Hagar’s First UK Tour in Three Decades
Good things come to those who wait—especially for fans of Sammy Hagar in the United Kingdom. It’s been 30 years since Hagar last performed Van Halen’s greatest hits on UK soil, but that wait is finally over. The rock icon has announced a four-date run across the UK for the summer of 2026, marking his first full tour there since 1996.
The shows will feature Hagar’s all-star lineup, The Best of All Worlds Band, and promise a high-energy celebration of his five-decade career. Fans can expect a setlist spanning every era—from his early days with Montrose and his solo anthems like “I Can’t Drive 55”, to hits from Chickenfoot and, of course, Van Halen.
The Best of All Worlds Lineup and Setlist
Joining Hagar onstage are legendary guitarist Joe Satriani, Rock & Roll Hall of Famer and longtime Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony, and acclaimed drummer Kenny Aronoff. Together, they’ll deliver an extensive catalog of songs that highlight Hagar’s evolution through the decades.
A major highlight of the tour will be the inclusion of Van Halen classics such as “Why Can’t This Be Love,” “Poundcake,” and “Finish What Ya Started.” This marks the first time Hagar has performed these songs in the UK since his sold-out Wembley Stadium shows nearly three decades ago.

Joan Jett Joins as Special Guest
The excitement doesn’t stop there. Hagar and his supergroup will be joined by Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, marking Jett’s first UK live appearances in 15 years. Known as the “Godmother of Punk,” Jett will bring her signature hits like “I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll” and “Bad Reputation” to the stage. Rising rockers JAYLER will open the shows, adding fresh energy to an already stacked lineup.
Acknowledging the long wait, Hagar said, “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!”
