David Lee Roth to embark on tour, kicking off with Paramount show this summer
David Lee Roth is making a triumphant return to touring this summer, marking his comeback after a five-year hiatus. With a scheduled appearance at The Paramount in Huntington on August 10th, Roth’s return to the stage is eagerly anticipated by fans who have been missing his electrifying performances. The last time Long Island saw Roth on stage was a decade ago with Van Halen at Jones Beach Theater in 2015. His absence has been felt keenly among music enthusiasts, and his upcoming tour promises to be a memorable experience for all attendees.
In 2020, Roth’s career was put on hold due to the pandemic, with his last performances being a short residency at the House of Blues in Las Vegas and a guest appearance on KISS’ “End of the Road Tour.” However, tragedy struck when his former bandmate, the legendary guitarist Eddie Van Halen, passed away on October 6th, 2020. Roth’s tribute to him, a solo single titled “Somewhere Over the Rainbow Bar and Grill,” demonstrated his deep connection to their shared musical journey. Reflecting on their time together, Roth paid homage to the memories they had created.
Following Eddie Van Halen’s death, Roth took a step back from the music scene, opting for a period of silence to mourn the loss of his friend and collaborator. However, his recent return to touring signifies a new chapter in his career, one that celebrates his legacy and musical contributions. His performance at the M3 Rock Festival in Maryland was a standout moment, showcasing his enduring talent and showmanship. With a setlist that included classic Van Halen tracks, Roth delighted audiences with his timeless charm and charisma.
One attendee, Darren Paltrowitz of Long Beach, shared his enthusiasm for Roth’s performance and the atmosphere at the M3 Rock Festival. Paltrowitz commended Roth for his dedication and energy on stage, noting that the experience was unparalleled since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. As Roth gears up for his upcoming show at The Paramount, fans can expect a night filled with nostalgia, high-energy performances, and a touch of Roth’s signature flair.
The anticipation for Roth’s return to touring is palpable, with tickets for The Paramount show set to go on sale soon. Music fans and enthusiasts alike are eagerly awaiting the opportunity to witness a living legend in action once again. As Roth prepares to take the stage and captivate audiences with his timeless hits, his comeback promises to be a celebration of music, friendship, and the enduring spirit of rock ‘n’ roll.
