Eagles Announce First 2014 Tour Dates

The Eagles have just announced the first 2014 dates of their ongoing 40th Anniversary tour. The band is set to open the newly revamped Forum in Los Angeles over three nights on January 15th, 17th, and 18th. The career spanning shows feature the first performances of original guitarist Bernie Leadon since his departure in 1975.

During Tuesday's (July 30th) press conference announcing the gigs, Eagles manager and music mogul Irving Azoff highlighted the connection between the band and the arena: "The Forum is an iconic Southern California landmark and with the vision of the Madison Square Garden Company is sure to become the world's quintessential music-focused venue. Since the 1970's, the Eagles have a long and rich history with the Forum. The building has played an important role in the growth and development of the band from their early Southern California roots to becoming a worldwide touring phenomenon. With its unsurpassed acoustics and warm intimate arena experience, it's always been the band's favorite building to perform in and we're anxiously looking forward to kicking off the next era of the Forum this January."
