SAMMY HAGAR

With special guest Jayler

Rock icon Sammy Hagar today announced a revised itinerary for his forthcoming UK tour, bringing his top-grossing Best of All Worlds Tour to a series of more intimate, tech-forward performing arts venues. Inspired by the breakthrough success of his recent Las Vegas residency at Dolby Live, where advanced sound and immersive technology redefined the live experience, the July 2026 dates have been reconfigured to prioritise similar venues across the UK. The updated routing also allows for a special multi-night run in London, where Hagar and the band will be among the first artists to headline the soon-to-open British Airways ARC. Featuring Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony, 15-time GRAMMY® nominee and guitar virtuoso Joe Satriani and powerhouse drummer Kenny Aronoff, The Best Of All Worlds Band will perform at Wolverhampton’s Civic Hall (6 July), Manchester’s O2 Apollo (7 July), and London’s British Airways ARC (9-12 July).

Sammy Hagar said: “After waiting 30 years to come back, we really wanted to get this right. Several factors pushed us toward revising this tour but after wrapping our Las Vegas residency last month at Dolby Live where the sound, the technology, and the more intimate size really lets us connect with the audiences, it was clear that we wanted to deliver an experience like that for our fans in England. When I heard our promoter was opening a similar tech-forward venue in London that really sealed the deal for me. Three nights, a fresh set every night, and I get to stay in London, one of my favorite cities in the world, for a week. That’s the Best of All Worlds!” 

Sammy returns to the UK for his first tour since 1996, with a setlist celebrating his legendary 50+ year catalogue of hits, including the deepest dive yet into his tenure with Van Halen. The UK 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 careers. Fans can expect a setlist featuring hits like, “Why Can’t This Be Love,” “Finish What Ya Started,” ‘5150,’ “When It’s Love,” ‘Best of Both Worlds,’ ‘Poundcake,’ “Can’t Stop Lovin’ You,”  and “Best of Both Worlds,” alongside solo anthems including “I Can’t Drive 55,” and more. 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. The supergroup will take to the stage at three venues in the UK: University of Wolverhampton at the Civic Hall (6 July), Manchester O2 Apollo (7 July) and finally the London British Airways ARC (9-12 July) for a three night residency.

.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, but his journey began far from the spotlight. Born in Salinas, California in 1947 while his parents laboured in the lettuce fields, hard work was ingrained in him from birth, forging the resilience and determination that would define his life. Raised in Fontana, California, he discovered music at a young age, and in 1960 convinced his mother to buy him a $39 guitar from the Sears catalogue, making monthly payments to afford it. That humble start sparked a mindset that would take him from working-class roots to the biggest stages in the world; building a legacy as a rock legend, a committed philanthropist, and an entrepreneur who transformed the spirits industry.

ever one to slow down, Hagar has expanded into publishing, TV, and radio with five seasons of his hit series Rock & Roll Road Trip with Sammy Hagar and his syndicated radio show Sammy Hagar’s Top Rock Countdown on 90+ stations. A #1 New York Times bestselling author and committed philanthropist, he and his wife Kari have donated millions to communities across the US through The Hagar Family Foundation. Among his many honours and accolades, a Grammy Award winner (1992), an induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame (Van Halen, 2007), the first Honorary Ambassador to Los Cabos (2022), and star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame (2024) — yet he considers his greatest achievement being a devoted husband and father to his four children.
