The Eagles are planning a farewell tour expected to last into 2025.
The band released a statement today saying, “We know how fortunate we are, and we are truly grateful. Everything has its time, and the time has come for us to close the circle.”
“The Long Goodbye” trek will kick off September 7th at Madison Square Garden in New York and only the first handful of stops have been announced, including Boston, Denver, Atlanta, and St. Paul.
Presale tickets and VIP packages go on sale July 12th and the general on-sale begins 10 a.m. local time July 14th.
The band’s complete statement reads:
“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. 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.”
With love and gratitude,
The Eagles
