ROGERS, Ark. — Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Sammy Hagar has announced the long-awaited The Best of All Worlds Tour, which includes a stop at the Walmart AMP on Sunday, Aug. 25, 2024. Gates open at 5:30 p.m. and the music starts at 7 p.m.
Presales start on Wednesday, Nov. 15., with tickets going on sale to the public at 10 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 17. Standard ticket prices start from $49.50 - $499.50.
Hagar will be joined by rock heavyweights and longtime bandmates Michael Anthony (bass, backing vocals), and Jason Bonham (drums).
On The Howard Stern Show, it was revealed that a surprise fourth bandmate, Joe Satriani, "one of the best guitar players in the world," has been added to the band.
The tour includes special guests Loverboy.
Collectively, Anthony, Satriani and Bonham have played together in nearly every phase of Hagar’s career including Van Halen, Chickenfoot, and The Circle, so fans can expect a setlist that draws from some of the biggest rock anthems of the last four decades, including, “Finish What Ya Started,” “5150,” “Your Love is Driving Me Crazy,” “Best of Both Worlds,” “Poundcake,” “Sexy Little Thing,” “One Way To Rock, Right Now,” “Good Enough,” “Eagles Fly” and more. They’ve also enlisted Australian musician, Rai Thistlethwayte on keyboard and backing vocals.
“It’s crazy to think that it’ll be 20 years since Mikey and I played these songs with Van Halen on the 04’ Best of Both Worlds Tour,” said Hagar. “With Joe on board, we can take a deeper dive into those years. We’re going to touch on some hits from my entire career, but seeing fans old and new embrace the new collection sets off something in Mikey and me. We were at my birthday bash in Cabo for my 76th and looked at each other and high-fived, like ‘Let’s do it.’ We pulled out a couple of them and it was an instant lovefest with the fans from our first riffs. The music we created is going to outlive us all. They deserve to be heard so it's time we go out and serve the fans that music, while we still can."
