Ultimate guide to his Scottsdale concert

It’s been a year since Sammy Hagar crashed the stage at the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale auto auction with Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony to join Red Voodoo in reminding car enthusiasts that there’s only one way to rock and there are those among us who cannot drive 55.

They also did a few Van Halen songs, which sounded great. And Hagar clearly had a blast, so much so that he’s headed back to the car auction to stage a proper concert at the helm of his own band, which also features Anthony on bass.

Here’s everything you need to know before you go see Sammy Hagar Rock the Block at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale 2025.
