The Eagles will embark on their own long road out of Eden this fall for a farewell tour expected to last into 2025.
“We know how fortunate we are, and we are truly grateful,” the band said in a statement. “Everything has its time, and the time has come for us to close the circle.”
Dubbed The Long Goodbye, the Eagles’ final shows will kick off Sept. 7 at Madison Square Garden in New York. Only the first handful of dates are being announced with Boston (Sept. 11), Denver (Oct. 5), Atlanta (Nov. 2) and St. Paul, Minnesota (Nov. 17) among them.
Presale tickets and VIP packages go on sale July 12; the general on-sale begins 10 a.m. local time July 14.
Also along for the jaunt will be Steely Dan, longtime contemporaries of the band who will commemorate their own five-decade-plus career.
In announcing their plans to end their “52-year odyssey,” the Eagles – composed of Don Henley, Joe Walsh and Timothy B. Schmit – noted they will play as many shows in each market as the audience demands, even if it requires returning to certain cities. The band will be joined onstage, as they have since the 2016 death of founding member Glenn Frey, by Vince Gill and Frey’s son, Deacon.
