Eaglemania books a late-February Sunday at The Carolina Opry

The Eagles tribute returns to the 2,200-seat Kings Highway theater on Feb. 21, giving off-season Grand Strand a night of harmonies and long guitar solos.

February is when the Grand Strand belongs to the people who live here. The rentals sit empty, Kings Highway moves at a reasonable speed, and a Sunday night out doesn't mean fighting for parking. That's the crowd The Carolina Opry is playing to with a date it announced Oct. 20: Eaglemania: The World's Greatest Eagles Tribute Band plays the theater on Sunday, Feb. 21, 2027.

Doors open at 6 p.m. and the show starts at 7. Tickets are sold directly through the Opry's concerts page, which already lists the February date.

If the name sounds familiar, it should. Eaglemania has become a regular on the Opry's concert calendar. The theater's own event pages show the band in the room this past summer and again on Sept. 27, and February gives anyone who missed those nights another chance, with the tourists long gone.

The billing says what the show is. According to the Opry's Eaglemania page, the set runs through the Eagles' greatest hits along with select solo material from Don Henley, Glenn Frey and Joe Walsh. The listing puts the weight where an Eagles tribute succeeds or fails: five-part harmony and virtuoso guitar work, with a sound built to sit close to the records. The theater describes the band as having dazzled audiences for more than a decade.

The harmonies are the whole job, and a 2,200-seat theater is the right size to hear them.

The room is a real part of the appeal. The Carolina Opry, on North Kings Highway in Myrtle Beach, holds 2,200 people. That's big enough to feel like a proper concert night, with a full house singing along to the choruses, and small enough that stacked vocals don't get swallowed the way they can in an arena. It's a theater built for shows, with seats facing a stage, and that suits a catalog where the sound matters more than spectacle.

The Opry books visiting acts like this through its Performing Arts Series, alongside its own house productions. One fine-print note is worth knowing: the Opry's event pages say these shows are independently produced, and performer lineups and show content can change at the organizer's discretion without notice. Before you head out, check the event page for any updates.

For anyone deciding whether to make the drive, this is a show built on familiarity. Nobody is there to discover anything new. People come to hear songs they've carried around for decades, sung back by players who have spent years learning every vocal blend and guitar part. The tribute circuit runs on that kind of craft, and the Opry has made it a steady part of its concert calendar, alongside acts honoring Jimmy Buffett, the Beatles and the Doors.

Make the plan now if a winter night out is what you need: a Sunday in late February, a warm room off Kings Highway, and two hours of songs most of the crowd could sing without a lyric sheet. There are worse ways to wait out the off-season.
