The California group's career spans for more than five decades and has seen them sell for than 200 million albums globally. With their musical blend of country, folk, R&B and rock, The Eagles made an instantaneous imprint on rock music with their 1972 debut single “Take It Easy,” and over the years have become on of the most commercially successful bands of all time.

They have sold more than 150 million albums worldwide, scored six number 1 albums, and topped the singles charts five times. As well as six Grammy Awards, they were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1998, in their very first year of eligibility, and received the Kennedy Center Honors in 2016.

Their farewell tour was confirmed back in July 2023 with the band describing their time as a "miraculous 52-year odyssey", but said that the time had come top "close the circle". They added: "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.”

Speaking about landing the only UK dates on The Eagles farewell tour, Gary Roden, Executive Director and General Manager at Co-op Live commented: “We’ve always said that our mission is to bring the world’s biggest artists to Manchester, and we’re delighted Co-op Live is hosting the only UK shows of Eagles’ farewell tour. Hosting these shows epitomises the ambition that the arena is built on, and we can’t wait to be part of plenty more historic events like this one.”

As part of the announcement, the band have also added another European date on top of the UK residency. They will play the GelreDome in Arnhem in The Netherlands on Thursday, 13 June.
