Brighton Hosts The Illegal Eagles

The Illegal Eagles' story began in the summer of 1996, when founder, producer, and director Phil Aldridge first brought the tribute act to life. Since then, the group has been touring and performing the Eagles' legendary music, honing their craft and building a loyal fan base.

Their current line-up, which includes Tony Kiley, formerly of The Blow Monkeys, and Trevor Newnham, previously of Dr Hook, alongside Greg Webb, Mike Baker, and Garreth Hicklin, has a combined total of over 55 years of membership in The Illegal Eagles. This wealth of experience and dedication to the music is evident in their performances, which have been described as a "masterclass in musicianship" by The Observer.

The 'Their Greatest Hits' Tour, which comes to the Theatre Royal Brighton on Monday, 2 November 2026, and runs until Saturday, 24 April 2027, promises to deliver a stunning live concert experience. The show features the iconic album performed in its entirety, bringing timeless songs such as _Take It Easy_, _Lyin’ Eyes_, _One of These Nights_, and _Desperado_ to life on stage. Alongside the full album performance, the show also includes favourites from across the Eagles' remarkable catalogue, including _Hotel California_ and _Life in the Fast Lane_.

The Illegal Eagles' commitment to their craft is evident in their attention to detail and their ability to recreate the Eagles' signature sound. During the pandemic, the band recorded two studio albums, Under the Influence Volumes 1 and 2, and ventured into live-streaming, reaching over 75,000 people with their online concerts. This dedication to their music and their fans has earned them a reputation as one of the leading Eagles tribute acts.
