Tickets for DAVID LEE ROTH's 30-date North American comeback tour go on general sale this Friday, January 9, at 10AM local time. The former VAN HALEN frontman stunned the rock world when he announced the massive trek on January 5, effectively ending his touring retirement that he had declared in late 2021. At 71 years old, Diamond Dave remains one of rock's most charismatic and unpredictable showmen.
The run kicks off April 16 in Airway Heights, Washington, and concludes August 7 in Sturgis, South Dakota, at the legendary motorcycle rally. The setlist is expected to consist entirely of VAN HALEN classics from the David Lee Roth era — the golden period that produced anthems like "Jump," "Panama," "Runnin' With The Devil," "Hot For Teacher" and "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love." Roth had previously tested the waters with a 21-date summer 2025 tour, marking his first time on stage in five years, and the overwhelmingly positive response clearly convinced him to mount a larger-scale operation.
Pre-sale codes have been circulating since Tuesday, with strong demand reported from fans eager to see the flamboyant showman back in action. Roth's stage presence — equal parts martial-arts kicks, acrobatic splits and trash-talking charm — defined the VAN HALEN live experience throughout the late 1970s and 1980s. With Eddie Van Halen's passing in October 2020, Roth's performances carry additional emotional weight as a celebration of the legendary partnership that shaped hard rock forever.
The routing hits major markets across the United States, including stops in Tucson, Memphis, Orlando, Nashville, Boston and Milwaukee, where the tour wraps at Summerfest. VIP packages with meet-and-greet opportunities are expected to be announced separately.
