The Eagles – Don Henley, Joe Walsh, and Timothy B. Schmit with Deacon Frey and Vince Gill – this week extended the “Hotel California” 2022 Tour by adding concerts in 12 cities. Locally, the Eagles will perform at the UBS Arena on April 23. The concert will begin with the band performing the Hotel California album from beginning to end, accompanied by an orchestra and choir. After a short intermission, the band will perform a set of their greatest hits.
The Eagles began the Hotel California concerts in 2019 in Las Vegas, Nevada. To date, the Eagles have performed more than 30 sold-out shows in 15 major U.S. arenas, including five nights at Madison Square Garden. Tickets for the UBS Arena concert will be on sale this Friday, January 14, at 10:00 a.m. EST. A limited number of VIP packages, which include premium seats, merchandise, parking, and more amenities, become available on Thursday, January 13, at 10:00 a.m. EST.
Hotel California is the third best-selling U.S. album in history, certified 26-times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). After its release in 1976, it topped the charts and won two Grammy Awards for “New Kid in Town” and “Hotel California.” Several of the songs from the album have never been performed since the original Hotel California tour.
