"We're celebrating the legacy of the music and bringing it to a whole new generation of fans": Sammy Hagar promises "deep dive into the Van Halen years" on Best Of All Worlds tour dates with Rick Springfield

Sammy Hagar has added another run of dates to his Best Of All Worlds schedule. The Red Rocker will play eight shows in June, kicking off at the Hollywood Casino Amphitheater in St. Louis, MO, and wrapping up with a pair of dates at the MGM National Harbor in Oxon Hill, MD.

Rick Springfield will play support at all dates apart from the Oxon Hill shows. Pre-sale tickets go on sale via Hagar's site tomorrow (January 13) at 10am local time, with the general sale kicking off on Friday.

"We’re celebrating the legacy of the music and bringing it to a whole new generation of fans," says Hagar, who will be joined onstage by former Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony, guitarist Joe Satriani, and drummer Kenny Aronoff. The set is described as "a deep dive into the Van Halen years" and will presumably include songs by Montrose and from Hagar's solo career.

The dates are in addition to Hagar's ongoing residency in Las Vegas and to his UK arena tour, which takes place in July. Full dates below.

Hagar will also play a date at the Full Throttle Saloon in Sturgis, SD, on August 8, during the annual motorcycle rally. The Sturgis date, which arrives the day after David Lee Roth plays a headline show at the rally, is billed as "Sammy Hagar & Friends", suggesting that the two Van Halen frontmen could, in theory, put their differences aside for long enough to share the stage at the Full Throttle.

"I think he and I can be friends," Hagar told broadcaster Eddie Trunk last year. "Honestly, I would love to be friends with Dave. He is the wackiest guy. He would be a blast – in my opinion, he would be a blast to hang with. Get on a boat and go cruising around in the islands or something with that guy and some of our friends and stuff.”

"There’s so much that we have in common. And we’re totally two different kinds of people, but that’s what makes it fun. The people around us would be having more fun.”
