For the Eagles, the tour represents one of those rare occasions where the band isn’t the sole act on the bill. Most Eagles concerts have been presented as “an evening with…” making this triple bill of rock and country one of the more interesting packages touring this year.
However, Urban is not appearing on a few select shows. We’ll give you the rundown and then dive into the particulars.
The tour begins in Toronto at Rogers Centre June 8, travels to E. Rutherford, N.J., for a show at the New Meadowlands Stadium June 10. Foxboro, Mass., is the third date with the tour landing at Gillette Stadium June 12.

Then it’s on to Philadelphia and Citizens Bank Ball Park June 14; Washington, D.C., at Nationals Park June 15; Chicago at Soldier Field June 19; Winnipeg at Canada Inns Stadium June 22 and St. Louis at Busch Stadium June 24.
Urban will not appear on the tour opener in Toronto nor the last two stops in Winnipeg and St. Louis.
The tour marks the first time the Dixie Chicks – Martie Maguire, Emily Robison and Natalie Maines – have toured in four years. And in case you were wondering, none of the acts has ever toured together.
