Sammy Hagar, known for his dynamic tenure with Van Halen, announced his 2024 tour, “Best of All Worlds.” This tour promises to be a retrospective journey, highlighting Hagar’s illustrious career, including classics from across the entire Van Halen catalog.

Sammy Hagar’s announcement of the “Best of All Worlds” tour, made on The Howard Stern Show, comes as big news for a long-neglected Van Halen fanbase.

“Nobody else is going to do it,” Hagar told Stern. He made an open ask for Alex Van Halen and David Lee Roth to join the tour, but that relationship has been tumultuous for years. Hagar noted he’s been calling, texting, and emailing Alex for years with no response.

Slated to begin in early 2024, the tour is expected to feature a diverse setlist, encompassing Hagar’s solo hits as well as the classics from his Van Halen days. The tour name, inspired by “Van Hagar” classic Best of Both Worlds, sets the stage for a series of high-octane performances.

Van Halen’s Later History with Sammy Hagar

Hagar’s history with Van Halen is a significant chapter in rock music. Joining the band in 1985 after the departure of David Lee Roth, Hagar brought a new dimension to Van Halen’s sound. This era, often referred to as “Van Hagar,” saw the band steering towards a more melodic, lyrically introspective style.

Albums like “5150” and “OU812” were monumental, showcasing the band’s versatility and Hagar’s powerful vocals. This period was marked by chart-topping hits and sold-out tours, but left many early Van Halen fans unhappy with the change for many years.
