The Cosmic Carnival - A Tribute to Fleetwood Mac

The Cosmic Carnival presents a tribute to Fleetwood Mac on 7 May 2026 at Patronaat in Haarlem. The Rotterdam collective, active since the late 2000s, combines Americana, folk and psychedelic rock with a love for the sound of the 1960s and 1970s. With multiple vocalists and instrumentalists, their focus is on multi-part singing, melodic guitars and expansive arrangements. Their sound moves between restrained country ballads, buoyant folk-rock and passages that strike a little harder.

For this evening The Cosmic Carnival dives into Fleetwood Mac’s songbook. The emphasis is on vocal harmonies and guitar work, on grooves with space and dynamics, and on songs where melody takes the lead. Their collective way of playing suits the material and allows room for layered parts and alternating voices. They developed this approach over recent releases such as The Cosmic Carnival, Changes, First Flowers, The Edge of Nowhere and New Gold, and it forms the basis for an evening centered on the repertoire of Fleetwood Mac.
