location. There is good news this week for all Austinites pining for a simpler — and if you ask them, better — Austin of the past. The beloved West 6th Street eatery Katz's is making a comeback more than 10 years after it famously closed. Someone in the Katz family has re-purchased the original location and is hoping to bring back the good old days.

4. Popular Austin hospitality group stirs up sunny new daytime cafe. Since debuting in 2009, Jack Allen’s Kitchen’s weekend brunch has been a staple of Austin’s many best-of lists. Now, owners Jack Gilmore and Tom Kamm are upping the ante. The restaurateurs have founded a new concept, Day Maker Half Day Café, to bring that AM magic seven days a week.

5. Spectacular Austin Trail of Lights gets even more festive with weddings. Locals who feel sentimental about the 60-year-old Austin Trail of Lights now have a shimmering new way to make it part of their personal stories. Surely many have proposed to partners at the Christmas installation, but now they can get married there, too.
