The Sphere, a 17,600-seat, state-of-the-art venue known for its immersive 16K LED display, perfectly complements the Eagles’ grand farewell. As of mid-October, the band has already completed a number of shows, with many more to come through March 15, 2025.

For longtime fans, the residency has offered more than just a typical concert. The band has delivered their signature harmonies and classics, such as “Hotel California,” “Desperado,” and “Take It Easy,” while performing against a stunning visual backdrop that has left audiences mesmerized. Don Henley, Joe Walsh, Timothy B. Schmit, Vince Gill, and Deacon Frey (son of the late Glenn Frey) have taken the stage together, bringing the Eagles’ music to life in a spectacular fashion. The innovative visual elements and Sphere’s unique architecture elevate the concert experience, immersing fans in a multisensory journey through the band’s 50-year history
