Reformed American rock icons Eagles have announced their return to Australia as part of their current world tour, marking their first Aussie jaunt since the death of co-founder Glenn Frey in 2016.
The band, who announced their breakup in the months following Frey’s death, are back together and ready to make the trip down under for all-ages shows in Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney in March 2019.
The group’s current lineup — Don Henley, Joe Walsh, Timothy B. Schmit, Vince Gill and Glenn Frey’s son Deacon — will embark on Eagles’ first Australian tour since their 2015 trip, knocking out a bunch of the band’s biggest hits along the way.
“I saw them in San Francisco and San Diego, and I feel very privileged that they’re coming to Australia because these’ll be the first shows they’ve done outside America,” tour promoter and Mushroom Group founder Michael Gudinski tells Music Feeds.
“They sound better than ever… They’re not doing it to promote a new album… they’re all about the sound, and it’s a big band. There’s at one point six guitars at the front, there’s a tribute to Glenn during the show.
“I wish I could have got them to do Adelaide and Perth, but times were limited.”

The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame inductees are also preparing to release a Legacy collection of recordings to celebrate their hugely successful career on Friday, 2nd November, in both 12-CD/DVD/Blu-ray and 15-LP sets.
