On July 6, 2023, Eagles announced a final tour, “The Long Goodbye,” indicating that the band—Don Henley, Joe Walsh, Timothy B. Schmit, with Vince Gill and Deacon Frey—would perform as many shows in each market as their audience demands. And for a while, they did that with multiple concerts in New York, Los Angeles, Manchester, UK, and elsewhere.
Things shifted in 2024, when they announced a residency at the shiny, new venue Sphere, in Las Vegas. Since that run commenced on Sept. 20 of that year, they’ll have played there for 58 concerts, spanning twenty-nine exclusive weekends. (They have numerous shows there through April 2026.)
On February 25, Eagles announced the renewal of their “The Long Goodbye” tour, sponsored by Live Nation, dubbing this edition “Act III,” with three stadium dates in May. The performances, with Tedeschi Trucks Band as special guests, follow Eagles’ planned appearance at this year’s Jazz Fest in New Orleans on May 2. Pre-sales for the newest dates begin Mar. 3 at 10 a.m. local time. The general on-sale will be on Mar. 6 at 10 a.m. PT here.
Their April dates at Sphere, announced on Feb. 11, were a significant surprise since they had stated all the way back on Nov. 10, 2025, that their concerts in March were to be their final shows of 2026. The run there began September 20, 2024, and after pausing on April 12, 2025, they returned last fall for shows in September, October and November, and again in January 2026.) Tickets start at $175 and reflect all-in pricing, meaning the ticket price listed is inclusive of taxes and fees.
In a lengthy February interview with CBS Sunday Morning, Don Henley, who will turn 79 on July 22, indicated that he thinks 2026 will be the end of the touring road for the band. “We’ve been around for a long time. We’re some of the last of our generation to still be playing live. We’ve been touring on-and-off since [1972].
“I think this year will probably be it. And I’ve said things like that before, but I feel like we’re getting toward the end. And that will be fine.”
He added, “I’ve been all over the world, but I haven’t seen much of it, because we see the airports and the hotel room and the venue and we don’t get out much, you know?”
These shows utilize Sphere’s next-generation technologies, including the world’s highest resolution LED display that wraps up, over and around the audience, creating a fully immersive visual environment. The venue also features the world’s most advanced concert-grade audio system, Sphere Immersive Sound, powered by HOLOPLOT, which delivers audio with unmatched clarity and precision to every guest.

The months-long rumor of the band performing at the state-of-the-art facility at the Venetian Resort heated up on May 10, 2024, when USA Today reported on a comment made by James Dolan, the CEO of Sphere Entertainment, during a quarterly earnings call. The venue opened in September 2023 with a residency by U2. The “U2:UV Actung Baby Live at Sphere” run was eventually expanded to 40 dates at the arena-sized facility, ending on March 2, 2024.

Jump into a conversationSince Glen Frey passed away, leaving only 1 original member left (Don Henley), they have been reduced to a competent tribute band. When was the last time they released an album with new material? But luckily, we still have the old albums if we want to be reminded of how great they used to be.
Unfortunately, they are not even a competent tribute band. As established on the Wings of Pegasus YouTube site, they are lip syncing most of the time. In other words, those in attendance are paying big bucks simply to see a group of guys pretend to perform Eagles songs.
These have been the “Final” concerts for the past year! Retire already!
