The Eagles are having a very Long Goodbye. After half a century of music and changing the industry with their sound, The Eagles have decided to stop making music. Aiming to honor their long and fruitful career, the band embarked on an international tour called The Long Goodbye Final Tour that has been already underway in the USA. However, the tour was recently expanded with several new dates added – this time in Europe.

The Long Goodbye – More About the Tour

Here is a fraction of the official statement from the band upon the announcement of the new tour.

“The Eagles have had a miraculous 52-year odyssey, performing for people all over the globe; keeping the music alive in the face of tragic losses, upheavals and setbacks of many kinds. Credit and thanks go to our longtime management team, our dedicated road crew, and our exceptional backup musicians for providing skilled and steadfast support, throughout these many years. We know how fortunate we are, and we are truly grateful. Our long run has lasted far longer than any of us ever dreamed. But, everything has its time, and the time has come for us to close the circle.”

And indeed, “The Long Goodbye” will honor and celebrate the musical behemoth by giving the fans a chance to say goodbye by listening to The Eagles’ most popular hits.

US Dates

Before we switch to the full list of dates of the European leg of the tour, we thought it would be great to list out the dates for the current US leg of the tour. The tour officially started back in September 2023, and lasts even now.

The first batch of dates stretched from September 7 until November 17. However, that was soon expanded with a new list of dates. Here are the current dates for the tour.

• 06/02 – St. Louis, MO (Enterprise Center)
• 10/02 – Omaha, NE (CHI Health Center Omaha)

That’s a very exciting schedule for The Eagles, and if you have a chance to attend any one of these shows, don’t miss it – this is the last time you get such a chance to witness the Eagles playing live. Or playing at all.

European Dates

Now that we’ve covered the US tour dates, here are the dates in Europe. Note that the two only locations where the concerts will take place are Manchester, UK and Arnhem in the Netherlands.

If only it weren’t for the Bass’ miss, Bills could have had hope to meet the NFC champ in Las Vegas on February 11^th. However, Tyler Bass did sink it – and even if he didn’t, Chiefs would have probably found a way – and Kansas City is meeting Baltimore next Sunday.

Who’s Who

We are one game away from seeing the biggest event in football in all of America. That game – technically two games – will decide the NFC and AFC Conference champions, and if you think that’s less important than the actual Super Bowl, you are wrong.

In the upcoming AFC Championship game, Ravens meet the Kansas City Chiefs, while NFC Championship title game is a meetup between Detroit Lions and the San Francisco 49ers. Although it might be easy to pick favorites, all four teams have very strong chances of hitting the desired result and landing a spot in Las Vegas (and even earning the trophy). Let’s see where both games will take place and how you can watch them.

AFC Conference Title Game

In the next AFC Conference title game, competing for the championship title we have Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens.

Although the two teams have had a completely different experience this season – the Ravens were the first seed while Chiefs were said to be falling off – both teams reached the championship game in hopes of lifting the trophy. Once they lift that one, they fully intend to head into Las Vegas with the same goal.

Ravens have a slight edge over Chiefs when it comes to picking the winner. Understandable, really, when we consider how put-together the Ravens team is. Simply put, they’re the full package, as they possess an All-Pro quarterback and an unmatched defense. Well, matched only by Chiefs.

On the other hand, Chiefs have been here before. They’ve been the underdog, they’ve been the favorite, and more importantly, they’ve been to the championship game. In fact, this is their sixth straight AFC championship game (and Mahomes has been here for six years). While we are on the topic of quarterbacks, let’s not fool ourselves – Mahomes is a beast. He is not going down without a hell of a fight, and this season, he refuses to give up. Plus, he’s well protected, with the best defense his team has seen so far. But the question still stands – is Chiefs best defense enough for Ravens’ offense? We’ll see on Sunday. You can buy tickets for the AFC Championship game HERE.

When: Sunday, Jan 28, 2024 at 3 PM

Where: M&T Bank Stadium, Baltimore, MD

NFC Conference Title Game

On the other side of the fence is a whole new different game. Lions and 49ers, two budding rivals, are competing for a chance to lift the trophy and get the title of NFC champions. However, unlike Ravens and Chiefs who do this almost every year, these teams haven’t had it easy. Even though the 49ers have appeared in the NFC championship games six times in the last 13 years, they haven’t won a Super Bowl since 1994. On the other hand, Lions haven’t had two playoff wins since 1957. We really don’t want to count the years, so let’s just say it’s a lot. The fans are beside themselves with each win, and rightfully so, as they are witnessing history.

