Sammy Hagar Returns to the UK for First Tour Since 1996 With Three-Night London Run at New British Airways ARC

Sammy Hagar is heading back to the UK for the first time in 30 years, and he’s doing it properly. The Best of All Worlds Tour has announced updated UK dates built around a three-night London residency at the soon-to-open British Airways ARC, a new tech-forward venue that drew Hagar in for the same reasons his Las Vegas residency at Dolby Live worked so well. The decision to revise the original UK routing came directly from that Vegas experience, where the combination of sound, technology, and intimate scale created exactly the kind of connection Hagar wanted to replicate for UK audiences.

“After waiting 30 years to come back, we really wanted to get this right,” Hagar says. “When I heard our promoter was opening a similar tech-forward venue in London, that really sealed the deal for me. Three nights, a fresh set every night, and I get to stay in London, one of my favorite cities in the world, for a week. That’s the Best of All Worlds.” The promise of a different setlist each night at the ARC is a genuine commitment to fans who make the trip more than once, and given the depth of catalog Hagar is working from, spanning his solo career, his tenure with Van Halen, and Chickenfoot, there’s more than enough material to make that happen.

Special guests Jayler join the UK run throughout. Fans who purchased tickets for the original UK dates will be contacted directly with priority presale access for the new shows and a ten percent merchandise offer on show nights. New tickets go on sale Friday, April 24 at 10 AM local time.

The tour draws heavily from last fall’s ‘Sammy Hagar & The Best of All Worlds Band: The Residency’ album, a 19-track live record captured during the Dolby Live residency at Park MGM in 2025 that documents the full energy and hit-packed setlist in real time. The group also returns to Vegas in 2026 for 11 additional performances.

On the North American side, the tour runs June 13 through June 27, launching in St. Louis and wrapping at MGM National Harbor in Oxon Hill, Maryland, with Rick Springfield along as special guest throughout that run. Produced by Live Nation, it’s a full-scale operation on both sides of the Atlantic for an artist whose catalog holds up across every era.
