LAS VEGAS (Sept. 15, 2025) – Leading into his return to Las Vegas to perform at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Festival on Friday, September 19th, Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Sammy Hagar today announced the return of his hit “The Best of All Worlds” residency to Dolby Live at Park MGM for 11 performances March 11–21 and September 18–26, 2026.

The high-octane “only in Las Vegas” show is celebration of Hagar’s legendary catalog, including the deepest dive yet into his tenure with Van Halen yet. The Las Vegas residency represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see this band of brothers deliver one of the most legendary hits-packed live shows of their careers.

“I can’t tell you how hard it’s been not to leak this announcement. I must say those last nine shows were some of the best shows I’ve done in my life. I love this band like no other and can’t wait to do it again. One listen to the live residency record coming out and you will understand this is my idea of retirement!!!! Beats golf any day😜” – Sammy

Adding to the excitement, Hagar will release Sammy Hagar & The Best of All Worlds Band – The Residency, a 19-track live album recorded during his first Dolby Live run, on October 10, 2025 via Big Machine Rock.

Custom-built for Dolby Live’s intimate and electric atmosphere, The Best of All Worlds delivers an unfiltered connection to the music that defined a generation. With fresh setlists each night, Hagar dusts off Van Halen deep cuts, solo anthems, and fan favorites not heard live in decades. The residency was a critical and box office hit, with fans and media alike calling it one of the strongest rock residencies in Las Vegas history.
