David Lee Roth announces North American summer 2025 tour
David Lee Roth has announced a North American tour set to take place over the coming summer months, marking his first live performances in five years.
The former Van Halen singer will begin touring on July 31st in Hollywood, Florida, continue throughout August, and conclude his string of dates in Napa, California, on September 14th.
The famed showman had previously announced a single gig on September 12th in Saratoga, California, but is now keen to take things up a notch.
It comes off the back of Roth’s return to the stage on May 3rd at M3 Festival in Maryland, where he performed for the first time in five years, singing 16 of Van Halen’s classic tunes.
He was joined on stage by guitarist Al Estrada, bassist Ryan Wheeler, drummer Francis Valentino and a keyboard player, as well as a four-piece backing band, marking his first live show since last opening for Kiss in March 2020.
Roth announced his retirement from performing and touring in 2021, shortly before he was set to commence a residency in Las Vegas in 2022, which was subsequently cancelled due to unspecified health issues. The singer joked during his performance at M3 Festival over the weekend: “We’ve reached the end of my first retirement. How many retirements did Rocky have, nine?”
Tickets for his 12 newly announced shows will be available for pre-sale at 10am ET on May 6th, before going on general sale on May 9th at 10am ET via Ticketmaster.
