Rock and Roll Hall of Fame group the Eagles announced Friday the band’s Des Moines concert has been rescheduled. Originally set for March 21, the group will now perform at Wells Fargo Arena on March 26.
All tickets will be honored at the new date and fans unable to attend
the rescheduled date can seek a refund at the point of purchase. Tickets are still for sale and cost $99.50, $149.50 or $229.50 before fees via Hy-VeeTix.com. The show kicks off at 8 p.m.
One of the best-selling groups in American rock ‘n’ roll history, the
Eagles return to Des Moines following the January 2016 death of
co-founding member Glenn Frey. The group announced earlier this year
that Frey’s son, Deacon Frey, and Grammy Award-winning country
songwriter Vince Gill would replace Glenn Frey on the road.
The California-born band last played Des Moines on Sept. 6, 2014;
Eagles guitarist Joe Walsh performed solo at the arena in 2017, opening
for the late Tom Petty in what would be his last Iowa appearance.
The scheduled Des Moines show, coined “Evening with the Eagles,” comes ahead of a planned summer stadium tour for the group alongside the likes of Jimmy Buffet, James Taylor and Chris Stapleton.
Known for blurring the lines of country, rock ‘n’ roll and traditional
pop music, the Eagles — composed of remaining members Walsh, Don Henley
and Timothy B. Schmit — found world-renowned success in the 1970s for
numbers such as “Hotel California,” “Take it
Easy,” “Life in the Fast Lane,” “Desperado,” “Take it to the Limit” and
“Lyin’ Eyes.” The group has sold an estimated 120 million albums
worldwide.
The new
show date is scheduled for the night after pop favorite Lorde is set to
perform at the arena, March 25. Find more information at iowaeventscenter.com.
