It's Official: Don Henley To Play AAC July 22nd

The gag order's off & now we can tell all... Texas native, Rock & Roll Hall Of Famer, 8-time Grammy Award winner, co-founder of the legendary Eagles, & solo star in his own right, Don Henley, is coming home to celebrate his birthday with a show at American Airlines Center July 22nd.

Don Henley concert tickets go on-sale this Friday at 11 am, but you can sign up to win 'em from Classic Rock 96-1 right now. Just join Rock Nation's Newsletter (it also gives you an edge for future contests) & register.

Note that this event falls on the weekend in between those two huge music festivals The Eagles will be headlining: Classic West in Los Angeles July 15th-16th & Classic East in New York July 29th-30th. That unique timeline, in combination with the reality of what a big deal turning 70 is for a rock star, has created tons of speculation about Don Henley's Dallas performance being loaded with surprise "special guests" planning to show up & join the party on stage.

And in case you were wondering, word is Don Henley's set-list will include titles from his entire career-catalogue, both with the band & on his own.

Here's video from the Eagles' 1998 Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame induction ceremony performance, including all the enshrined members of the group:
