The Eagles have added a special mini-residency in Manchester's new Co Op Live Arena as part of their final world tour - dubbed The Long Goodbye. The rock legends will play three separate shows at the venue this coming summer, marking their first announced European dates of 2024. The trio of Manchester shows will be followed by a stop-off in the Netherlands, where The Eagles will play Gelredome in Arnhem.

The band are currently in the middle of the North American leg of the Long Goodbye tour, which continues from next month and wraps up in Charlotte, North Carolina on March 16.

Speaking about their final tour, the band have stated:

“The Eagles have had a miraculous 52-year odyssey, performing for people all over the globe; keeping the music alive in the face of tragic losses, upheavals and setbacks of many kinds. Credit and thanks go to our longtime management team, our dedicated road crew, and our exceptional backup musicians for providing skilled and steadfast support, throughout these many years. We know how fortunate we are, and we are truly grateful.

"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 underway. 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.”
