Former Van Halen bandmates Sammy Hagar [ tickets ] and Michael Anthony--along with Hagar's solo band, The Wabos--are gearing up for Saturday's (6/3) launch of the "Livin' It Up" tour.

Since first announcing the run earlier this spring, they've added stops in about a dozen cities, leaving few off days in the itinerary (shown below), which is packed through mid-August.

During the upcoming trek, Hagar and The Wabos will perform a set of material from Hagar's solo days, as well as numbers from his '70s-era days at the helm of Montrose. Following that, Hagar, Anthony, and Wabos David Lauser (drums) and Vic Johnson (guitar)--a quartet dubbed The Other Half--will hit the stage for a set comprised exclusively of Van Halen songs.

At each stop along the tour route, organizers will set up a "Cabo Wabo village" that will be "jammed with bikini girls, body builders, mariachi bands, food, drink, contests and probably some other cool stuff to boot," according to Anthony's website. Artist renderings of what the village will look like are posted at Hagar's website.

Anthony has toured with Hagar frequently in recent years. The two last toured with Van Halen during the group's 2004 outing, which was its first with Hagar at the helm since the mid-'90s. Both have since said that guitarist Eddie Van Halen's drinking and volatile behavior derailed any potential plans that the group might have tackled following that US trek.

Hagar and The Wabos have been working on a new album, which will be the singer's fifth set of all-new material since he first split with Van Halen in 1996. A release date for the disc, which will bear the title "Livin' It Up," hasn't been announced, but a video for the album's first single, "Sam I Am," is streaming at Hagar's website.
