Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Sammy Hagar announced “The Best Of All Worlds” 2024 tour. Hagar will be joined by rock heavyweights and longtime bandmates Michael Anthony (bass, backing vocals), Jason Bonham (drums) and revealed exclusively on SiriusXM’s The Howard Stern Show yesterday that Joe Satriani, one of the best guitar players in the world, will complete the band.
Produced by Live Nation and featuring special guests Loverboy, the 28-date tour will commence on July 13 in West Palm Beach, FL. Pre-sales begin on Wednesday, November 15 at 10 AM. General on-sale begins Friday, November 17 at 10 AM local time. For tickets and more details, go to RedRocker.com.
The tour follows on the heels of the chart-topping success of “The Collection II”, the box set released October 6 featuring newly remastered versions of the four consecutive #1 albums released during the Hagar era of Van Halen. A reminder to fans of the arsenal of hits, many which haven’t been played live since the band’s 2004 reunion tour.
Collectively, Anthony, Satriani, and Bonham have played together in nearly every phase of Hagar’s career including Van Halen, Chickenfoot, and The Circle, so fans can expect a setlist that draws from some of the biggest rock anthems of the last 4-decades, including, “Finish What Ya Started”, “5150”, “Your Love is Driving Me Crazy”, “Best of Both Worlds”, “Poundcake”, “Sexy Little Thing”, “One Way To Rock”, “Right Now”, “Good Enough”, “Eagles Fly” and more. They’ve also enlisted legendary Australian musician, Rai Thistlethwayte on keyboard and backing vocals. The tour represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see this band of brothers deliver one of the most legendary hits-packed live shows of their career.
“It’s crazy to think that it’ll be 20 years since Mikey and I played these songs with Van Halen on the 04’ Best of Both Worlds Tour,” said Hagar. “With Joe on board, we can take a deeper dive into those years. We’re going to touch on some hits from my entire career but seeing fans old and new really embrace the new collection set off something in Mikey and I. We were at my Birthday Bash in Cabo for my 76th and looked at each other and high-fived, like ‘let’s do it.’ We pulled out a couple of them and it was an instant lovefest with the fans from our first riffs. The music we created is going to outlive us all. They deserve to be heard so it’s time we go out and serve the fans that music, while we still can.”
