Hagar’s post also featured a video from the festival. His enthusiastic caption about the experience accompanied it.
“Just another day in the life, I’m pinching myself! PS Greenday were phenomenal,” Hagar wrote.
The tour speculation began when fans started commenting on the post. One fan wrote about meeting Hagar previously and expressed hopes for future collaborations.
When a fan commented “Sammy met you last year at Sting 3.0 at Ohana, you are so kind, can’t wait to see again soon, best wishes, I agree, an Eddie V and Sammy H set would be epic, go get em guys,” Hagar responded with a simple but telling phrase.
“Maybe next year,” Hagar replied.
Another fan suggested Hagar should have been the headliner at the Ohana festival. The rocker gave the same intriguing response.
“Maybe next year,” he said again.
The repeated use of this phrase has led fans to speculate about possible 2026 tour dates or festival appearances.
Hagar’s cryptic responses come at a time when the rock veteran is making concrete plans for 2026. The timing of his social media hints aligns with his broader performance strategy for the upcoming year.
He has announced a 2026 Las Vegas residency with his “Best of All Worlds” all-star band. The shows are scheduled for March and September at Dolby Live at Park MGM. This lineup reunites Hagar with fellow Rock & Roll Hall of Famer and original Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony, guitar virtuoso Joe Satriani, drummer Kenny Aronoff, and multi-instrumentalist Rai Thistlethwayte.
