The Eagles’ stay at Sphere is a lot like a famous song lyric. They can check out any time they like. But they can never leave.
The rock legends are adding to their record-setting series at the Bulbous Wonder. Announced Tuesday morning are four dates Jan. 15-16 and Jan. 22-23 (tickets start at $175, with all-in pricing, and go on sale at 10 a.m. Pacific time Aug. 14).
With 10 dates already on the schedule in September, November and December, the “Take It Easy” hitmakers have extended the longest residency ever at Sphere with 72 dates.
Putting that number further out of reach of the Backstreet Boys (with 57 total dates through their final scheduled show Aug. 29) might not be the Eagles’ primary motive. But if this is a competition, the “Hotel California” inhabitants are winning.
Whatever the case, we can now table Don Henley’s statement to “CBS This Morning” in May that the band was likely to bow out this year.
“I think this year will probably be it,” he said on the telecast. “I’ve said things like that before, but I feel like we’re getting toward the end. And that will be fine, too.” We expect 2027 will be it, but with the Eagles, you can never be sure.
