What Is “The Long Goodbye” Tour?

“The Long Goodbye” is The Eagles’ official farewell tour, launched in September 2023 to celebrate more than 50 years of touring and over 150 million albums sold worldwide. The tour has unfolded in chapters: Act I saw the band perform across North America, Act II delivered the record-setting Sphere residency, and now Act III takes the farewell to stadiums in Atlanta, Nashville, and Arlington. Don Henley confirmed in a February 2026 CBS Sunday Morning interview that 2026 “will probably be it” for the band.

The Long Goodbye, Act III — Stadium Shows with Tedeschi Trucks Band

Announced on February 25, 2026, Act III brings The Eagles to three stadium venues for the first time on this farewell tour: Truist Park in Atlanta (May 5), FirstBank Stadium at Vanderbilt University in Nashville (May 9), and Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas (May 16). GRAMMY Award-winning Tedeschi Trucks Band — the 12-piece ensemble led by Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks — will support all three dates. The band has hinted that additional dates may be announced: “We want to give all our fans a chance to see us on this final round. Scheduling information will be released as dates are set.” Presales begin March 3 at 10 AM local time through eagles.com, with general on-sale March 6.

A Historic Year: Quadruple Diamond and 50th Anniversary

The year 2026 is not just the Eagles’ farewell — it’s a year of milestones. On January 22, 2026, Their Greatest Hits 1971–1975 became the first album in history to earn Quadruple Diamond certification from the RIAA, signifying 40 million units sold in the United States. The album’s 50th anniversary on February 17, 2026, was marked by a limited-edition crystal-clear 180-gram vinyl reissue available exclusively at eagles.com. Meanwhile, Hotel California was re-certified at 28× Platinum, making it the third best-selling album in U.S. history. Combined, the Eagles hold the top and third spots on the all-time RIAA chart.

What to Expect at an Eagles Concert

Each Eagles concert delivers approximately three hours of music spanning the band’s entire career. At the Sphere, the setlist features 20-plus songs including beloved classics and deep cuts, all transformed by the venue’s immersive technology with custom-designed visuals synchronized to the music. The stadium shows promise a different but equally powerful experience — the raw energy of a 40,000-plus crowd singing every word under open skies, with Tedeschi Trucks Band warming the stage with their own brand of blues-rock fire.
