Eagles’ First Shows Out of the Sphere
The inclusion of Eagles at next year’s Jazz Fest is significant as it will be their first performance outside of the Sphere in Las Vegas since 2024. Their residency there will conclude in March 2026.
Meanwhile, Stewart will be in the midst of his farewell tour when he performs in New Orleans, and Byrne will also be on a global tour supporting his latest album, Who Is the Sky?. Currently, Jazz Fest is the only show Nicks has scheduled for 2026.
