Fleetwood Mac fans in Wangaratta will have the chance to relive the band’s biggest hits when Seventh Wonder brings its acclaimed show to the Wangaratta Performing Arts and Convention Centre on Saturday 13 June.
Fronted by vocalist Amanda Canzurlo, who performs under the pseudonym Bloom, Seventh Wonder has built its reputation on celebrating the music of Fleetwood Mac, particularly the iconic Rumours album.
Bloom said the show had grown naturally out of the band’s earlier performances of Stevie Nicks material.
“Seventh Wonder is three years old, but we were performing Stevie Nicks songs way before that, so it felt like a natural progression to explore the catalogue of Fleetwood Mac,” she said.
“The songs are soundtracks to so many people’s lives.
“We love how the songs sound simple, but they are made up of so many intricate layers, and each of the band members kept their own style when coming together as Fleetwood Mac.”
Bloom said one of the enduring strengths of Fleetwood Mac’s music was the distinct voice each songwriter brought to the band.
“You can hear, ‘Stevie wrote this one’ or ‘this is a Christine song’, they are different, but all work so well together,” Bloom said.
While Seventh Wonder stops short of calling itself a traditional tribute act, Bloom said the band’s focus was on honouring the music rather than impersonating the original group.
“We’re not a tribute band in the traditional sense, we’re not pretending to be Fleetwood Mac,” she said.
“What we do is celebrate the music, particularly the iconic Rumours album and the songs that have become the soundtrack to so many people’s lives.”
The production is managed by former Fleetwood Mac manager Dennis Dunstan and has drawn praise from fans and from Mick Fleetwood himself.
Bloom said 2026 had already been a milestone year for the group, beginning with a sold-out Sydney Opera House performance alongside a 30-piece orchestra.
“We’re excited to continue building these orchestrated shows to elevate the music and honour the incredible legacy behind it,” she said.
Mick Fleetwood praised the orchestrated production.
“On first hearing Seventh Wonder orchestrated … it gave me goosebumps, really, spooky, good,” he said.
The Wangaratta performance will feature Rumours in full, alongside other Fleetwood Mac favourites including “Little Lies”, “Gypsy” and “Say You Love Me”.
