Fleetwood Mac, Meat Loaf gigs in sight
By PATRICK McDONALD
17oct03

SEVENTIES rock acts Fleetwood Mac and Meat Loaf are considering Adelaide performances despite the city being left off their initial national tour itineraries.

There were also negotiations for Meat Loaf to perform at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre on March 10.

SACA spokeswoman Jane Elliot confirmed yesterday that a market research company had been hired to "gauge" members' reaction, but would not confirm whether the SACA was in any negotiations to bring either bands to Adelaide or if any decision had been made.

Fleetwood Mac will start their tour in Newcastle on February 16 and tickets went on sale last month for Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney shows.

Meat Loaf will play the same cities from February 20 and tickets went on sale this week.

During a visit to Australia last week, Meat Loaf said he would push for an Adelaide concert to be included.

"That's what I said the other day – why aren't we coming to Adelaide? I mean, I've always played Adelaide," he said.
