Four Years After ‘Retirement,’ David Lee Roth Announces Tour

After a comeback performance at the M3 Festival May 3 and four years after announcing his retirement, dynamic former Van Halen frontman David Lee Roth is returning to the road.

Roth announced a 12-show run beginning July 31 at Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Florida. His routing takes him to theaters and amphitheaters through Sept. 14 at Napa, California’s Blue Note Summer Sessions.

Prior to Saturday, Diamond Dave’s last performance came as the opener on KISS’s pandemic-interrupted 2020 tour. His last headline run was in 2006, though he did have residencies in Las Vegas.

In fact, it was prior to one of those residencies when he abruptly announced his retirement in an interview with the Las Vegas Review Journal in October 2021.

Roth is repped by WME.
