Sammy Hagar & The Circle, Whitesnake to launch U.S. tour

Jan. 27 (UPI) -- Sammy Hagar & The Circle and Whitesnake are going on tour in 2020.

Hagar, 72, announced Monday on Twitter that he will perform with The Circle, his supergroup with former Van Halen bandmate Michael Anthony, Jason Bonham and Vic Johnson, on a joint summer tour with Whitesnake. The groups will be joined by special guest Night Ranger.

Hagar shared the news alongside a video of himself and Whitesnake frontman David Coverdale.

"Sammy and The Circle have teamed up with @Whitesnake (and special guests @nightranger) for an epic 2020 tour crisscrossing the US and bringing the party to you!" the caption reads.

The new tour begins July 9 in West Palm Beach, Fla., and ends Sept. 20 in Shula Vista, Calif. Tickets go on sale to the general public Friday at 10 a.m. local time.

"I love some friendly competition on stage and that's exactly what this is going to be," Hagar said in a statement. "David and I have nothing but the highest respect for one another, but we would also like to blow the other guy off the stage! Add in Night Ranger and the fans will have one hell of a night of music."

Sammy Hagar & The Circle released its debut studio album, Space Between, in May. Whitesnake released its 13th studio album, Flesh & Blood, the same month.
