According to Billboard, the two veteran bands will top the New York- and Los Angeles-based Classic East and Classic West concerts. While no official word has been announced on these shows, Billboard reports that they will take place at Citi Field in New York and at Dodgers Stadium in California.
Organizers undoubtedly saw the money taken in last year by the two-weekend Desert Trip festival, which featured performances by some of classic-rocks biggest names, including the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Neil Young, Roger Waters and the Who.
This will be the Eagles first live performance since the death of co-founder Glenn Frey in January 2016. Don Henley, the only original member left in the band these days, previously said the Eagles were breaking up following Freys death. But the Eagles have broken up before, and that didnt stick either.

(10,565 posts)They certainly don't need money. As a 68 year old working musician, I plan to play until I can't! My mom played at a good level until she was 80. I'm not sure I can make it that far!

(17,134 posts)I was out on the pier, and I said, "Hey, that band's covering a Blue Öyster Cult song!" Then I got over to the bandstand, and it was them!
They were as tight as you'd expect Blue Öyster Cult to be, and they did all the great hits.
Just to provide some Eagles contrast.
