David Lee Roth recently announced a major 30-date solo tour across North America, as revealed on his Instagram.
The announcement included details about ticket sales and the tour’s extensive scope across multiple states and provinces.
“Presale begins tomorrow JAN 6th at 10AM local. Public On-Sale: Friday, JAN 9th at 10 AM local,” David Lee Roth wrote in the announcement.
The tour will launch on April 16th in Airway Heights, Washington. Roth is scheduled to visit California, Arizona and Texas later in the month. In May, the tour will continue through Tennessee, Florida, North Carolina and Ontario, among other locations.
Fan reactions to the announcement have been mixed. Some expressed excitement while others questioned the tour given Roth’s previous retirement statement in 2021.
One fan commented, “Can’t wait. Seen the show last year in New Hampshire, it was electrifying.”
Another fan said, “I’m sorry, didn’t he issue a huge retirement statement in 2021. I really wish he would hold true to it.”
The tour is set to feature classic Van Halen material that has defined Roth’s career. Fans can expect to hear Van Halen hits such as “Panama,” “Jump,” “Jamie’s Cryin’” and many more during the performances.
