    Default Don Henley's Mini Summer Tour of the Midwest and Northeast.

    It looks like Don will be doing a mini summer tour in June. Mostly midwest and northeast cities.

    I had a feeling he would do a tour in the summer. Do I have to say who's his opening act is. Why can't we get artist like Jewel or Shawn as an opening act. We always get JD & The Straight Shot.

    June 6, 2017 Boston, MA; Blue Hills Bank Pavilion
    June 8, 2017 National Harbor, MD; MGM National Harbor
    June 10, 2017 Bethlehem, PA;The Sands Bethlehem Event Center
    June 13, 2017 Toronto, ON Canada; Budweiser Stage
    June 15, 2017 Cincinnati, OH; PNC Pavilion @ Riverbend Music Center
    June 17, 2017 Chicago, IL; Northerly Island
    June 18, 2017 Saint Paul, MN; Xcel Energy Center
    July 22, 2017 Dallas, TX;American Airlines Center With Special Guests

    I think tickets go onsale for the public this Friday. Of course presale probably starts tomorrow.

    Brothers for life. RIP Glenn

    I'm not sure I believe in fate, but I know that crossing paths with Glenn Lewis Frey in 1970 changed my life forever, and it eventually had an impact on the lives of millions of other people all over the planet. It will be very strange going forward in a world without him in it. But, I will be grateful, every day, that he was in my life. Rest in peace, my brother. You did what you set out to do, and then some." -Don Henley

    It's because JD (James Dolan) is a mate of Irving's.

    Dolan will play rock'n'roll star for as long as he feels like it, but I doubt it's based solely on a friendship with Azoff. I think he pays them in order to be their opening act. That's just speculation, but it would explain why Don allows it... he gets a cut!

    I just found it strange that we get JD in the US, but he gets other popular stars (e.g. Jewel and Shawn) opening for him when he's touring in Europe and Australia. I wonder if its cheaper for him to have Jewel or Shawn opening for him across the pond than in the US. I rather listen to Jewel or Shawn than JD & the Straight Shot.

    I'm thinking Dolan just doesn't have the time to travel overseas.

    I remember when Don consistently had cool opening acts in the USA, too... now he only does if Dolan is busy elsewhere.

    JD was support for Don in Europe last summer - maybe Australia and NZ were just to far for JD to travel - they were the lucky ones - it will take me a long time to forget Ballyhoo

    Indeed, I also remember Ballyhoo (not to mention it's extremely long winded introduction!). In fact it makes me laugh just thinking of it! It bordered on 'so bad, it's good'!

    I found most of their other songs bearable, if not exactly memorable (although I must admit I personally found it much more enjoyable to ignore JD and watch his female backing singer instead!).

    lol! I stand corrected! It's definitely unfortunate Dolan found the time for Europe, my friend!

    I forgot he was in Europe with Don. Shawn was with Don on the first leg of the tour in 2015.
