Chickenfoot came to life after a series of jams held at Hagar’s club, Cabo Wabo Cantina, in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

“I really wasn’t looking to have a real band, but when I got involved with these guys, only a fool would say, ‘No, I’m not going to do this,'” Hagar said. “The minute we started jamming it was obvious, like, ‘This is something that needs to be heard.’”

There will be a limited number of presale tickets available to official Chickenfoot fan club members. Check out the band’s Web site for more information by clicking here.
