SAMMY HAGAR's 77th Birthday Bash Expands To Cabo And Las Vegas In 2024

Sammy Hagar's 34th annual Birthday Bash is expanding to Las Vegas in 2024. The famous Cabo celebration adds a new destination at the Pearl Concert Theater at Palms Casino Resort on October 4 and October 5, before heading to Cabo on October 11 and October 13 to ring in Sammy's 77th birthday. 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.

Hagar commented: "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."
