The Eagles have set what they call their final UK tour dates as part of the veteran group's final Long Goodbye tour. On Monday (Jan. 22), the band — Don Henley, Joe Walsh, Timothy B. Schmit, with Vince Gill and Deacon Frey — announced a three-show run at the new Co-Op Live Arena in Manchester on May 31, June. June 1 and 4.
The concert at the UK's largest indoor arena will be supported by Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Steely Dan, with tickets going on sale to the general public on Friday (January 26) at 10am. GMT via Living Nation. In addition, the band announced a concert on June 13 at the Gelredrome in Arnhem, Netherlands.
The band is expected to hit the road again on February 2nd for the first of two shows at the Moody Center in Austin, Texas, followed by a series of North American stops in St. Louis, Omaha, Tulsa, Houston, New Orleans, Hollywood (Fla. ), Orlando, Toronto and Charlotte before heading overseas.
During a four-date run at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California in early January, the veteran rock band paid tribute to the venue they first played in 1975, while also paying tribute to some fallen comrades lost along the way.
“It's good to be back here at the Forum,” singer Henley said at one of the concerts. “We consider the Forum to be our home. … They have greatly improved the place since then. Remember all those ugly yellow and orange seats?' joked about the different color scheme when the Lakers played at the Forum before moving to Staples Center in 1999. The 21-song set also included nods to late bandmates Glenn Frey and Randy Meisner, as well as their “dear friend” Jimmy Buffett via Henley's 1984 solo hit “The Boys of Summer,” a fitting tribute to the beloved beach-loving “Margaritaville” singer who died in September 2023.
