Eagles have expanded their upcoming residency at Sphere in Las Vegas with another four shows due to “overwhelming demand” during the artist presale that began today (June 18). That brings the total performances to 12 concerts over six exclusive weekends. The run begins Friday, September 20 and now extends through Saturday, November 9. The Sphere residency will offer fans the ultimate connection to the band’s legendary catalog in an immersive experience that only Sphere can provide. The general on-sale remains June 21 at 10 a.m. PT here. Tickets start at $175 and will reflect all-in pricing, meaning the ticket price listed is inclusive of taxes and fees.

The artist presale began June 18 at 10 a.m. PT. A Live Nation presale begins June 20 at 10 a.m. PT here.

These shows will 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 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.

In its reporting, USA Today noted that neither Sphere Entertainment Co. nor Eagles would comment. The band and their longtime manager, Irving Azoff, have a close relationship with Dolan.

Since U2’s performances, Phish played four dates in April. And Dead & Co. have announced dozens of concerts to take place in May, June and July that will feature never-before-seen visual storytelling from the band, providing fans with the ultimate connection to the music through these innovative and immersive shows. [Each weekend’s three performances will feature a unique setlist. Tickets for the Dead & Co. shows are available here.]

“Every time an act books the Sphere, they have to create content around it,” USA Today quoted Dolan. “We will never have an act play the Sphere that doesn’t have something compelling on the screen … I think you’re going to find (with Dead & Company) that even if you’re not a Deadhead, you’re going to love the show. And I think the same will be true for the Eagles and the next acts we bring on.”

On July 6, 2023, Eagles announced that “The Long Goodbye” would be their final tour. The band—Don Henley, Joe Walsh, Timothy B. Schmit, with Vince Gill and Deacon Frey—announced they will perform as many shows in each market as their audience demands. After an extended break, they’re scheduled to resume with the first overseas dates of the tour on May 31, with multiple shows in Manchester U.K. and Arnhem, Netherlands.
