Eagles To Play Shows At Madison Square Garden In August

(NEW YORK, NY) -- Eagles – Don Henley, Joe Walsh and Timothy B. Schmit, with Deacon Frey and Vince Gill - will perform two nights at Madison Square Garden.  The "Hotel California" 2021 tour comes to MSG on August 22 and August 24. Commemorating their 1976 album, the concerts will feature a “Hotel California” set accompanied by an orchestra and choir, followed by an additional set of the band’s greatest hits.

"We are pleased to be restarting our 'Hotel California' tour at The Garden. We are looking forward to getting back to the Big Apple and performing for our fans," said the band in a press release.

“Hotel California” is the third best-selling U.S. album in history, certified 26 times Platinum by 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.  The band’s “Their Greatest Hits 1971-1977” is the best-selling U.S. album in history, certified by RIAA 38 times Platinum.

In today’s faddish, fractured, rock landscape, the Eagles retain an appeal that transcends both generation and genre, cementing the band’s role as enduring musical icons. As the best-selling American band of the ’70s, and one of the top-selling acts of all time, the Eagles have sold more than 150 million albums worldwide, scored six number one albums and topped the singles charts five times. They have won six GRAMMY Awards, were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1998, in their first year of eligibility, and received the Kennedy Center Honors in 2016.

All guests will need to be fully vaccinated and provide proof upon entry to the event of having received their second dose of the Pfizer-BioNtech or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine or their single dose of Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen COVID-19 vaccine no later than 14 days before their event date. Exceptions will be made for children under the age of 16, who may provide proof of a negative antigen or PCR COVID-19 test, or full vaccination and may only attend with a fully vaccinated adult.
