Roth made a triumphant return to the stage at the M3 Rock Festival in May 2025, delivering a setlist filled with iconic Van Halen tracks such as “Runnin’ with the Devil,” “Jamie’s Cryin’,” and “Jump.” This performance marked his first full show since opening for KISS in March 2020.
During his time with Van Halen from 1974 to 1985, then later from 1996 to 2020, Roth solidified his status as a rock icon. His contributions to the band earned him a spot in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2007. In addition to his success with Van Halen, Roth also enjoyed a thriving solo career with several gold and platinum-certified albums and multiple top 20 hits, including “California Girls,” “Just Like Paradise,” “Just A Gigolo/I Ain’t Got Nobody,” and “Yankee Rose.”
Fans can look forward to experiencing Roth’s electrifying stage presence once again as he takes them on a musical journey through his storied career during his highly-anticipated 2026 tour.
