The stage will be much more crowded than usual when the Eagles hit the road for five dates on their “Hotel California 2023” tour.

The five-city tour, which concludes with a March 3 concert at Pechanga Arena San Diego, will team the band with an orchestra and choir. Together, they will perform the famed band’s most acclaimed album, 1976’s 26-million-selling “Hotel California,” in its entirety from start to finish.

All of the dates appear below, along with ticket information, for the Eagles’ first road trip of 2023.

The concerts will also feature a greatest hits set by the Rock & Roll Hall of Famers, whose “Their Greatest Hits 1971-1977” is the best-selling U.S. album in history with sales of more than 38 million.

The San Diego show will be the first by the Eagles since the band performed a sold-out date at Petco Park in 2018. It was the group’s first area performance since the death of Eagles’ co-founder Glenn Frey in 2016.

Tickets for the general public will go on sale Oct. 28 at 10 a.m. at eagles.com. A pre-sale will be held Oct. 27 at 10 a.m.

Ticket prices for the Eagles’ San Diego concert are $129 to $469, plus service fees.
