The Eagles announce residency at Co-op Live arena in Manchester
The Eagles – Don Henley, Joe Walsh, Timothy B. Schmit, with Vince Gill, and Deacon Frey – have announced a UK residency at the new Co-op Live arena in Manchester as part of their ‘Long Goodbye’ tour.
Performing at the largest indoor arena in the UK, fellow Hall of Famers, Steely Dan, will join all dates on these shows to commemorate their own career which spans over five decades.
“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. 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. The official farewell tour is currently underway," the band says in a statement."
"We want to give all our fans a chance to see us on this final round. So, scheduling information will be released as dates are set. The difficulties of booking venues for multiple nights may require us to return to certain cities, depending on demand. But, we hope to see as many of you as we can, before we finish up. Most importantly, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for embracing this band and its music. At the end of the day, you are the reason we have been able to carry on for over five decades. This is our swan song, but the music goes on and on," they continued.
Tickets go on general sale on 26 January at 10am via livenation.co.uk.
