David Lee Roth has announced a run of US dates for this summer. Diamond Dave, who returned to the stage with a set of Van Halen songs at M3 Rock Festival in Columbia, Maryland, on Saturday, will play 13 shows in July and August.
The tour will kick off at Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, FL on July 31, and wrap up at the Blue Note Summer Sessions in Napa, CA, on September 14. The schedule includes a previously announced date at the Mountain Winery in Saratoga, CA, on September 12.
Roth hasn't toured since completing a run of pre-lockdown shows on Kiss's End Of The Road Tour in early 2020, although a final residency in Las Vegas was scheduled for 2022.
"I am throwing in the shoes. I’m retiring," Roth told the Las Vegas Review-Journal. "This is the first, and only, official announcement. You’ve got the news. Share it with the world. I’m not going to explain the statement. The explanation is in the statement. These are my last five shows."
In the end, the dates were pulled "due to unforeseen circumstances related to COVID and out of an abundance of caution for those working and attending the shows."
Tickets for the new shows will go on general sale on May 9 at 10am ET.
