Dates are set for March and September
On the eve of his return to Las Vegas to perform at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Festival, Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Sammy Hagar has announced the return of his hit The Best of All Worlds residency to Dolby Live at Park MGM for 11 performances for March 11-21 and September 18-26, 2026.
The 2026 residency will reunite Hagar with the powerhouse Best of All Worlds Band featuring fellow Hall of Famer and original Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony, 15-time Grammy nominee and guitar virtuoso Joe Satriani, powerhouse drummer Kenny Aronoff, and multi-instrumentalist Rai Thistlethwayte. The high-octane “only in Las Vegas” show is a celebration of Hagar’s legendary catalog, including the deepest dive yet into his tenure with Van Halen. The Las Vegas residency 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 careers.
“I can’t tell you how hard it’s been not to leak this announcement,” Hagar says. “Those last nine shows were some of the best shows I’ve done in my life. I love this band like no other and can’t wait to do it again. One listen to the live residency record coming out and you will understand this is my idea of retirement! Beats golf any day.”
Presales start tomorrow (Tues, Sept 16th) at 10 am local time ahead of the general sale on Friday, September 19th.
Adding to the excitement, Hagar will release Sammy Hagar & The Best of All Worlds Band – The Residency, a 19-track live album recorded during his first Dolby Live run, on October 10, 2025, via Big Machine Rock. The album captures rare deep cuts and Van Halen favorites, with the first advance track, “Summer Nights (Live),” available now on all DSPs.
Custom-built for Dolby Live’s intimate and electric atmosphere, The Best of All Worlds delivers an unfiltered connection to the music that defined a generation. With fresh setlists each night, Hagar dusts off Van Halen deep cuts, solo anthems, and fan favorites not heard live in decades. The residency was a critical and box office hit, with fans and media alike calling it one of the strongest rock residencies in Las Vegas history.
I can’t tell you how hard it’s been not to leak this announcement. I must say those last nine shows were some of the best shows I’ve done in my life. I love this band like no other and can’t wait to do it again. One listen to the live residency record coming out and you will… pic.twitter.com/5MpoAFSpb9
