Sammy Hagar has announced the dates for his annual birthday bash, and this year he’s adding a second location for the annual festivities.
Hagar, who turns 77 on Oct. 13, already has his annual date set at Cabo Wabo Cantina in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico; however this year the rocker has added an additional date at the Pearl Theater at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas. The Vegas bash will take place on Oct. 4 -5, with the Cabo dates taking place on Oct. 11 and 13.
Hagar shares: “Every year we try to do something a little different with the birthday bash shows to accommodate the tens of thousands of requests. So this year this should help a few thousand more people be a part of the birthday shows and the island at the Palms closing for the winter, it’s a double celebration in Las Vegas. I hope everyone is happy with this year’s concept. I can’t wait. What a way to close the year out and flip another number 77 wow 0077 sounds like a lucky one to me.”
The legendary rocker also said in a video announcement: “I’m f**king excited! Here’s what we do: It’s gonna be two nights in Vegas for 5,000 people. We have the 4th and the 5th in Vegas at the Palms. We’re playing the Pearl, and we’ve got lots of surprises for you. Oh yeah, same thing, surprise jams. Nothing’s gonna change. Then we’re gonna take the party straight to Cabo for the 11th and the 13th.” Hagar shared of the two birthday bash locations: “That means 5,000 more people get to come to the birthday bash. We usually shut out 50, 60, 70,000 people that try to get in — and we’re closing the island down for the winter. So we’re gonna have a double party. We’ll party at the island all day, jam at the Pearl all night. Me and a bunch of friends, and you know what’s gonna happen. That’s Oct. 4 and 5 in Vegas at the Pearl, Oct. 11 and 13 in Cabo — the two party capitals of the world. And we’re gonna rock the Cabo Wabo!”
You can also catch Hagar on the road for Sammy Hagar & Friends concerts, featuring bassist Michael Anthony, guitar virtuoso Vic Johnson, and acclaimed drummer Kenny Aronoff. In addition, the Van Halen-focused Best of All Worlds Tour featuring Sagar, Joe Satriani, Michael Anthony and Jason Bonham will travel across North America throughout July and August.
