Sammy returns to the U.K. for his first tour since 1996, with a setlist celebrating his legendary 50-plus-year catalog of hits, including the deepest dive yet into his tenure with VAN HALEN. The July 2026 tour will hit Manchester, Birmingham and Leeds, ending with a grand finale at London's O2 Arena.

Hagar says: "I can't wait to cross the Atlantic with the BEST OF ALL WORLDS BAND. Fans in the U.K. and Europe have waited a long time — and so have I!"

The July 2026 tour will see Sammy Hagar and his BEST OF ALL WORLDS BAND playing a packed setlist of career-spanning hits, from seminal breakouts with MONTROSE, his iconic solo hits, and a deep dive into his tenure with VAN HALEN, CHICKENFOOT and everything in between, including the likes of "Finish What Ya Started", "5150", "Your Love Is Driving Me Crazy", "Best Of Both Worlds", "Poundcake", "Why Can't This Be Love", "I Can't Drive 55" and so many more. The supergroup will take to the stage at four huge arenas in the U.K.: Manchester AO Arena (July 4),Birmingham BP Pulse Live (July 5),Leeds First Direct Bank Arena (July 7),and finally the O2 Arena in London (July 9). This will be the first time Sammy Hagar has performed VAN HALEN classics in the U.K. since the band's iconic Wembley Stadium shows 30 years ago.

Joining them on the tour will be the iconic JOAN JETT & THE BLACKHEARTS, with Joan's first U.K. live shows in 15 years. Joan Jett is known as the godmother of punk, starting her music career in 1975 with THE RUNAWAYS. She went on to form JOAN JETT & THE BLACKHEARTS in 1980 and release some huge hits, and fans can expect to see them play the likes of "I Love Rock N' Roll", "Bad Reputation" and "Cherry Bomb" (taken from Joan Jett's career with THE RUNAWAYS).
