"Mirage," named after Fleetwood Mac's third best-selling album (2.8 million
albums sold), is the name of the internationally award-winning tribute band from Los Angeles, USA.
The five musicians not only perform the music but also transport the magic of the original
line-up. The band consists of Michelle Tyler as Stevie Nicks, Bob Weitz as John McVie, Annie
Boxell as Christine McVie, Gary Hagen as Lindsey Buckingham, and Richard Graham as Mick
Fleetwood. The show celebrates the legendary "Rumours" era of Fleetwood Mac and has even been
highly praised by Stevie Nicks herself.

The band takes its fans on a musical journey through the greatest hits of Fleetwood
Mac, including of course "Go Your Own Way," "Rhiannon," and "Dreams." With great attention to
authenticity and attention to detail, they revive the golden era of the band on stage.
Their performance is not only musically but also visually replicated in detail, which has made "Mirage" one of the best tribute bands in the world. From their
energetic live shows in the USA to their celebrated TV appearances to sold-out
concerts in live rock clubs – "Mirage" has been delighting fans for years with a
matchless tribute to Fleetwood Mac.
"It is a great pleasure for us to bring this extraordinary production to Europe and
Germany for the first time," emphasizes tour organizer Michael Noll from Reset Production. "‘Mirage‘
offers German fans the unique opportunity to experience the unparalleled atmosphere and the
magic of Fleetwood Mac live on stage. It is a live show that will leave no music lover untouched – a tribute to Fleetwood Mac that should not be missed."
The original rock band Fleetwood Mac has achieved cult status over decades and is one of the
most iconic rock bands in music history. Their unmistakable blend of rock, pop, and
folk, combined with distinctive vocal styles, shaped their unique sound and
inspired several generations of artists. The intense, emotional energy of their music, as well as
their distinctive aesthetics, make Fleetwood Mac timeless.
The band, founded in 1967 in the UK, found its worldwide breakthrough with the
reformation in the 1970s when Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham joined. Particularly
the album Rumours from 1977 (over 40 million copies sold) is considered a milestone in rock music
and reflects the turbulent relationships and tensions within the band. With the death
of Christine McVie on November 30, 2022, Stevie Nicks declared the turbulent band history
to be complete.
And yet: Their songs remain unforgettable, their influence on the history of music undeniable, and their live performances legendary.

The extraordinary tribute show that celebrates probably the greatest genius of pop music:
Michael Jackson!
On tour with original lead guitarist Jennifer Batten and Wendel Gama as Michael Jackson.

“ONE NIGHT OF MJ” is a roughly two-hour homage to the extraordinary career of the King of Pop, Michael Jackson (MJ). Wendel Gama as Michael, a spectacular rock band accompanied by brass and strings, a dance crew with original choreographies, as well as intricate special effects bring MJ's greatest hits back to the stage. With unforgettable guitar solos by Jennifer Batten - the legendary guitarist who accompanied MJ on all major tours for many years.

“Billie Jean", “Beat it”, “Bad”, “Black or White”, “Man in the Mirror”, “Smooth Criminal”, “Thriller” – not only his countless number-one hits made MJ the undisputed “King of Pop”. His attitude, his extravagant music videos, and his exuberant live performances were in a class of their own and practically shaped an independent art form. The interplay of singing, music, dance, cutting-edge technology, and energetic entertainment was perhaps never as perfectly staged by any artist as it was by him.

“ONE NIGHT OF MJ” allows the audience to once again immerse themselves in the magical atmosphere of the extraordinary MJ shows. The unique arrangements are faithfully brought to life by the live band. A small but majestic live orchestra further underscores the grandeur of the unforgettable compositions.
Wendel Gama from Brazil is among the world's most famous Michael Jackson impersonators. Over four million people follow him on TikTok alone. Vocally, hardly anyone gets as close to the original live. But every movement, every gesture, and every dance step are a respectful and passionate bow to the great entertainer Michael Jackson.

The legendary guitar riffs and solos can hardly be presented more authentically than with Jennifer Batten as lead guitarist. For almost ten years she stood for and with Michael Jackson on the stages of the world during his major live tours. She first joined the “Bad World Tour” in 1987, followed by the “Dangerous World Tour” (1992/93) and the “HIStory World Tour” (1996/97). The last tour alone took her to 82 concerts in 35 countries across five continents.
Looking back, Batten confirms: “The time with MJ was the best of my life, especially because I was already a fan of his music beforehand.”
About the show “ONE NIGHT OF MJ,” she says: “The audience loves his music – but many of his fans never got the chance to experience Michael live. That’s why I love this fantastic show. Interpreting Michael's songs with strings and trumpets is simply epic. Michael would have definitely liked that. He was always eager to deliver a wow effect to the audience.”

“ONE NIGHT OF MJ” is not only a musical live spectacle but a fantastic journey through the magical MJ world – authentic, energetic, and thrilling. A fast-paced, loud, flamboyant, and at the same time, emotional, honest, and humble bow to an unforgettable icon.
