The Rumours tour was a concert tour by Fleetwood Mac, after the release of the band's eleventh album with the same title in February 1977. Due to the album's success Fleetwood Mac embarked on a world tour taking in North America, Europe, their native UK, Japan and Oceania. Taking a break from the recording sessions for their follow-up album Tusk, the band went back on the road in the summer of 1978, playing arenas and stadiums in the United States. This leg of the tour was called "The Penguin Summer Country Safari".
