Celebrating over 50 years since the formation of the legendary West Coast Country Rock band The Eagles in 1971, The Illegal Eagles bring their all new 2025 Desperado Tour to De Montfort Hall on Saturday 31 May 2025 for another outstanding show promising more of their trademark musical prowess, acute attention to detail and incredible showmanship.
This critically acclaimed show features the very best from the Eagles’ catalogue of classics including Hotel California, Desperado, and Life In The Fast Lane, as well as a few deeper cuts from the Eagles iconic 1973 album, Desperado.
Formed in 1996, The Illegal Eagles have now been on the road continuously for almost three decades – pausing briefly (but reluctantly!) while the world came to terms with the pandemic.
The latest all-star line-up of the show, produced as ever by Phil Aldridge, features Tony Kiley (formerly from 80’s sensation The Blow Monkeys) on drums, Trevor Newnham (Dr Hook) vocals and bass, Greg Webb vocals and guitars, Mike Baker, vocals and guitars and Garreth Hicklin, vocals and guitars.
Garreth, Greg, Trevor, and Mike effortlessly capture the vocal style and delivery of Eagles band members Henley, Walsh, Frey, Schmidt and Meisner, and are masters of their respective instruments.
The Eagles themselves were formed in Los Angeles in 1971 by founders Glenn Frey and Don Henley. With five number-one singles, six number one albums, six Grammy awards and five American Music awards, the Eagles were one of the most successful musical acts in the 1970s.
The Eagles have since gone on to become one of the world’s best-selling bands, having sold more than 200 million records, including 100 million albums sold in the US alone.
Their incredible songbook lives on in The Illegal Eagles, in a memorable evening featuring over two hours of classic country rock hits.
