2025 will be busy for rock star Sammy Hagar
The Scottsdale concert is just one of many items in Hagar’s busy schedule next year.
Last week, the famous rock star announced he’ll launch a second version of last year’s “The Best of All Worlds Tour.”
Next year’s tour will be a new residency show exclusively playing in Las Vegas at Park MGM from April 30 to May 17. He’ll be joined by fellow rock stars Michael Anthony, Joe Satriani and Kenny Aronoff.
“I’m so looking forward to this residency and being able to stay in one place so we can get the sound and production completely dialed in,” Hagar said in a news release. “It also allows the band to experiment with the setlist every night – that’s why it’s going to be exclusive to Las Vegas.”
