Country rock singers, the Eagles, have decided to extend their upcoming ‘Sphere’ residency in Las Vegas to eight additional dates.
Rumours of the bands possible residency had been floating around the internet since March, only for the band to confirm the rumours in early June. The show was originally meant to run from the 20th of September to the 19th of October.
The band took to Instagram on the 18th of June saying “Due to overwhelming demand, the Eagles have announced four additional shows for the band’s residency at Sphere in Las Vegas.” They announced the additional shows for November 1st, 2nd, 8th and 9th.
The Eagles then announced a further four extra dates yesterday, for December 6th, 7th, 13th and 14th.
The announcement follows the release of the Eagles ‘To The Limit: The Essential Collection’, a compilation of 51 songs from their many studio albums and live recordings. It includes some of the bands most popular songs like Hotel California, New Kid In Town, Best Of My Love, and One Of These Nights. As well as fan favourites like Desperado and Victim Of Love.
The Sphere
If you’ve never heard of the ‘Sphere’ in Las Vegas, you may have been living under a rock. Plans for a giant spherical auditorium were announced in 2018. After 6 years and $2.3 billion the architectural marvel was unveiled. The ‘Sphere’ is the largest spherical building in the world at 81,300m squared. A large 16k resolution LED screen wraps the inside and outside of the dome to provide “a one of a kind immersive show.”
The Eagles will be the fourth band to take up residency in the famous ‘Sphere’ venue after Irish band U2, Phish and Dead & Company.
Tickets will go on presale on the 9th of July at 10am, and general sale will start on the 11th of July at 10am.
