The Eagles have extended their 2018 stadium concert tour with two new shows, both in California.

The fabled band will perform Sept. 20 at San Francisco’s AT&T Park and Sept. 22 at San Diego’s Petco Park. Ticket information appears below.

According to a press release from Live Nation, the tour’s promoter, the Zac Brown Band and the Doobie Brothers will open both the San Diego and San Francisco shows.

However, at 7 a.m. Wednesday morning, the Eagles’ website listed Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band and The Doobie Brothers as the San Diego opening acts. The Union-Tribune has reached out to Live Nation and Seger’s representative for clarification and will update this story once they clarify whether Seger or Brown will appear in San Diego.

(Update: The Zac Brown Band will perform at the Eagles’ San Diego concert, not Seger, according to a Live Nation representative. An apparent computer glitch on the Eagles’ website seems to be the reason Seger was erroneously listed.)

This will be the Eagles’ first San Diego concert since October 2014, when the band performed at SDSU’s Viejas Arena. Eagles’ co-founder Glenn Frey died Jan. 18, 2016.

The Eagles reactivated last summer with two new members on vocals and guitar — Frey’s son, Deacon, and country-music mainstay Vince Gill. The band’s lineup is anchored by Eagles’ co-founder Don Henley and longtime members Joe Walsh, a former Encinitas resident, and Timothy B. Schmit.

Tickets for the Eagles’ San Diego and San Francisco concerts go on sale to the general public on Jan. 18 at 10 a.m. at ticketmaster.com and via Ticketmaster’s charge line: (800) 745-3000.

A pre-sale begins Jan. 16 at 10 a.m. for American Express card members, San Diego Padres’ season ticket holders and fans who have the Live Nation mobile app and through SiriusXM radio.

Ticket prices for the Eagles’ Sept. 22 San Diego concert rage from $59.95 to $229.95, plus service charges.
