On Saturday, June 13, 2026, rock icon Sammy Hagar launched his highly anticipated Best of All Worlds Tour 2026 at the Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre in front of a packed, enthusiastic St. Louis crowd. The Red Rocker, performing with his stellar Best of All Worlds Band, brought an evening of pure rock ‘n’ roll celebration, perfectly complemented by special guest Rick Springfield.
Rick Springfield opened the show with a dynamic, hit-filled set that showcased his enduring charisma and guitar prowess. Delivering classics like “I’ve Done Everything for You” (a song famously written by Hagar), “Affair of the Heart,” “Don’t Talk to Strangers,” “Love Somebody,” and the perennial crowd-pleaser “Jessie’s Girl,” Springfield had the audience singing along from the first notes. At an age when many artists slow down, Springfield’s energetic performance and sharp stage presence proved why he’s remained a rock favorite for decades. His set served as an ideal warm-up, blending power-pop hooks with genuine rock edge.
Sammy Hagar then took the stage with The Best of All Worlds Band — featuring the powerhouse lineup of Michael Anthony on bass, Joe Satriani on guitar, and Kenny Aronoff on drums — and immediately elevated the energy to another level. Starting strong with Van Halen favorites and solo hits, the band delivered a polished yet raw 19-song set that spanned Hagar’s illustrious career. Standouts included “Why Can’t This Be Love,” “Top of the World,” “Runaround,” “Best of Both Worlds,” “Summer Nights,” “There’s Only One Way to Rock,” “5150,” and “Love Walks In,” among many others. Hagar’s unmistakable voice sounded as powerful as ever, and his banter with the crowd highlighted his deep affection for St. Louis, a city he has long called his musical home away from home.
The chemistry between Hagar and his bandmates was electric, with Satriani’s masterful guitar work, Anthony’s rock-solid bass lines, and Aronoff’s explosive drumming creating a wall of sound that filled the amphitheatre. The setlist smartly mixed Van Halen-era anthems with Hagar’s solo gems, resulting in a non-stop celebration of rock legacy that felt fresh and exhilarating. The encore capped off a truly memorable night, leaving fans on a high with smiles and sing-along memories.
This opening night performance set a high bar for the tour, proving that these rock veterans are not just resting on their catalogs but actively delivering vibrant, high-octane shows that connect across generations. For fans of classic rock done right, this is an unmissable experience.
