Sammy Hagar to mount spring 'Cinco de Cabo' tour

Reinstated Van Halen frontman Sammy Hagar returns to the solo circuit this spring during his Mexican-themed "Cinco de Cabo" tour.

The veteran rocker and his band, The WaboRitas, launch the outing with a three-night stand at his Cabo Wabo club in Lake Tahoe, NV; the April 29-May 1 run marks the one-year anniversary of the venue, a spin-off of the Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, nightspot that Hagar and Van Halen opened in 1990.

A half-dozen subsequent dates are set through mid-May, and tickets for most shows will hit the box office Friday and Saturday (2/18-19), according to Hagar's website. Details are shown below

Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony--who often toured with Hagar in the years leading up to Hagar's 2004 return to Van Halen--will again join the singer during the upcoming roadtrip.

Last year, Hagar re-teamed with Anthony, guitarist Eddie Van Halen and drummer Alex Van Halen for a North American tour that kicked off in June and ran until November. The reunion also spawned a two-disc hits set titled "Best of Both Worlds," which featured three new cuts.

Last November, Alex Van Halen told a Kansas newspaper that the group planned to take a break after the tour, and would then head into the studio to record a new album with Hagar on vocals.

A late-December message that Anthony posted on his own website, however, raised some question marks about the state of Van Halen.

"I'm not sure what the future holds for Van Halen, but I can tell you Sammy and I will be out there rocking together with the Wabos in 2005," Anthony wrote.
