Eagles Announce Final ‘The Long Goodbye’ Act III Stadium Dates — The End Is Officially in Sight

The Eagles have announced a limited run of additional stadium concerts for 2026, once again extending what has become one of rock music’s longest-running farewell tours.

The newly revealed shows are being billed as “The Long Goodbye, Act III,” and will take place after the band concludes its historic residency at the Las Vegas Sphere. That run began on September 30, 2024, and has been repeatedly extended due to overwhelming demand. The residency is now scheduled to continue through March 2026, marking one of the most successful engagements in the venue’s short history.

Final Shows Set Across Atlanta, Nashville, and Texas

The final stretch of live performances will begin on May 5 at Truist Park in Atlanta, followed by a May 9 appearance at FirstBank Stadium at Vanderbilt University in Nashville. The tour is currently slated to conclude on May 16 at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas — a venue with a capacity exceeding 40,000.

As of now, the Arlington show is expected to be the band’s final performance, though the Eagles have left open the possibility of adding more dates. Tedeschi Trucks Band will serve as special guests for all three newly announced stadium concerts.

Don Henley Reflects on the Band’s Imminent End

The announcement follows recent comments from Don Henley, who suggested that 2026 will likely mark the end of the Eagles’ touring career. Speaking with CBS Sunday Morning, Henley acknowledged that the band’s conclusion is approaching and expressed peace with that decision.

When the Eagles first announced their retirement plans in 2023, the band reflected on its legacy, stating: “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.”

Henley later expanded on his personal reasons for stepping away, saying, “I’m okay with [the end]. Because I would like to spend more time with my family, and I would like to spend more time growing vegetables.”

He added, “The band is great, this is wonderful, but I have other things…. I have two non-profit environmental organisations that I chair,” before also noting his desire to spend more time with his grandchildren.

With The Long Goodbye, Act III, the Eagles appear to be bringing their decades-spanning journey closer to its final curtain — on their own terms, and on the largest stages possible.
