Just like a white-winged dove, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and complete legend Stevie Nicks will come swooping into the Chase Center this Friday, Dec. 15, for a magical evening of mysticism and music that will leave the whole crowd spellbound.
The former Fleetwood Mac lead singer has been on tour since 2022, bringing her powerful voice and alluring stage presence to cities across the United States and the world. This show was already rescheduled once, but now it’s finally San Francisco’s chance to sing along to hits including “Dreams,” “Gypsy,” “Edge of Seventeen” and more.

Before you hit the streets, check out all the important details so you can be sure you have the most magical Stevie-ning possible.
First of all, whether you’re using rideshare to get to the venue or driving yourself, we highly recommend buffering your travel time with an extra half hour or so to account for heightened traffic in the area. Then go ahead and add another 15 minutes to handle your parking your own car.
The Chase Center offers space to pre-paid parking pass holders at two distinct garages: the Mercedes-Benz Garage, accessible from 390 16th St. and 99 Warriors Way; and the Warriors Way Garage, accessible at 150 Warriors Way. Both garages are set to open at 5 p.m. the day of the concerts, and both garages close at midnight. You can learn even more about how to reach these garages at chasecenter.com/parking.
If you didn’t nab a limited parking pass in time, there are third-party operated garages recommended by the Chase Center at 1800 Owens St., and the corner of 19th Street and Illinois Street. When there are no events at Oracle Park, the Chase Center also recommends parking at Lot A at 74 Mission Rock St.
Yes, we’re sure you have the cutest purse picked out for this highly-fashionable show, but if your bag is any larger than 14” long and 6” wide, it’s going to have to be checked at the bag valet on Terry A Francois Blvd for a $10 fee. Backpacks are never allowed, although smaller fashion backpacks and diaper bags that look like backpacks can get a pass if they meet the 14” x 6” requirement. All bags will be searched and screened.
First of all, get your tickets for Friday’s show here. Now that that’s out of the way:
Printed tickets are a thing of the past at the Chase Center, because the venue has gone completely contactless—at least for entry. Make sure your mobile ticket is ready to be scanned once you get to security, either on your TicketMaster app or the Warriors + Chase Center Mobile App.
It’s always a good idea to download and access your ticket page before leaving the house, in case of a lowered cell signal due to crowds or lack of on-site WiFi. However, please be advised that screenshots of digital tickets don’t always work. Be sure to read the fine print of your mobile ticket.
Colorado-raised pop and R&B singer-songwriter CIL is opening the show this Friday. At just 20 years old, the artist recently signed to Warner Records and promises a powerful career to come. Her latest single, “Bloodsucker,” is a gritty, soulful and jazzy takedown of all the would-be tough guys who talk a big game but don’t have the presence of mind or generosity of love to back up their bull. In other words, exactly the type of song a Stevie Nicks fan can get behind!
Doors open at 6 p.m. and the music starts at 7 p.m., so don’t miss a moment!
While you’re in for a hit parade of Stevie Nicks' solo work and Fleetwood Mac favorites, this set also promises a few covers of beloved songs from artists Stevie admires. The set actually opens with a cover of Tom Petty, in honor of her friend who is no longer with us, and there are some exciting songs from Billy Hoel, Buffalo Springfield and more. You’ll have to make sure you’re there in the audience to hear them all!
