The Eagles Schedule More Concert Dates

After wrapping up their Classic East and Classic West festival shows, the Eagles have announced that they will (briefly) hit the road again this fall. Both Vince Gill and Deacon Frey, son of the late Glenn Frey, will again play with the band at each of the four upcoming shows.

According to The Boot, The Eagles’ newest tour dates will take place in late October — from Oct. 17 through Oct. 27 — in Greensboro, N.C.; Atlanta, Ga.; Louisville, Ky.; and Detroit, Mich. Short stints on the road, like this one, will likely become the norm for the Eagles, the group’s guitarist, Joe Walsh, tells Rolling Stone.

“We’ve got some new blood. We all know the songs pretty good, but we just have to run the drill,” Walsh explains about the first string of shows since Glenn Frey died in 2016. “It’s like being an athlete and doing the reps to get into shape. The new guys [Deacon Frey and Gill] have to get to the point where it’s automatic or it’s transparent.”

According to the Eagles’ manager, Irving Azoff, the idea of adding Gill to the band’s lineup came about during December’s Kennedy Center Honors ceremony, during which Gill helped pay tribute to the Eagles.
