‘Diamond Dave’ announces U.S. tour, but Las Vegas missing

David Lee Roth, famously known as “Diamond Dave,” has resurfaced with a U.S. tour, captivating audiences once again with his iconic stage presence and early Van Halen hits. Roth, the original frontman of Van Halen, took a brief retirement after the passing of Eddie Van Halen, citing it as the reason for his hiatus. However, like a persistent ice cream man, Roth has made a comeback, delighting fans with his timeless rock classics.

Returning to the stage for the first time since January 2020, Roth recently performed at the M3 Rock Festival in Maryland, showcasing his flamboyant style and energetic stage persona. Clad in a snug leather outfit with a blue neckerchief, Roth belted out crowd favorites like “Panama,” “Unchained,” and “Jump,” solidifying his status as a rock legend. Backed by a talented band and enthusiastic backing singers, Roth’s performance was a nostalgic trip back to the early days of Van Halen.

Despite his previous retirement announcement and canceled shows, there is speculation that he might include Las Vegas on his tour itinerary. As fans eagerly anticipate his return to the entertainment capital of the world, Roth’s comeback coincided with fellow rock icon Sammy Hagar’s residency at Dolby Live. Hagar, known for his electrifying performances, delivered a setlist of “Van Hagar” favorites and solo hits, displaying his unwavering passion for rock music.

While Hagar’s residency wraps up in May, Roth’s tour promises an exciting lineup of classic rock anthems and high-energy performances.
