Sammy Hagar and his band The Circle (guitarist Vic Johnson, bassist Michael Anthony and drummer Jason Bonham) have announced a joint tour with Whitesnake for the summer of 2020. Night Ranger will open for both bands on the tour.
“I love some friendly competition on stage and that’s exactly what this is going to be,” Hagar said in a statement. “David [Coverdale] and I have nothing but the highest respect for one another, but we would also like to blow the other guy off the stage! Add in Night Ranger and the fans will have one hell of a night of music.”
The 30-city U.S. trek will kick off July 9th in West Palm Beach, Florida, at the iTHINK Financial Amphitheatre, and will run through September 20th with a final show at the North Island Credit Union Amphitheatre in Chula Vista, California. The tour will take the two rock bands through Phoenix, Dallas, Salt Lake City, Tampa, Cincinnati and more.
Tickets go on sale to the general public beginning this Friday, January 31st at 10:00 a.m. local time at LiveNation.com.
Last October, Sammy Hagar and The Circle released a short film, Space Between, directed by ZZ Satriani (the son of Hagar and Anthony’s Chickenfoot bandmate Joe Satriani). The band released their debut LP of the same name last year.
