Rock legend Sammy Hagar has announced exciting changes to his upcoming 2026 UK tour. His popular Best Of All Worlds tour will now visit smaller, more technologically advanced venues, aiming to give fans an incredible live music experience.
This decision comes after the huge success of Hagar's recent shows in Las Vegas, where advanced sound and immersive technology allowed for a deeper connection with the audience. Inspired by this, the July 2026 UK dates have been rearranged to feature similar cutting-edge venues. The updated schedule also includes a special multi-night stay in London at the brand-new British Airways ARC, where Hagar's band will be among the first to perform.
The Best Of All Worlds band is a supergroup featuring Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame members Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony, along with Grammy-nominated guitar wizard Joe Satriani and powerful drummer Kenny Aronoff. They are set to play at Wolverhampton's Civic Hall on July 6, Manchester's O2 Apollo on July 7, and the British Airways ARC in London from July 9-12. Tickets for these shows go on sale Friday, April 24, at 10 a.m.
Hagar shared his excitement: "After waiting 30 years to come back, we wanted to get this right. Our Las Vegas residency showed us how much more we can connect with fans in an intimate setting with great technology. When I heard about a similar venue opening in London, it was perfect. Three nights, a fresh set each time, and I get to stay in one of my favorite cities - that's truly the Best of All Worlds!"
This marks Hagar's first UK tour since 1996. The setlist will cover his amazing 50-year career, including a special focus on his time with Van Halen. Fans can expect to hear hits like Why Can't This Be Love, 5150, Best Of Both Worlds, and I Can't Drive 55. This will be the first time Sammy Hagar performs Van Halen classics in the UK since the band's famous Wembley Stadium shows three decades ago.
Fans who previously bought tickets for the original dates will be contacted directly and offered early access to new tickets, plus a 10% discount on merchandise at the shows. The band appreciates everyone's support and looks forward to delivering this enhanced concert experience across the UK.
