Loverboy will guest on all tour dates
Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Sammy Hagar has announced the long-awaited The Best of All Worlds 2024 tour. Hagar will be joined by rock heavyweights and longtime bandmates Michael Anthony on bass and backing vocals, Jason Bonham on drums and revealed exclusively on SiriusXM’s The Howard Stern Show this morning (Tues, Nov 14th) 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 13th in West Palm Beach, FL and will conclude on August 31st in St. Louis, MO.
Pre-sales begin on Wednesday, November 15th at 10 am. General on-sale begins Friday, November 17th at 10 am local via Ticketmaster.
“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,” states 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.”
Following their interview and performance on The Howard Stern Show on Sirius Channel 100, Hagar, Anthony, Satriani and Bonham will participate in a press conference starting at 10 am PT from SiriusXM’s Hollywood Studios, hosted by Eddie Trunk and airing on Wednesday, November 15th on Trunk Nation on Faction Talk Channel 103. In addition on Wednesday, Hagar will be interviewed on Access Hollywood and Access Daily, and on Thursday, November 16th, he chats with Rob Lowe on his podcast Literally! With Rob Lowe.
The tour follows on the heels of the chart-topping success of The Collection II, the box set released October 6th featuring newly remastered versions of the four consecutive No. 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 which draws from some of the biggest rock anthems of the last four-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,” 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.
