The people have spoken and the band has listened! The Eagles recently announced that they will be extending their Las Vegas Sphere residency after they have already been met with an exceptional amount of demand for more from the fans.
Originally established in 1971, the Eagles reigned supreme throughout that decade and have proven, five decades later, listeners are always eager for more. Their Las Vegas residency is set to formally kick off this autumn, and now it will extend right into 2025. Here are the new dates.
The Eagles are greatly extending their Las Vegas residency by several weeks
On Monday, July 15, the Eagles announced that they will be adding four more weekends to their residency at the Sphere venue in Vegas—that’s right, a whole month’s worth of additional weekend shows to catch.

This brings their total show count for this residency up to 20 events. On top of that, after the revelry begins this autumn, it will continue right until the very end of January.
The new dates added are January 17, 18, 24 and 25. The first show will rock out starting on Friday, September 20, at 8:30 pm. After that, they continue following a pattern of one show on Saturday, one on Sunday, same time each evening.

This is actually the second extension the Eagles made to their Las Vegas residency, according to PEOPLE. They previously revealed additional dates for November through December. In both cases, these changes were made “due to overwhelming demand.”
General sales for tickets begin on Friday, July 26, at 12 noon ET, or 9 am PT.
This has already been an eventful touring year for the band, who just wrapped up their The Long Goodbye tour in the Netherlands on June 15. That tour coincided with the band’s 50 anniversary along with 150 million albums sold, but sadly came just weeks after bassist Randy Meisner died at the age of 77 last summer.
Surviving Eagles members Don Henley, Joe Walsh, and Timothy B. Schmit are joined by Vince Gill and Deacon Frey, the latter of whom is the son of the late Glenn Frey, for performances that the event’s official site says are certain to “tear down the house with some of the best-selling songs of the rock and roll era.”
The Eagles have their picking for a setlist each night, having sold over 200 million records around the world, with 100 million of those sales coming from the U.S. alone. Anything is up for grabs, as the concerts promise to “offer fans the ultimate connection to the band’s legendary catalog.”
