The Best of All Worlds Band will perform four arena dates in July
Rock icon Sammy Hagar has announced that his top-grossing Best of All Worlds Tour is headed to the UK for a four-night arena tour in July 2026. The Red Rocker will be joined by his supergroup The Best of All Worlds Band, including legendary guitarist Joe Satriani, fellow Rock & Roll Hall of Famer and longtime Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony, and powerhouse drummer Kenny Aronoff, with special guest Joan Jett & The Blackhearts and opening act Jayler. Hagar returns to the UK for his first tour since 1996, with a setlist celebrating his legendary 50+ year catalog of hits, including the deepest dive yet into his tenure with Van Halen. The July 2026 tour will hit Manchester, Birmingham and Leeds, ending with a grand finale at London’s O2 Arena.
Tickets go on general sale on Friday, October 31st at 10 am local time.
“I can’t wait to cross the Atlantic with the Best of All Worlds Band,” Hagar says. “Fans in the UK and Europe have waited a long time—and so have I!”
The run will see the group play 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. The supergroup will take to the stage at four huge arenas in the UK, starting on July 4th at Manchester AO Arena. 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.
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. The group returns to Vegas in 2026.
