For the third time in the last month, the Eagles [ tickets ] have confirmed additional stops for their forthcoming North American run behind “Long Road Out of Eden.”
The outing kicks off with the band’s Hollywood Bowl debut over the course of three nights (4/16-4/17, 4/20). Since last check, a trio of late-May shows have been added to the end of the trek: May 20 in Denver, May 22 in Ontario, CA, and May 23 in San Diego. The full schedule is shown at right.
Tickets for most shows are available now via Ticketmaster, while the May 22 Ontario performance goes on sale March 15.
The iconic rockers continue supporting 2007’s “Long Road Out of Eden,” the band’s first new studio album since 1979’s “The Long Run.” The set debuted at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 chart after posting first-week sales of 711,000 copies, and went on to become 2007’s top-selling album by a group, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
“Long Road Out of Eden” also earned the group Grammy Awards for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals for “How Long” in 2008, and Best Pop Instrumental Performance for “I Dreamed There Was No War” in 2009.
In late 2007, frontman Don Henley gave a rare interview to CNN, during which he suggested the award-winning effort could be the band’s last.
“This is probably the last Eagles album that we’ll ever make. So we decided to just say whatever we felt like saying. And let the chips fall where they may.
“I can’t sit here and tell you for certain that there will never be another Eagles album, but we got 20 songs on this album. You know, we got a lot of things off our chest, so to speak.”
