It’s been 30 years since Sammy Hagar last came to the United Kingdom to perform some of Van Halen’s greatest hits, and the long wait for fans yearning for his return will be enthralled to know that the singer is set for four shows alongside his supergroup throughout the summer months of 2026.
The announcement marks Hagar’s first full tour of the UK since 1996, and he is set to deliver an explosive, career-spanning setlist that includes his deepest dive yet into the music of Van Halen, accompanied by the incredible talents of his supergroup, The Best of All Worlds Band.
Those bandmembers include legendary guitarist Joe Satriani, fellow Rock & Roll Hall of Famer and long-time Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony and powerhouse drummer Kenny Aronoff.

The four-date trek promises a huge celebration of Hagar’s 50+ year career, covering his seminal breakouts with Montrose, iconic solo hits like ‘I Can’t Drive 55’, and classics from Chickenfoot.
Crucially, Hagar and Michael Anthony will perform beloved Van Halen anthems, including ‘Why Can’t This Be Love’, ‘Poundcake’, and ‘Finish What Ya Started’—a huge moment for fans, as Hagar hasn't performed the band's classics in the UK since the legendary Wembley Stadium shows three decades ago.
But if that wasn’t enough, they will be joined by special guest and Godmother of punk, Joan Jett & The Blackhearts. These shows will be Jett's first UK live performances in 15 years, with fans guaranteed to hear anthems like ‘I Love Rock N’ Roll’ and ‘Bad Reputation’, alongside opening act JAYLER.
Acknowledging the lengthy wait for his return, Hagar commented, “I can’t wait to cross the Atlantic with the Best of All Worlds Band. Fans in the UK and Europe have waited a long time—and so have I!”
