The Eagles Offer Final ‘Long Goodbye’ With Last Cross-Country Run
The Eagles announced today (July 6) that their upcoming tour will be the band’s final run after more than 50 years of touring and consistently selling out arenas and stadiums worldwide.
Billed as “The Long Goodbye,” the initial 13-date leg of the tour will kick off Sept. 7 with a Madison Square Garden show in New York, and visit Boston, Denver, Indianapolis, Atlanta, Lexington and more through Nov. 14. The Eagles’ long-time contemporaries/fellow Hall of Famers Steely Dan will be joining the historic shows and commemorating their own 50+ year career during the dates.
During “The Long Goodbye” the Eagles—Don Henley, Joe Walsh, Timothy B. Schmit, with Vince Gill and Deacon Frey—will perform as many shows in each market as the audience demands, sometimes returning to markets. The tour is expected to continue into 2025.
“The Eagles have had a miraculous 52-year odyssey, performing for people all over the globe; keeping the music alive in the face of tragic losses, upheavals and setbacks of many kinds. Credit and thanks go to our longtime management team, our dedicated road crew, and our exceptional backup musicians for providing skilled and steadfast support, throughout these many years,” Eagles share in a statement. “We know how fortunate we are, and we are truly grateful. Our long run has lasted far longer than any of us ever dreamed. But, everything has its time, and the time has come for us to close the circle.
“The official farewell tour is currently in the planning stages. We want to give all our fans a chance to see us on this final round. So, scheduling information will be released as dates are set. The difficulties of booking venues for multiple nights may require us to return to certain cities, depending on demand. But, we hope to see as many of you as we can, before we finish up. Most importantly, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for embracing this band and its music. At the end of the day, you are the reason we have been able to carry on for over five decades. This is our swan song, but the music goes on and on.”
Presale tickets and VIP packages will be available starting Wednesday, July 12, for all announced shows. The general on-sale will start Friday, July 14 at 10 a.m. local time.
The band has been touring for more than 50 years, and performed more than 1,000 concerts around the world, accounting for more than 15 million tickets sold. Eagles’ tours have consistently ranked in the Top 10 of both Billboard and Pollstar.
