Sammy Announces Major US Tour Plans

[AUGuy5150]

Forget birthday candles, Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Famer and former Van Halen
front man Sammy Hagar will celebrate his birthday in unique rock 'n' roll
fashion. Hagar has announced plans to launch an upcoming cross-country
tour to include 60 stops starting at his annual birthday bash at his Cabo
Wabo Cantina in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Hagar's 60-stop tour will
conclude in St. Louis at Busch Stadium on July 12, 2008, and will include
performances by a number of special celebrity friends. Hagar will also
release a single on Cabo Wabo Music® called "Open," which will be released
to rock and classic rock radio stations on July 2nd and will also be
available to fans for download via iTunes.

The sure to be hard rockin' show Hagar will be bringing to fans on his
tour will include 3 jam-packed hours of performances by Sammy Hagar and
core Sammy rockers. Hagar will be, in a sense, stuffing his amazing Cabo
Wabo(tm) Village that accompanied him at each stop of last summer's
Livin' It Up! Tour into the indoor venues on the upcoming tour. All this
to create the Cabo Wabo vibe that devoted RedHeads have come to know and
love. Each show will open with former Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony's
Mad Anthony Express performing early Van Halen numbers and a variety of
early rock classics. Next, fans will be treated to a performance by Los
Tres Gusanos which will play early Sammy Hagar songs and, finally, Hagar
and Anthony will come together as The Other Half (of Van Halen),
performing a number of Van Halen tunes from the Sammy Hagar era. Tickets
for the tour will go on sale soon. Fans can check www.redrocker.com for
more tour information as it becomes available.

"The honor of being inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame is simply
awesome; it's been a great year all around and I feel like celebrating,
which of course means rockin' out," said Hagar. I just have to figure out
how to squeeze an outdoor show into an indoor venue, but I'll get it done.
It's going to be one red-hot, kick ass fiesta."

Hagar made the exciting tour announcement on, Wednesday, June 20th at his
red carpet DVD launch party at the Pageant Concert Nightclub in St. Louis
where Hagar held a special screening of his live DVD Livin' It Up! In St.
Louis as well as a rare unplugged acoustic performance by Sammy Hagar and
The Wabos. Tickets to last night's screening and performance sold out in
a matter of seconds, believed to be record timing for a sold out show in
St. Louis. Hagar also holds the city record for selling more tickets in
St. Louis than any other musical entertainer in St. Louis history. The
Livin' It Up! In St. Louis DVD was released on Tuesday, June 19, by Image
Entertainment and includes live footage from the St. Louis stop of Hagar's
summer 2006 cross-country "Livin' It Up" Tour as well as bonus interviews,
tour footage and music videos.

As a testament to his long lasting and thriving music career, 2007 has
held a number of accolades and highlights for Hagar. In March, he was
inducted into the prestigious Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame with his fellow
Van Halen bandmates. Hagar was also honored by the San Francisco chapter
of The Recording Academy at the 2007 Recording Academy Honors event
(formerly The Governor's Award) in April for his outstanding work of
excellence and integrity. Most recently, Hagar sold 80% of his Cabo Wabo
Tequila brand to Gruppo Campari's Skyy Spirits.

You sure your not confusing him with somebody else?

I never knew Sammy went to Australia with his solo band....

He did in fact go down under. In an ironic twist of fate he was there at approximately the same time as the VHIII Cherone Tour was.Although the fuckin album sucked the tour was pretty good with all the old Dave stuff and of course take out Gary sacheing around the stage...

[ZORBA5150]

so I guess Mike will not be touring with Van Halen anytime soon. that sucks

[RKVH5150]

Hopefully there will be a new full album and the tour will reach the southeast.

Whatever happened to Chicken Foot?

[ED'S A 20THCENTURY MOZART]

so I guess Mike will not be touring with Van Halen anytime soon. that sucks

that's exactly what i speculated....but if ed calls you know michael will be there. If anything for us fans he will.
he may talk sammy into opening up,lol.(the show that is)

[TheresOnlyOneWay]

Looks like a trip to Phx. is in order. VIP is sold out for Phx. Anyone know what the prices are so I can anticipate the cost?

[Raldo]

I'm hoping Sammy makes his annual Connecticut stop.
I like the Mohegan Sun arena better than Foxwoods Fox Theater.
Maybe he will come up towards Hartford.
