Sammy Hagar has never been one to slow down, and 2026 is shaping up to prove that once again. The Red Rocker has officially expanded his touring plans, adding a new run of dates next year, with a special guest set to join him on the road.
At 78, Hagar continues to defy expectations, bringing the same fire, humor, and vocal power that helped define arena rock in the 1980s. Best known for his chart-topping solo career and his era fronting Van Halen, Hagar remains one of rock’s most enduring live performers, and fans clearly aren’t ready for him to hang it up just yet.
Still Red, Still Rocking
Hagar’s recent shows have blended the best of his career-spanning catalog — from solo anthems like “I Can’t Drive 55” and “There’s Only One Way to Rock,” to Van Halen-era staples that helped propel the band to massive commercial heights. His current live band has earned praise for tight musicianship and a sense of joy that mirrors Hagar’s own onstage persona.
Announcing the added 2026 dates, Hagar emphasized that touring remains about connection rather than nostalgia alone. For him, the stage is still a place of celebration, of music, friendship, and the fans who have followed his journey for decades.
A Special Guest To Raise The Heat
The newly added dates will feature a special guest, adding even more excitement to the tour. While Hagar has shared stages with countless rock icons over the years, he has hinted that this guest is someone he deeply respects, an artist who fits the spirit of the music and the party atmosphere his shows are known for.
The inclusion of a special guest suggests the tour will feel less like a farewell and more like a communal rock event, something Hagar has leaned into in recent years with collaborative performances and surprise appearances.
No Signs Of Slowing Down
Rather than framing the tour as a victory lap, Hagar continues to approach live shows with the energy of a musician who still loves the craft. He’s been open about staying active, creative, and engaged, whether that’s writing music, performing live, or simply enjoying the camaraderie of the road.
For fans, the added 2026 dates are another reminder that Sammy Hagar isn’t done telling his story just yet. As long as there’s a stage, a crowd, and a loud guitar, the Red Rocker seems more than happy to keep the party going.
More details on specific dates, venues, and the special guest are expected to follow, but one thing is already clear: 2026 will once again be very loud, very red, and very rock and roll.
