A Brief Timeline of Eagles Sphere Residency Rumors

Rumors of an Eagles Sphere residency first began in February. At that time, the band was in talks about playing the Sphere, but a deal was not finalized.

In March, The New York Post reported the Eagles booked a residency that will stretch over 10 weekends from September through December. Obviously, that report was a bit exaggerated, since the actual residency is four weekends.

The Eagles are still in the middle of their farewell tour. When the farewell tour was first announced, the Eagles noted they would be rolling out dates and venues once they are confirmed. As of publishing, the only show’s the band has scheduled are the Sphere dates. However, The New York Post‘s report back in March said the residency is expected to follow the end of their “The Long Goodbye” farewell tour.

Whether or not the Eagles Sphere residency shows will be the official end to their farewell tour has yet to be confirmed.

Not Everyone Wants to Play the Sphere

Considering the newness and the technology offered by the Sphere, many would assume bands would be jumping at the chance to book the venue. Believe it or not, that’s not the case.

In March, Jon Bon Jovi told Ultimate Classic Rock that Bon Jovi was asked to be the second band after U2 to perform a residency at the venue. The singer said he was at the opening night of U2’s residency and was in awe of the Sphere’s technology and scope.

However, Bon Jovi expressed uncertainty about how long it would take to develop a Sphere show and what a Bon Jovi inside the Sphere would even look like. This appears to be a large part of why the band turned down the residency offer.

He said, “I was there on opening night, and, of course, that’s the first thing that goes through your mind, ‘How would I present this?’ … I don’t see, necessarily, how I could pull that one off.”

5 Rock Acts We'd Like to See at the Las Vegas Sphere

  • David Gilmour

    Gilmour doesn’t perform much anymore, so having him do a Sphere residency would be really special. He undoubtedly has enough of a catalog to warrant such a grand venue. Also, you just know he could really bring an impressive visual experience, too. A Gilmour Sphere residency would continue to make the venue the most in-demand attraction in Vegas.

  • Tool

    Let’s just say it: Maynard James Keenan is a f—ing weirdo. (Yes, we do mean that in a positive way.) It would be fascinating to see how he would play to such a larger-than-life venue. As far as visuals go, their existing music videos could be projected on the massive screens, and it would be outstanding! The video for “Vicarious” alone would be trippy AF. Of course, Tool would likely create original visuals for the performance just because they could.

  • Paul McCartney

    How do you make a larger-than-life rock figure even larger? Have them take on Sphere! If anyone could do it, it’s obviously Sir Paul. Like with Gilmour, there’s an ample catalog to play with. Plus, he’d be able to sell out countless nights at the venue. Nothing but wins all around for this one!

  • Nine Inch Nails

    Giving Trent Reznor the kind of visual freedom Sphere could offer would be interesting, to say the least. It would just be fascinating to see what he would do with all of the technology. He would surely come up with a concept literally only he could dream up. Let’s hope a NIN residency will eventually become a reality.

  • Slipknot

    Remember how we noted Sphere is capable of “atmospheric simulations including fog, scent and wind”? Just imagine how Slipknot would utilize scent in a venue. Sure, there’s a good chance it would be gross, but it’s not like you’d want some earthy patchouli incense at a Slipknot show. Plus, their visuals are overwhelming at their shows already. Just think of what they would do with those screens!
