Band will turn state-of-the-art venue into the Hotel California for four weekends in September & October. By Daniel Kreps The Eagles  will be the next artist to nest at the Sphere  as the “Hotel California” band has announced a four-weekend residency at the state-of-the-art Las Vegas  venue. A month after Dead and Company wrap up their own Sphere residency in August, the Eagles will swoop in on September 20 and 21 for the first of four Friday/Saturday concerts at the venue. The band — Don Henley, Joe Walsh, Timothy B. Schmit, Vince Gill, and Deacon Frey — are then scheduled to play the weekends of September 27/28, October 11/12, and October 18/19 at the Sphere. An artist presale registration for the Sphere shows is now open at the Eagles’ site , where fans can also see general on-sale and limited VIP ticket information. The Eagles mark the fourth band to play the Sphere, following U2 — who opened the venue  — Phish and Dead and Company . The Sphere residency comes as The Eagles are in the midst of their Long Goodbye “official farewell tour,” which kicked off in 2023 with a string of arena dates and is expected to run into 2025. “The 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,” the band said in a statement last year.  “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.” Eagles Sphere Dates: Friday, September 20  Saturday, September 21  Friday, September 27  Saturday, September 28  Friday, October 11  Saturday, October 12  Friday, October 18  Saturday, October 19

By Anna Chan December 19th, 2023 It’s always a big loss when the world loses a talented artist and, unfortunately, 2023 kicked off with several notable deaths in music. It began with Gangsta Boo, the pioneering Southern female rapper formerly of hip-hop group Three 6 Mafia, who was found dead on New Year’s Day at age 43. The next day, Alan Rankine of post-punk New Wave act The Associates, who also produced the Cocteau Twins and pursued his own solo music, died at age 64. Since then, we’ve also lost rock guitar legend Jeff Beck — who died at age 78 on Jan. 10 — and singer-songwriter Lisa Marie Presley, who suffered cardiac arrest and died on Jan. 12 at age 54. Since then, the world has lost musical greats including Tina Turner, Tony Bennett, Gordon Lightfoot, David Crosby and more.
