Don Henley, Joe Walsh and Timothy B. Schmit, with Vince Gill and Deacon Frey will play 13 more shows this fall and Boston is on the itinerary. Steely Dan will be along for the ride.
Boston's show will happen Monday, September 11 at TD Garden. Tickets will go on sale to the public next Friday (July 14) at 10am via Ticketmaster. But there are some presales to keep an eye out for starting Wednesday. Other cities on "The Long Goodbye Final Tour" include New York, Newark, Belmont Park, Denver, Indianapolis, Detroit, Cleveland, Atlanta, Charlotte, Raleigh, Lexington and St. Paul.
The band issued this statement to fans on social media this morning:
"Our long run has lasted far longer than any of us ever dreamed. But, everything has its time, and the time has come for us to close the circle. The official farewell tour is currently in the planning stages. We want to give all our fans a chance to see us on this final round. So, scheduling information will be released as dates are set. The difficulties of booking venues for multiple nights may require us to return to certain cities, depending on demand. But, we hope to see as many of you as we can, before we finish up. Most importantly, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for embracing this band and its music. At the end of the day, you are the reason we have been able to carry on for over five decades. This is our swan song, but the music goes on and on."
There really is something for everyone at Fenway Park this summer... musically. While the Red Sox have struggled to find some hits, there will be a bunch of them on stage at these shows! (Sorry, too soon?)
June 23: Kane Brown
A few years ago he was a kid who quit a reality TV show because they wanted to put him in a boyband. He wasn't feeling it and decided to use social media to take his music directly to country music fans and it worked.
June 24 & 25: Dead & Company
The band includes former Grateful Dead members Bob Weir, Mickey Hart, and Bill Kreutzmann. John Mayer is along for this tour.
July 31 & August 1: P!nk & Pat Benatar
This is my favorite tour combination of the summer. Such a cool pairing. Would love to see Pink cover "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" since Pat doesn't perform it anymore. And Pat could probably do an awesome version of "So What!"
August 2: Fall Out Boy
One of the biggest pop punk bands from the early 2000s and they're still going strong.
August 16-18: Morgan Wallen
The guy who is simply running country music in 2023.
August 19: Zac Brown Band
Up for a little bit of chicken fried?
August 21: Guns N' Roses
Axl Rose, Slash and the current lineup will belt out their enormous anthems like "Sweet Child O' Mine" and "Welcome to the Jungle."
September 19: Gorillaz
Doubt Clint Eastwood will make it. But you'll hear the song for sure.
