The Eagles have added eight more shows to their Sphere residency: October 3, 4, 10, 11, and 31, and November 1, 7, and 8. But despite what other media outlets are reporting, it’s not checkout time. Ads for the shows merely describe them as the “final Sphere shows of 2025.”

By the time Dead & Company play their final scheduled shows on May 17, they will hold the lead at 48 shows to the Eagles’ 44, so it seems likely that Don Henley’s crew — who have Sphere owner James Dolan‘s blessing to play as many shows as they want — will surpass that number. (U2, the Sphere’s first headliners, performed 40.)

The new Eagles dates, starting at $175 each, go on sale at 10 am Friday, April 18 at eagles.com. Presales begin at 10 am Tuesday, April 15, with registration starting now at the same website. And Vibee travel packages are available now at eagles.vibee.com

Oddest Vegas Crossover Ever

It’s unusual for Las Vegas headliners to guest on one another’s stages, but what happened Saturday night at the MGM Grand Garden Area stands as probably the most unusual Vegas crossover yet.

“On Saturday, after my Reflection show, we changed my clothes, dried my hair, and headed over to catch the @paparoach show down the street,” Carrie Underwood wrote on Instagram. “Not only did I get to perform ‘Leave A Light On’ with them, but I got called BACK out to do ‘Last Resort,’ because, why not?!”

Check out the video…




This surreal performance marked the first time Underwood and the hard rockers performed live together, but they collaborated on recording a new version of Papa Roach’s “Leave a Light On (Talk Away the Dark)” last year to benefit suicide prevention.

Underwood wraps up her “Reflection” residency on April 12. She began it four years ago as the first artist to perform at Resorts World.

Festival to Get Jazzed for

The Las Vegas Jazz Society will host a 50th anniversary festival at the Winchester Cultural Center, at 3131 McLeod Drive, from 3-8 pm on April 26 and 27. The list of performers hasn’t been announced yet. Admission is free but reservations are required. Make them here.