So, who has the better chance of winning the game and advancing to the Super Bowl? Well, that’s a bit hard to say right now. Brock Purdy is on a mission to go all the way to the Super Bowl, and his previous performances put him at the top of the list of most successful quarterbacks today. Moreover, the 49ers offense is excellent – and Lions have a shaky defense, so that gives the Niners an advantage. On the other hand, Purdy has not had a steady performance, and Lions will definitely try to destabilize his plays further. Another thing that plays into Lions’ hands is the run track. Lions can outrun the Niners easily, which gives them an advantage over the San Francisco team. But which one will land at the Super Bowl? Again, remains to be seen on Sunday. You can buy tickets for the NFC Championship game HERE.

When: Sunday, Jan 28, 2024 at 6:30 PM

Where: Levi’s Stadium, Santa Clara, CA

This season of football is slowly picking up, with several teams breaking serious records and changing standings each week.

For the most part, former finalists and current champions Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs remain among the favourites for this season’s Super Bowl, but it’s too early to make predictions as we aren’t near the playoffs.

Moreover, as the season progresses, there’s a plethora of games to look forward to – and matches you simply should not miss. The schedule for NFL 2023/2024 season is known, but as we move past Week 11, it’s time to start thinking about the potential teams who are going into playoffs this year.

Here are some of the most common predictions for 2023 NFL playoffs – and matches you can watch once playoffs begin.

Who’s Going into Playoffs 2023

Let’s start with AFC.

Kansas City Chiefs are leading the AFC seeding chances as the number one pick. There is also a 99% chance the Chiefs will make the playoffs – as they are currently standing at 7-2, closely followed by Miami Dolphins and Baltimore Ravens (6-3 and 7-3, respectively).  The Dolphins again have a 95% chance of getting into playoffs, with Ravens being positioned third with a 91% chance.

The Jaguars are the fourth team in the conference that might get a chance to enter the 2023 playoffs with an 83% chance – which is pretty high chance, honestly. They also have a 64% chance to clinch the division. Houston Texans surprised everyone by going from a surefire number one pick to the bottom section of the list.

To sum up, the Chiefs, Dolphins, Jaguars, Browns, and the Steelers have chances to become seedings.

On the other hand, the NFC has strong standings too.

The Eagles are the absolute favorite both for the playoffs, to clinch the division and the bye week, and make it to the main event – the Super Bowl.

They are closely followed by San Francisco 49ers, who have secured their place in the playoffs with a 99% chance. Right behind the 49ers are Detroit Lions and the Dallas Cowboys, with both teams having a 97% chance of entering the playoffs. In other words, a safe bet for sure.

The Vikings are another sure bet for entering playoffs, while Seahawks and Saints have a slightly lower but still pretty solid chance of making the playoffs. Sadly, their chance of getting all the way to the Super Bowl are very low (only 2%).

However, we would not be surprised to see Bucaneers and Los Angeles Rams enter the seeding in the conference, as they might join the wild-card race too.

Super Bowl LVIII: Surprise on the Horizon or a Repeat of 2023?

While we can easily make predictions regarding playoffs, it’s still too early to say things about the final event.

Super Bowl LVIII is months away, and we are still in the Week 10 of 18 – there’s still two months before we get to the final match.

Also, for context, Super Bowl LVIII will take place on Sunday February 11, 2024, in the Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada.

For now, the top 5 teams whose chances of getting to Super Bowl LVIII are the Philadelphia Eagles, the defending champions Kansas City Chiefs, San Francisco 49ers, Miami Dolphins and Baltimore Ravens. These five teams all have chances over 20%, while remaining teams are less likely to be seen at kickoff in February in Nevada.

Important Games to Watch

If you want to feel the pulse of the season and enjoy premium-quality football – and see where things might go in the coming weeks, here are some of the game you should not miss.

Certainly one of the biggest and most anticipated games in week 11 is the Philadelphia Eagles – Kansas City Chiefs match taking place on November 20, 2023. You cah purchase the tickets for this game HERE.

This is the first time the two teams are meeting up after the Super Bowl 2023, when Chefs beat Eagles 38-35 and took the ring.

For now, odds and predictions for this match are hard to tell as they re quite balanced. The Eagles have one more win than the Chiefs, as Chiefs lost their debut season game against the Lions and the second game in the season against the Broncos.

Stay tuned for more predictions and news about Super Bowl LVIII.

November is a month that’s not really warm and not really cold. It’s directly between the summer and warm winter traditions, both of which can get pretty crazy. So, many just assume that there’s nothing fun to do in November, but that is not actually true.

