Overview
- Sammy Hagar, who announced the change Monday, reworked July dates from big arenas to Wolverhampton Civic Hall on July 6, O2 Apollo Manchester on July 7, and a three-night stand at London’s new British Airways ARC on July 9, 11, and 12.
- Tickets go on general sale Friday, April 24 at 10 a.m. local time, and original buyers will get priority presale access plus 10% off merchandise at the shows.
- The Best Of All Worlds lineup features Hagar with former Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony, guitar virtuoso Joe Satriani, and drummer Kenny Aronoff.
- Promoter AEG says the move follows his Dolby Live residency in Las Vegas that used advanced sound and immersive staging, with new U.K. venues holding roughly 3,400–3,800 people instead of 10,000–23,000-plus.
- The shows mark Hagar’s first U.K. tour since 1996 with a setlist spanning his 50-plus years, including a deeper dive into Van Halen-era songs like Why Can’t This Be Love and I Can’t Drive 55.
