Most of David Lee Roth’s remaining tour dates cancelled + Sammy Hagar sends message of support
David Lee Roth has pulled the plug on the majority of his 2026 Don’t Love Me, Rent Me tour dates. While the tour kicked off in Washington back in April, recent updates to his official website confirm that nearly all upcoming shows are off the schedule. Only one stop remains on the calendar for August 7 in Sturgis, South Dakota.
Industry speculation points toward poor ticket sales as the primary reason for these sudden cancellations. The list of scrapped performances includes dates originally slated for locations across the United States, including stops in Colorado, Iowa, Kentucky, and California. The sudden shift leaves fans and promoters waiting for further clarity on the status of these events.
In a move that caught many fans by surprise, former Van Halen bandmate Sammy Hagar posted a video expressing his support for Roth. Hagar, alongside bassist Michael Anthony, reached out to state that they value Roth's efforts to keep the music of their former band alive. Hagar even extended an open invitation for Roth to join their upcoming residency in Las Vegas this September.
This exchange highlights the enduring connection between the men who fronted one of the most significant rock acts of the last century. While the tour landscape changes, the respect between these musicians remains a focal point for their shared fan base. Supporters continue to monitor official channels for news regarding the final remaining tour date.
