Eagles are trapped in the Sphere and can never leave

Since September 2024, the Eagles have played 64 shows at the Sphere in Las Vegas, making their “Eagles: Live in Concert at Sphere” residency the venue’s longest-running attraction. The event is a multi-media visual extravaganza set to the Eagles’ catalog, where you need to pop a Dramamine just to hear “Life in the Fast Lane.” No, seriously: when I saw the band perform at the Sphere last February, I got explicitly nauseous during the Hotel California single after already fighting for my life during Joe Walsh’s “In the City.” But if that sounds like a wind you’d enjoy sailing close to (I’d go back for round two, honestly), then you’re in luck: the Eagles have added six more Sphere dates in 2026: September 18-19, November 13-14, and November 27-28.
Tickets for those shows go on sale on Friday, May 15, at 10:00 a.m. PT on Ticketmaster’s website. Presale begins tomorrow, May 13, at 10:00 a.m. PT, and you can already register. There will be additional presale chances starting Thursday, May 14, at 10:00 a.m. PT. Seat prices start at $175, including taxes and fees. A limited number of VIP ticket packages are available for purchase, and those buy-ins include premium seats, parking, and exclusive merch.
Despite the deaths of Glenn Frey and Randy Meisner, the Eagles have chosen to carry on as a touring outfit with drummer/vocalist Don Henley as its only original member. Guitarist Joe Walsh and bassist Timothy B. Schmit have both served every iteration of the band since 1977, though Walsh joined two years earlier. Former members Bernie Leadon and Don Felder left their full-time roles with the band in 2016 and 2001, respectively. The current formation includes 22-time Grammy winner Vince Gill and Deacon Frey, Glenn’s son, both on guitar. Recently, the Eagles became the first band to earn a 4x Diamond certification from the RIAA, now that their Greatest Hits 1971-1975 compilation has sold over 40 million copies. Hotel California, which turns 50 years old in December, is certified 28x Platinum by the RIAA—making it one of the best-selling non-compilation/soundtrack albums ever, behind Thriller, Back in Black, and The Dark Side of the Moon.
[Editor’s Note: A previous version of this article incorrectly included Leadon and Felder with deceased members of the Eagles. A correction has been made, and we regret the confusion/mistake.]
