Dubai, UAE – April 12, 2025 marked a monumental day in the history of live music in the Middle East, as legendary American rock band The Eagles took to the stage at The Sevens Stadium for their first-ever concert in the region.
With decades of hits behind them and millions of fans across generations, the band delivered an unforgettable performance that lived up to the global hype.
A Night to Remember
The concert began under the warm desert sky as fans gathered from across the UAE and neighboring countries, many of whom had waited a lifetime to see The Eagles live.
The show kicked off shortly after 7 PM with a flawless performance of the iconic hit “Hotel California,” setting the tone for a night filled with nostalgia, emotion, and timeless rock and roll.
Don Henley, Joe Walsh, and Timothy B. Schmit—along with supporting musicians—took the crowd on a journey through the band’s 50+ year legacy.
The performance included all-time classics like Take It Easy, Desperado, Life in the Fast Lane, One of These Nights, Lyin’ Eyes, and Take It to the Limit.
Solo fan-favorites like Joe Walsh’s “Life’s Been Good” and Don Henley’s “Boys of Summer” added even more depth to the evening’s repertoire.
