The group’s ongoing final run launched last month
After more than five decades, the Eagles are finally checking out of the Hotel California.
The legendary rockers announced Wednesday two California concerts as part of their final Long Goodbye Tour, which launched on September 7 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The “California Concerts” will take place early next year at the KIA Forum in Los Angeles. Check out the full tour itinerary below.
The ticket pre-sale begins next Wednesday, October 11 at 10am PDT and runs through to the end of the business day on Thursday, October 12. General ticket on-sale starts Friday, October 13 at 10am PDT. For the first time, Eagles fans traveling to Los Angeles will be able to purchase curated travel packages that include tickets and hotel accommodations. Packages will be available for purchase beginning Friday, October 13 at 10am PDT. Learn more at ticketmaster.com.
Along with Los Angeles being the band’s hometown, the Eagles have a special relationship with the Forum that dates to the 1970’s. After performing at the Los Angeles Forum in July 1975 during its One of These Nights tour, the band added three additional shows in October 1976 and recorded the three-night stand. The result was the ten-song, Live at The Forum ’76 album, which was released just prior to the release of their seminal LP, Hotel California. Live at The Forum ’76 captures some of the very first live performances of “Hotel California” and “New Kid In Town.”
The Eagles played four more concerts at the Los Angeles Forum during its 1980 Long Run tour and then twice on its 2002 World Tour prior to the venue being sold to a Baptist church. They returned in 2008 for a show on the Long Road Out of Eden tour before returning in January 2014 on its ‘History of the Eagles’ tour to reopen the famed “Fabulous Forum” with a six-concert residency. To celebrate the historic concerts, the Forum recreated the cover of the band’s Hotel California album and had it spinning on top of its roof. The record was made of real vinyl 407 feet in diameter and covered a staggering 5.7 acres. It spun atop the roof at 17 miles per hour or roughly 70 r.p.m. and was visible to planes flying overhead.
The Forum hosted three “North American Tour” dates in September 2018 and three Hotel California concerts in October 2021.
“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,” the band said in a statement. “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. 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.”
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 their audience demands. The first round of dates will see the group perform in New York, Boston, Denver, Atlanta, and more. The tour is expected to continue into 2025.
As the best-selling American band of the ’70s, and one of the top-selling acts of all time, the Eagles have sold more than 150 million albums worldwide, scored six No. 1 albums and topped the singles charts five times. They have won six GRAMMY® Awards, were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1998, in their first year of eligibility, and received the Kennedy Center Honors in 2016. Touring for more than 50 years, the Eagles have performed more than 1,000 concerts around the world, accounting for more than 15 million tickets. Eagles’ tours have consistently ranked in the Top 10 of both concert industry publications, Billboard and Pollstar.
