Sammy Hagar & the Circle — the singer’s supergroup with former Van Halen bassist/bandmate Michael Anthony, drummer Jason Bonham and longtime Hagar guitarist Vic Johnson — announced a North American tour behind their upcoming debut studio LP, Space Between. The trek, which features Vince Neil and Night Ranger on select dates, launches April 19th in Reno, Nevada and wraps June 7th in Tinley Park, Illinois.
Ticket pre-sales begin Wednesday, February 6th at 10 a.m. local time. General tickets are available Friday, February 8th at 10 a.m. local time via the band’s website. Every purchase — except for the Lewiston, New York date — includes one CD copy of Space Between, which comes out May 10th.
The band also detailed the track list for Space Between, their first collection of new material. The album follows their 2015 live LP, At Your Service, which featured covers of songs from the musicians’ respective former bands — including Van Halen, Led Zeppelin and Montrose, among others.
In a statement, Hagar hyped the project as more elaborate than “just a bunch of new songs grouped together on an album.” He added, “[The tracks] were sewn together conceptually for a complete mental, emotional and physical experience (kind of a Three Lock Box). Once I had the overall vision, the lyrics and music began to just flow through me.”
Hagar spoke to Rolling Stone about the Circle in 2014, saying the band name represents coming “full circle in [his] career.” “I can play from every era, from Montrose to Van Halen to solo, Chickenfoot and some Led Zeppelin,” he said. “In Chickenfoot, we didn’t play songs by the Chili Peppers or Van Halen, but the Circle plays my whole world and everyone else’s world that’s in the band. It’s been really special so far.”
