Tea or tequila?
Whitesnake will embark on another extensive tour of the US, this time on a double bill with Sammy Hagar. Night Ranger will be opening on all dates. The itinerary is strategically arranged in 3 legs of 10 shows each — one per July, August, and September 2020 respectively. All venues will be big corporate sheds owned by the Live Nation/Ticketmaster behemoth and bearing such poetic names as iTHINK Financial Amphitheatre and Jiffy Lube Live.
Sammy Hagar’s band will include fellow Van Halen alumni Michael Anthony on bass, Jason Bonham on drums, and Vic Johnson on gutar. Whitesnake lineup has not changed: Reb Beach and Joel Hoekstra on guitars, Tommy Aldridge on drums, Michael Devin on bass, and Michele Luppi on keyboards.
Tickets go on sale to the general public beginning this Friday, January 31st at 10 AM, local time. Presales start Wednesday, January 29th at 10am, presale password is fleshandblood.
Full details in our calendar.
Jiffy Lube sounds like a venue old DC would love to play… But wait, does Sammy say in the video that he will play last?

January 28th, 2020 at 13:28Just got the tickets for Melbourne Feb. 19. (with Scorpions)!
January 30th, 2020 at 19:55Being down under (visiting from Germany) I had to go there.
First performance for DC since October 2019, I think – I wonder how he’ll sound “fresh” …
Never understood why vocalist who were discovered by Ritchie Blackmore like Dio or Coverdale have become more famous in terms of being “mainstream” rahter than Blackmore himself. I know he’s shy and everything but the guy wrote more gret music that these guys and their side projects all toghether
February 3rd, 2020 at 13:10@4 robert you are so right!! The other day I heard Man On The Silver Mountain on the radio and the DJ said “that’s Ronnie James Dio and Rainbow”….now granted RJD is awesome but not a hint of Blackmore! It’s really his own fault that he is no longer relevant in the US……………………
February 5th, 2020 at 10:26btw….definitly going to see Whitesnake open for Sammy in August…Hagar will always close any show in the Midwest but it doesn’t really matter to me! It will be a fun night
