“I can’t wait to cross the Atlantic with the Best of All Worlds Band,” said Sammy Hagar. “Fans in the UK and Europe have waited a long time—and so have I!”
The July 2026 tour will see Sammy Hagar and his Best of All Worlds Band playing a packed setlist of career-spanning hits, from seminal breakouts with Montrose, his iconic solo hits, and a deep dive into his tenure with Van Halen, Chickenfoot, and everything in between, including the likes of ‘Finish What Ya Started,’ ‘5150,’ ‘Your Love is Driving Me Crazy,’ ‘Best of Both Worlds,’ ‘Poundcake,’ ‘Why Can’t This Be Love,’ ‘I Can’t Drive 55’ and so many more. The supergroup will take to the stage at four huge arenas in the UK: Manchester AO Arena (4 July), Birmingham BP Pulse Live (5 July), Leeds First Direct Bank Arena (7 July), and finally the O2 Arena in London (9 July). This will be the first time Sammy Hagar has performed Van Halen classics in the UK since the band’s iconic Wembley Stadium shows 30 years ago.
Joining them on the tour will be the iconic Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, with her first UK live shows in 15 years. Joan Jett is known as the Godmother of Punk, starting her music career in 1975 with The Runaways. She went on to form Joan Jett & The Blackhearts in 1980 and release some huge hits, and fans can expect to see them play the likes of ‘I Love Rock N’ Roll’, ‘Bad Reputation’ and ‘Cherry Bomb’ (taken from Joan Jett’s career with The Runaways).
In step with the excitement of their UK tour announcement is the band’s just released live album, Sammy Hagar & The Best of All Worlds Band – The Residency. The electrifying 19-track album recorded during Hagar’s hit Las Vegas residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM in 2025, captures the raw energy and incredible hit setlist, which will be showcased live on tour in the UK.

ABOUT SAMMY HAGAR
About Sammy Hagar
For more than four decades, Sammy Hagar has been recognized as one of the best and most accomplished lead singers and songwriters in rock music. From breaking into the industry with the seminal hard rock band Montrose, to his multi-platinum solo career, to his ride as the frontman of Van Halen, Chickenfoot, The Circle, and more, Hagar has amassed 25 Platinum albums on sales surpassing 50 million worldwide. Along his journey, he has set the tone for some of the greatest rock anthems ever written with songs like “I Can’t Drive 55,” “Right Now,” and “Why Can’t This Be Love,” and earned the highest respect of the music industry with a Grammy Award and induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Since opening his flagship Cabo Wabo Cantina in 1990, he’s turned a lifelong passion for great food, music and spirits into a thriving and iconic lifestyle brand encompassing restaurants and spirits. A pioneer in the spirits industry, he launched Cabo Wabo Tequila in 1996 and catapulted it into the #2-selling premium tequila brand in the United States. In 2010, Hagar sold his interests in Cabo Wabo Tequila to Gruppo Campari in a 9-figure deal that’s widely credited as the start of the celebrity-owned spirits trend. He now owns an award-winning portfolio of top-shelf spirits and beer that embody that same spirit of Baja beach life and rock ‘n’ roll. They include Sammy’s Beach Bar Rum, a partnership with rock icon Rick Springfield, Santo Spirits, a partnership with tastemaker Guy Fieri, and Red Rocker Brewing Co. Never one to hit the brakes, Sammy’s also expanded his successes into publishing, TV, radio and beyond, including five seasons of his hit TV show “Rock & Roll Road Trip with Sammy Hagar” and as host of “Sammy Hagar’s Top Rock Countdown,” a weekly syndicated radio show on 90+ US stations. He’s a #1 NYT bestselling author, a dedicated philanthropist- donating millions back to local communities through his private non-profit The Hagar Family Foundation, and the first Honorary Ambassador to Los Cabos, an honor he was bestowed in 2022 in recognition of his longtime investment in the people and economy of Mexico.
