UPDATED: Billy Joel, Stevie Nicks launch Two Icons One Night tour

UPDATED — New show announcement!

March 10, 2023

On Friday night, Billy Joel and Stevie Nicks kicked off the TWO ICONS ONE NIGHT co-headlining tour at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, a suburb of Los Angeles. Surprisingly, it was the first time the two living legends had ever performed together, despite both artists starting their professional careers around the same time in the early 1970s.

Hitting the stage first, Stevie performed her usual crowd-pleasing set of solo hits (“If Anyone Falls,” “Stand Back,” “Edge of Seventeen“) and Fleetwood Mac favorites (“Dreams,” “Gypsy,” “Gold Dust Woman“).

Previewing her highly anticipated solo tour, which debuts next Wednesday in Seattle, Stevie added the rocker “Fall from Grace,” from Trouble in Shangri-La, and the majestic “Sara,” from Fleetwood Mac‘s Tusk (replacing deep cuts “Enchanted” and “Solider’s Angel” from last year’s set). Stevie’s solo tour will play concurrently with the Two Icons One Night shows. 

As expected, Billy joined Stevie onstage for her bluesy duet “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around,” originally recorded with Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers for Bella Donna. Billy handled the big vocal part well, as the two singers exchanged smiles throughout the song.

Other guest vocalists, who have sung on the 1981 hit single in recent years, include Chrissie Hynde, Keith Urban and Harry Styles.

Stevie returned to the stage during Billy’s set, singing on the tender piano ballad “And So It Goes,” from his Storm Front (1989) album.

Stevie covered Buffalo Springfield‘s track “For What It’s Worth” (from 1966) and released it as a digital single last May.

For the first of two encores, Stevie performed “Rhiannon” wearing a signature long black chiffon wrap. 

During the second encore, “Landslide,” Stevie paid tribute to late Fleetwood Mac member Christine McVie, who passed away last November. Visibly emotional, she dedicated the song to Christine, saying “I have to imagine she’s still here. It’s all I can do.” In tears, Stevie was unable to sing the last word of the song and put her head down for a few moments.

Pictures of her and Christine captured over the years poignantly displayed on the large monitor at the back of the stage.
