Eagles concert chronology

The band will perform the 1976 Grammy-winning album from “beginning to end." “Each night’s concert will feature a “Hotel California” set, with an accompanying orchestra and choir, followed by an additional set of the band's greatest hits,” the band’s website said. The set list performed in Las Vegas was one of the longest shows the band has ever played and lasted for approximately three hours.[3]

Organisers say 77 musicians are expected to be on stage while the Eagles perform hits from the album, including “New Kid in Town” and “Life in the Fast Lane,” the Associated Press reported.

It was the second Eagles tour to feature Deacon Frey and country artist Vince Gill since they joined the band in 2017 after the death of founding member Glenn Frey in 2016.

On March 21, 2020, band announced the postponement of their North American tour due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[4] On May 1, 2020, band announced the tour would be further postponed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5]
