Legendary rock frontman David Lee Roth, the unmistakable voice and larger-than-life personality behind Van Halen, is officially heading back on the road in 2026. Now 71, Roth has announced a 30-date North American solo tour, marking his most substantial live run in years and reaffirming his status as one of hard rock’s most magnetic performers.
Spanning spring and summer, the tour gives fans a rare opportunity to see Roth in full showman mode once again — delivering a setlist rooted in classic Van Halen staples, theatrical flair, and the unmistakable swagger that helped define arena rock.
Roth’s renewed presence onstage began in 2025, when he delivered his first full solo concert in more than five years at Maryland’s M3 Rock Festival. The performance was widely viewed as a turning point, showcasing a confident, energized Roth tearing through crowd favorites like Panama, Hot for Teacher, and Jump.
That appearance effectively silenced lingering retirement rumors. While Roth had previously hinted that his touring days might be over, the M3 show — followed by additional live appearances — made it clear that he wasn’t finished engaging audiences. The momentum from those performances ultimately paved the way for a full-fledged 2026 tour announcement.
2026 Tour Details:
A Night With David Lee Roth
Billed as “A Night With David Lee Roth,” the 2026 run is positioned as a celebratory solo outing rather than a farewell. Fans can expect a performance anchored in classic hard-rock hits, sharp humor, and the animated stage presence that made Roth one of rock’s most compelling frontmen.
Tickets for the tour went on sale in early January 2026, with presales and general on-sale dates rolling out across major ticketing platforms.
