The Eagles have expanded their forthcoming fall run, adding another eight stops to the tour, which centers around their Oct. 10 headlining gig at the Austin City Limits Festival.

The rock icons are slated to kick off the excursion with an Oct. 1 show in Reno, NV, followed by another four gigs before taking the stage Oct. 10 for closing duties of the ninth annual Austin City Limits Festival. Seven additional performances round out the American tour, which wraps up Oct. 24 in Des Moines, IA.

The band also has an Australian leg on the schedule, beginning with a two-night stand Dec. 2-3 in Darling Harbour and concluding in late December with four shows in Melbourne.

The full schedule, including international dates, are listed below.

The Eagles continue promoting their chart-topping 2007 release, "Long Road Out of Eden." The band's seventh studio album, which was their first studio effort since 1979's "The Long Run," won Best Instrumental Pop Performance at the 2009 Grammy Awards.

KFC Yum! Center...dear God, what's this world coming to.

Oh, and I got 2 Words for Don Henley....Joe F**KIN' Walsh. (Dennis Leary)...

^5 to that! I LOVE Joe Walsh!! Got to meet him and Jeff Lynne at the TP&TH Hollywood Bowl concert in 2008. I almost peed myself, lol.

^Damn Refugee...you are so lucky! I am going to see them in Piedmont Park, Atlanta. Saw them during the Hell Freezes Over Tour in Orlando. Can't wait for October!!! I can't imagine how cool it would be to meet Jeff, Joe AND Mike Campbell....you California folks have got it made and must live in a place as close to heaven as it comes. I live on the edge of the Okefenokee Swamp...don't get access to a lot of celebrities here, LOL!

^Lizzie, I like Long Road Out of Eden, kind of. My favorite song off the CD is called Waiting in the Weeds. It's Don Henley and I seem to always like his voice. Although I've got to agree with Ref and the others that Joe Walsh is my favorite. Last time I saw them it was back in Feb 2009 and they still played a lot of hits so whether you know the new stuff or not, that doesn't really matter. You'll still hear lots of their older stuff.

Also theses guys have been on tour foreverrrrrrr now. I remember years ago they claimed they were having their "Farewell" tour. Clearly they aren't going anywhere anytime soon!

I thought they did a farewell tour in 2008....so much for that, or it's still going! I too like Waiting In The Weeds, the harmonies are spectacular!!!
