SAMMY HAGAR

with special guest Joan Jett and the Blackhearts

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.
