Prolific classic-rock band The Eagles will retire after a final tour. Aptly titled "The Long Goodbye," the run will begin September 7 in New York and is expected to last into 2025. The initial announcement called for thirteen shows, with a stop at Denver's Ball Arena on Thursday, October 5. But on July 12, six more shows were announced, including a second at Ball Arena on Friday, October 6.
The last time the Eagles toured was in 2015, but the band hasn't played in Denver since 2013.
On the tour, the Eagles will be joined by Steely Dan β an epic move, considering the two acts have been friends throughout their more than fifty-year careers, referencing each other in songs and sharing a manager.
According to a statement on the tour from the band: βThe 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.β