We are here to introduce you to some of the best November festivals around the globe – from techno festivals in Iceland to lantern festivities in Thailand, we have a bit of something for everybody.

Dia de los Muertos

Where: Mexico and also Worldwide

When: Oct 31 – Nov 2

Dia de los Muertos is a Mexican festival honoring the dead. As the name says, Day of the Dead, is a 3-day celebration of all loved ones that have sadly passed away.

Although celebrations are held across the globe, the biggest is in Mexico City, Mexico. This is just the focal point but wherever you go, you won’t be wrong. Another place that’s quite famous is Oaxaca. The entire point of the Day of the Dead is to welcome back the souls of the dead who return to the real world for a day on November 1^st. It is believed that they pass over to this side in the night between October 31^st and November 1^st, and they have 24 hours here before they must return to the land of the dad.

That is why people decorate and put up altars with photos and food to encourage souls to visit them as they want to celebrate them for that day.

Iceland Airwaves

Where: Reykjavík, Iceland

When: Nov 2 – Nov 4

At the same time that the Day of the Dead ends, another festival begins on the other side of the world. Iceland, a country famous for being a bit isolated from others as it’s an island, is hosting a cool music festival at the beginning of the month.

The festival is a music event, so the focus is on live shows and sets by industry’s leading techno and psytrance performers. But there’s more to Iceland Airwaves than meets the eye. Airwaves brings together a massive crowd of festival-goers who enjoy events such as Tomorrowland. It’s among the most popular techno festivals, right there with Awakenings and Sónar. Each year, thousands of visitors flock to Reykjavik to celebrate music and share good vibes with others in the abandoned airplane hangar where everything began in 1999. Today, the musical event is held to celebrate the Icelandic music scene, as well as promote international artists.

Lewes Bonfire

Where: England

When: Nov 5

The movie V for Vendetta is a movie referencing the legendary Guy Fawkes Night, or the Gunpowder Treason Day. Marked on the night on November 5, the event represents a plot to blow up the entire House of Lords using gunpowder and thus assassinate the king James I (along with his entire parliament) in 1605. The assassination attempt was unsuccessful, but it left a big mark on the society of that age. Centuries later, the date was turned into the famous Bonfire Night, or the Lewes Bonfire.

In fact, the Bonfire Night is celebrated across the UK, but Lewes Bonfire refers to a more extreme celebration of the event. Lewes is a city near Sussex. Each Bonfire Night, the town of Lewes celebrates by bringing out flaming torches, typically held by costumed participants cosplaying as Vikings, pirates, etc., who also drag burning barrels of tar behind them. The main thing is the chant ‘Kill the Pope’, a quite unusual and for many, weird chant, but that’s Lewes Bonfire for you.

Diwali

Where: India, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, etc.

When: Nov 10 – Nov 15

Diwali is a Hindu festival of lights. Celebrated across India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, etc., Diwali is among the holiest of Hindu holidays taking place in November. The dates are not set in stone, so please check the dates before booking accommodation and flights to India or any other country of your choosing. If you want to participate in Diwali, you should know that this is the most important holiday for Hindus, Jains, Sikhs, and even some Buddhists. In total, over a billion people celebrate it each year, making it not just big in India, but also worldwide.

The significance of the festival lies in the battle (and win) of good over bad, light over darkness. As said, this is a lights festival, which means there are numerous lantern-releasing traditions, along with fireworks, candles, etc. Oh, and the best thing about Diwali is that celebrations typically last up to 5 days, so there’s more than enough time to enjoy the festivities with loved ones.

Chang Mai Lantern Festival

Where: Thailand

When: Nov 27 – Nov 28

Another fantastic event you should not miss are the fantastic Chang Mai Lantern festivals taking place every November in Thailand. There are two festivals that are jointly referred to as the Thailand Lantern Festivals. Yi Peng and Loy Krathong, the Thai Lantern Festivals, take place on the same day. Yi Peng refers to the practice of releasing swarms of lanterns into the sky with friends and loved ones, while Loy Krathong refers to the practice of letting lotus-shaped baskets down float down the river.

Both are magnificent displays of lights made by lanterns being released by participants as a symbol of letting the bad things go and ushering in the light. Yi Peng, the Thai Sky Lantern Festival, is celebrated in norther006E Thailand. The biggest celebrations take place in Chiang Mai, the ancient capital of the Lanna Kingdom, making this a Lanna festival. Meanwhile, Lou Krathong is a purifying event honoring the Goddess of Water. Participants release baskets with candles and flowers down the river and other waterways.
