As Fleetwood Mac tease potential reunion, which bands would we love to see follow suit?

It’s the year of the reunion, apparently — as Fleetwood Mac’s Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks have teased a potential reassembly of the band.

Lindsey and Stevie, who were bandmates and a couple before their sensational breakup (and the incredible album that coincided with it), shared a cryptic Instagram post from their respective Instagrams that were lyrics to their joint song Frozen Love, which featured on their sole album as a duo, Buckingham Nicks.

The rumour mill has since spun into overdrive, and with Oasis going on their sell out reunion tour 16 years after Noel and Liam’s fistfight that caused the elder Gallagher to quit, fans are clamouring for reunions; but who else could reunite in the near future?

We might as well start with the most likely one, as there is actually far more to the story than a cryptic Instagram post.

Fleetwood Mac have broken up and reunited more times than most could remember, with the final ‘breakup’ coming in tragic circumstances, following the passing of Christine McVie in 2022.

While Mick Fleetwood said that the band was done and Stevie Nicks said she saw no reason to continue the band following Christine’s death, Mick’s stance changed back in September, when he said he’d be up to re-assemble the band. And with Stevie and Lyndsey’s post on Instagram appearing to hint at something, fans of the rock band are waiting with baited breath to see what comes next.

BLUR

Listen, if it’s good enough for Oasis, then why not Blur?

The Britpop band were set to go on their second hiatus in 2023, before being offered to play Coachella in 2024; something that drew media attention after frontman Damon Albarn’s frustrations at the crowd’s lack of interaction during Girls & Boys.

During their second weekend performance, Damon Albarn admitted that this may be the last time the band perform together, and true to his word they haven’t played since. But come on, lads, what do you say: Battle of Britpop 2?

DESTINY’S CHILD

Again, Destiny’s Child have technically reunited already — albeit once, during Beyoncé’s headline set at Coachella in 2018. But surely a reunion tour/album isn’t totally outside the realm of possibility?

The final line-up of the 90s pop group was Beyoncé Knowles, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams — all of whom have had stellar solo careers in their own rights. The trio performed their farewell performance at the 2006 NBA All-Star Game in February, 2006 but have collaborated a number of times since.

With a number of collabs and cameos in music videos, Beyoncé has said that she’s up for a reunion with Kelly and Michelle; but with her Cowboy Carter tour still ongoing, we might have to wait a little while longer before the trio reunite.

OUTKAST

Fans have been waiting patiently for the Atlanta rap duo of André 3000 and Big Boi to finally put out a new album after 2006’s Idlewild, but so far we’ve had nothing.

Both rappers have put out solo efforts, with André’s New Blue Sun taking a hard left turn as a flute album rather than a rap album. And while the pair did reunite for a 2014 string of shows, that’s been it.

But with a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction happening this year, could a reunion be on the cards in any capacity?
