It’s a Redhead Party both weekends – from the desert to the sea!

It’s that time of year again…the Birthday Bash is back! Mark your calendars because Sammy’s annual party returns to Cabo on October 11th, and 13th! But wait, there's more! The bash just can't be contained and this year is also heading to LAS VEGAS! That's right, the party adds a new destination with two shows at Pearl Concert Theater at Palms Casino Resort on October 4 & 5!

The lineup for the four “Sammy Hagar & Friends” concerts already includes bassist Michael Anthony, guitar virtuoso Vic Johnson, and acclaimed drummer Kenny Aronoff. Each year, the birthday bashes are an open invitation to all of Sammy’s friends so there are always surprises to the lineup – announced and unannounced.

“Every year we try to do something a little different with the birthday bash shows to accommodate the tens of thousands of requests. So this year this should help a few thousand more people be a part of the birthday shows and the island at the Palms closing for the winter, it’s a double celebration in Las Vegas. I hope everyone is happy with this year’s concept. I can’t wait. What a way to close the year out and flip another number 77 wow 0077 sounds like a lucky one to me.” – Sammy

HERE'S HOW IT WILL WORK:

Valid photo ID of the purchaser will be required to be shown at the venue.  The ticket limit is 2 per night, per household (billing address) and each show's drawing will be performed independently.

Hagar will be joined by rock heavyweights and longtime bandmates MICHAEL ANTHONY (bass, backing vocals), JASON BONHAM (drums) and JOE SATRIANI, one of the best guitar players in the world, will complete the band.

The tour follows on the heels of the chart-topping success of THE COLLECTION II, the box set released October 6, 2023 featuring newly remastered versions of the four consecutive #1 albums released during the Hagar era of Van Halen: 5150 (1986), OU812 (1988), FOR UNLAWFUL CARNAL KNOWLEDGE (1991), and BALANCE (1995). A reminder to fans of the arsenal of hits, many which haven’t been played live since the band’s 2004 reunion tour. 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 which draws from some of the biggest rock anthems of the last 4-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.

The Japan tour will commence on September 20 in Nagoya and will conclude on September 23 in Tokyo. Don’t miss a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see this band of brothers deliver one of the most legendary hits-packed live shows of their career!

Tickets For “An Acoustic Evening With Sammy Hagar And Vic Johnson” On-sale
May 31 at 9:00 AM PDT here!

Sammy Hagar will officially open the doors to Stage RED Theater on Saturday, June 15, with “An Acoustic Evening With Sammy Hagar And Vic Johnson” special concert event. Stage RED Theater is the multi-million dollar transformation of the historic Center Stage Theater into an intimate, state-of-the-art live music and entertainment venue honoring Fontana's own Red Rocker.

Tickets will go on sale starting Friday, May 31, 2024, at 9:00 AM PDT. Tickets can be purchased at Ticketmaster.com. For more information, visit StageRedFontana.com.

"I fell in love with music while growing up in Fontana so being honored by my hometown with a venue named after me is one of the coolest and proudest moments of my life," said Sammy Hagar. “It’s going to be a hell of a celebration!”

Guitar virtuoso Vic Johnson auditioned for Sammy Hagar in 1997, was hired on the spot, and the rest, as they say, is history. The lead guitarist has been a staple on Sammy’s tours and albums since, with the duo even releasing the acclaimed album "Lite Roast" in 2014, featuring acoustic and unplugged renditions of some of their favorite rock tunes. Later that year Sammy enlisted him for his new supergroup, The Circle, along with Jason Bonham on drums and Michael Anthony on bass. Sammy Hagar & The Circle’s 2019 debut album “Space Between,” was lauded by critics and scored a multi-category No. 1 album on the Billboard charts. Their second album, “Crazy Times,” dropped in September 2022, and debuted at No. 6 on Billboard’s Top Album chart. On tour, the band quickly established themselves as one of the most emphatic and exciting live acts on the road, seamlessly ripping through Hagar’s career-spanning hits and their new original material.

