Stevie Nicks has added a pair of shows at the Ravinia Festival in Highland Park, IL on September 8th and 10th. Though the shows have yet to be confirmed by Stevie herself, they already appear on Ravinia’s official calendar.
Tickets to 2022 season go on sale to the public on May 4. Donors get early access to tickets as well as discounts.
On Sunday night, Stevie performed a second show at the Ravinia Festival in Highland Park, IL.
After starting off the night with “Gold and Braid,” Stevie joked that she thought Ravinia sounded like one of the Seven Kingdoms on Game of Thrones, a reference to the popular HBO series of which Stevie is a big fan. She also dropped a “white witch” reference, asking the audience for a broom so she could fly over to those sitting in the lawn area and sing to them.

Much love and thanks to Theresa Barr who shared these videos!

“So this little bitty song is one more thing to say dreams come true — they do. What did I know? I was so young and I just like, just right off the top of my head, wrote it down, put it in my pocket, put some guitar on it. So anyway, you can do it. This is ‘Landslide.’”
