The Eagles are planning a stop at Rupp Arena as part of their “Long Goodbye” Tour. The shows are being billed as the bestselling band’s swan song.

More than 50 years in the making, the Eagles’ farewell tour is set to swing through Lexington Nov. 14, joined by Steely Dan and Vince Gill. So far the Rupp Arena show is just one of 13 stops announced.

The lineup will include Don Henley, Joe Walsh, Timothy B. Schmit, and Deacon Frey, son of late Eagles member Glenn Fry.

The performance will be the Eagles’ first trip back to Lexington since 2018’s North American Tour.

Presale tickets and VIP packages will go on sale July 12 – with general admission tickets available to the public starting 10 am on July 14 through Ticketmaster. Prices, however, might not bring a peaceful easy feeling. They’re expected to run from $129 on up.
