David Lee Roth has hijacked the Van Halen tribute—the one and only Diamond Dave—is back, and he’s making sure everyone knows it! While fans have been waiting for a full-fledged Van Halen tribute tour, Roth has decided to go it alone, announcing his own Van Halen set at the M3 Rock Festival. Roth recently took to Instagram with his usual flair, announcing his upcoming performance at M3 Rock Festival.

“It’s gonna be party energy It couldn’t happen but it did,” the singer announced his upcoming appearance at the M3 Rock Festival in an Instagram video. “Me, David Lee Roth, will trouble guitars.”

He added, “Diamond Dave, the boss in the big town bringing the big sound in the big town the way it sounds on the record. Every classic Van Halen tune is putting the boom in the room. Anything missing now is you.”Roth’s journey with Van Halen has been nothing short of legendary. After the massive success of their 1984 album, Roth shocked fans by leaving the band to pursue a solo career. The split led to years of tension, but Dave made a triumphant return in 1996 for a brief reunion and then again in 2007, officially rejoining Van Halen as their frontman.

For years, fans have been hoping for a proper tribute to the late, great Eddie Van Halen. At one point, there were even discussions between David Lee Roth and Alex Van Halen about making it happen. But due to their tumultuous relationship, those plans never fully materialized.

After Roth refused to do a tribute to Eddie Van Halen during his set, Sammy Hagar criticized the rocker in a Rolling Stone interview last year, calling it ‘pure ego.’ And now, instead of joining forces with Hagar or Alex Van Halen, Roth is doing this show on his own.

Meanwhile, Michael Anthony, teaming up with his former Van Halen bandmate Sammy Hagar, rocked stages across the country on The Best of All Worlds tour. This tour celebrated the Sammy Hagar era of Van Halen, bringing fans back to the glory days of hits like ‘Why Can’t This Be Love’ and ‘Dreams.’