Stage RED Theater is located in downtown Fontana at 8463 Sierra Avenue. Previously known as Center Stage Theater, Fontana’s City Hall announced the closure of the historic single-screen theater in 2022, promising a modernized venue that would also carry the influence of one of the city’s most famous sons, Sammy Hagar. The City enlisted Ideation Design Group, a longtime venue design partner of Hagar’s to spearhead the venue’s extensive remodel and design. Their two-year, multi-million dollar relaunch is set to deliver an unparalleled live music experience which aims to be a cornerstone of the city's cultural renaissance.

Set to kick off with a highly anticipated performance by Sammy Hagar, Stage RED Theater will offer guests not only top-notch performances but also a taste of Hagar’s award-winning portfolio of spirits including Sammy’s Beach Bar Rum, a partnership with Rick Springfield, Santo Spirits, a tequila collaboration with Guy Fieri, Sammy’s Beach Bar Cocktail Co. and Red Rocker Brewing Co.

Triple-Platinum #1 Album Remastered And Reissued With Previously Unreleased Audio And Video From 1991 Concert In Dallas 2LP/2CD/Blu-ray Collection Available July 12

PRE-ORDER NOW HERE

Previously Unreleased Live Version Of “POUNDCAKE” Available Digitally Today LISTEN HERE

Van Halen’s ninth studio album, For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge, debuted at #1 and stayed there for three weeks during the summer of 1991. It was the third consecutive #1 album from singer Sammy Hagar, guitarist Eddie Van Halen, drummer Alex Van Halen, and bassist Michael Anthony. An Expanded Edition of the album is arriving this summer from Rhino, including a newly remastered version of the original, along with previously unreleased audio and video footage from Van Halen’s December 4, 1991, concert in Dallas, Texas.

FOR UNLAWFUL CARNAL KNOWLEDGE (EXPANDED EDITION) will be available on July 12 and includes two LPs, two CDs, and a Blu-ray. PRE-ORDER HERE.

Rhino.com will have an exclusive bundle featuring the release and a set of four 7” singles, including “Poundcake” / “Pleasure Dome,” “Top Of The World” / “In ‘N’ Out,” “Right Now” (Organ Version) / “Man On A Mission,” and “Right Now” (Guitar Version) / “The Dream Is Over” (Instrumental Version).

Originally released in June 1991, For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge was an immediate success. It reached triple platinum certification and earned Van Halen its first Grammy® Award for Best Hard Rock Performance and American Music Award® for Favorite Heavy Metal/Hard Rock Album. Producer and engineer Bernie Grundman expertly remastered and cut lacquers for this edition, ensuring pristine sound quality.

The Expanded Edition includes previously unreleased alternate versions of “Right Now” and “The Dream Is Over.” The main attraction, however, has to be the previously unreleased concert footage from Van Halen’s December 4, 1991, performance in Dallas. Captured during the “For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge Tour,” this electrifying show is a powerful example of Van Halen’s unparalleled stage presence.

The show’s setlist mixes new songs (“Judgement Day” and “Poundcake”) with songs from 5150 and OU812 (“Best Of Both Worlds” and “Finish What Ya Started”). The band also played “Panama,” a hit from its time with singer David Lee Roth, plus two of Hagar’s hits, “I Can’t Drive 55” and “There’s Only One Way To Rock.”

In addition, the Blu-ray includes the official music videos for “Poundcake,” “Runaround,” “Top Of The World,” and “Right Now” which swept the 1992 MTV Video Music Awards, winning three awards including Video Of The Year. Finally, the remastered album is included in the set as a double LP, featuring an etching of the Van Halen logo on the fourth side.

Yesterday, April 30, 2024 will be one of the highlights of my musical life if not THE! Being honored like that in front of my family and more friends than I thought I had, touched my heart so there is no word that can come close to saying what I felt and am still feeling. The amount of Redheads that showed up was mind blowing to the committee as well who said it was one of the best turnouts ever #RedheadsRule #Thankyou #ForeverGrateful #Family #Friends
