Act III: The Stadium Farewell with Tedeschi Trucks Band

Announced on February 25, 2026, “The Long Goodbye, Act III” shifts the farewell from the Sphere’s controlled immersion to the unbridled energy of stadium rock. Three dates are confirmed: Truist Park in Atlanta on May 5, FirstBank Stadium at Vanderbilt University in Nashville on May 9, and Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas on May 16. Each venue seats approximately 40,000 for concerts. Tedeschi Trucks Band — the 12-piece GRAMMY-winning ensemble fronted by Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks — opens all three shows, pairing perfectly with the Eagles’ California-country-rock sound. The band has hinted more dates could follow. Presales begin March 3 at 10 AM local through eagles.com; general on-sale is March 6.

New Orleans Jazz Fest: A Festival Send-Off

Before Act III begins, the Eagles headline the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival on May 2, 2026. Jazz Fest’s unique open-air setting at the Fair Grounds Race Course creates a laid-back atmosphere that suits the band’s California-country roots. Sharing the weekend lineup alongside artists like Lainey Wilson and Teddy Swims, the Eagles’ set promises to be one of the most anticipated festival performances of the year.

2026: A Year of Eagles Milestones

The 2026 farewell is happening against a backdrop of historic achievements. On January 22, Their Greatest Hits 1971–1975 became the first album to earn Quadruple Diamond RIAA certification — 40 million units sold in the U.S., extending its lead as the best-selling album in American history by 6 million units over Michael Jackson’s Thriller. The album also celebrates its 50th anniversary, having originally been released on February 17, 1976 — the same year it became the first record ever certified Platinum. A crystal-clear 180-gram vinyl anniversary reissue is available at eagles.com. Meanwhile, Hotel California was re-certified at 28× Platinum, securing the third spot on the all-time chart. The Eagles are the only act in history to hold both the first and third positions.

The Eagles 2026 Setlist and Show Structure

Sphere shows deliver approximately three hours of music with an intermission. The setlist spans the Eagles’ entire career and typically includes more than 20 songs: arena-rock monuments like “Hotel California” and “Life in the Fast Lane,” country-rock originals like “Take It Easy” and “Tequila Sunrise,” power ballads like “Desperado” and “I Can’t Tell You Why,” and selections from members’ solo catalogs, including Joe Walsh’s crowd favorites. At the Sphere, custom visuals accompany every song, making the experience as cinematic as it is musical.
