Stevie Nicks, the enduring enchantress of rock, has indeed announced a monumental “Down Under” tour for 2025—but the details have sparked a wave of speculation and, in some corners, a swath of confusion. If you’ve caught wind of buzz around a “Queen’s Queensland” stint before the end of November, here’s what you need to know.
On the one hand, the real deal: “The Moonlight Tour: Down Under 2025” is firmly set for September through November, covering Australia’s major cities from Sydney and Melbourne to Adelaide, Brisbane, and Perth. This marks the most extensive Australian outing of Stevie’s solo career, sending fans into a dreamlike frenzy.
Within that framework, house-party-like rumors of a Queensland leg prior to November are overblown. The only confirmed appearance in QLD is a Day on the Green set at Sirromet Wines, near Brisbane, scheduled for November 12, 2025. No earlier Queensland concerts with the genuine artist have been announced.

So where might those whispers originate? Enter the DREAMS – Fleetwood Mac & Stevie Nicks Tribute Show. A beloved ensemble led by Nikki Canale as the “Spirit of Stevie,” it’s delivered a slew of sensational performances across QLD—in March 2025, Beaudesert and Newstead played host, while Cairns welcomed the tribute in November 2024. The tribute is truly “unparalleled in the world of ‘Tribute Stevies’ ” and captures the essence and theatrical delivery of Stevie’s magic on stage.
The conflation of the tribute shows with an actual tour date makes sense—especially if social chatter didn’t differentiate. Tributes like *DREAMS* generate enormous buzz, often with sold-out runs across regional venues. Yet the distinction is critical: one celebrates the legacy through homage, while the other is the living legend herself, in sound and in spirit.
So, in answer to the rumor: Stevie Nicks has not announced any genuine Queensland performances before the end of November—except for the November 12 Day on the Green appearance. That earlier buzz likely stems from tribute show dates or misreported speculation.
That said, the confirmed tour—with sweeping stage design, nostalgic setlists blending Fleetwood Mac anthems and solo classics, and whispers of surprise guests—promises to be an unforgettable chapter in the lore of rock royalty. Fans in Queensland will indeed get their moment to see the real shimmering gypsy queen—but mark your calendars for November 12, 2025, and prepare for a spellbinding night under the stars.
