Sammy Hagar is Going on Tour

It has been reported that Sammy Hagar & The Circle will be hitting the road this summer along with iconic rock band Whitesnake. Touring as the circle are bassist Michael Anthony, drummer Jason Bonham and guitarist Vic Johnson, alongside Hagar.

“I love some friendly competition on stage and that’s exactly what this is going to be,” said Hagar in a release. “David and I have nothing but the highest respect for one another, but we would also like to blow the other guy off the stage! Add in Night Ranger and the fans will have one hell of a night of music.”

Whitesnake will be made up of former Deep Purple singer and Rock & Roll Hall of Famer David Coverdale with guitarists Reb Beach and Joel Hoekstra, drummer Tommy Aldridge, bassist Michael Devin and keyboardist Michele Luppi. The 30-city trek will also feature special guest Night Ranger on all dates.

“Night Ranger is pumped to be on the tour with Sammy and Whitesnake. Night Ranger’s first tour was with Sammy, and the two Whitesnake guitarists Reb and Joel have both played in Night Ranger,” said Night Ranger in a release. “This gives the tour and ‘The Circle’ even more meaning to us! You can still rock in America for sure.”

Tickets go on sale to the general public beginning Friday at 10am local time.
