Sammy Hagar is returning to Las Vegas.

The former Van Halen frontman has announced a new set of dates for his The Best of All Worlds Vegas residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM.

The latest Vegas stint will be made up of 11 shows, taking place March 11-21 and Sept. 18-26. Sammy will once again be joined by the Best of All Worlds Band, made up of Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony, guitar great Joe Satriani, drummer Kenny Aronoff and multi-instrumentalist Rai Thistlethwayte.

“I can’t tell you how hard it’s been not to leak this announcement,” Sammy says. “Those last nine shows were some of the best shows I’ve done in my life.”

He adds, “I love this band like no other and can’t wait to do it again. One listen to the live residency record coming out and you will understand this is my idea of retirement! Beats golf any day.”

That live residency recording is Sammy’s upcoming album, Sammy Hagar & The Best of All Worlds Band – The Residency, dropping Oct. 10.

A Citi presale for residency tickets begins Tuesday at 10 a.m. PT. After a variety of other presales, tickets will go on sale to the general public Friday at 10 a.m. PT.

Sammy debuted his The Best of All Worlds residency in April. A complete list of new dates can be found at RedRocker.com.

Neil Young is being sued over the name of his latest band, Chrome Hearts.

A luxury brand based out of Los Angeles, also named Chrome Hearts, is suing the rocker for trademark infringement in California federal court.

According to the suit, Young and the band’s “continued use of the confusingly similar name in commerce violates Chrome Hearts’ valuable intellectual property rights,” contending that the rockers have “intentionally and knowingly capitalized off of confusion between” the brand and the band.

Chrome Hearts, the brand, has been in business since 1988 selling Chrome Hearts-branded clothing items. The suit notes it has worked with several A-list celebrities, including Madonna, Rihanna, Lou Reed and Cher, and mentions that Timothée Chalamet even wore its clothes to the Screen Actors Guild Awards.

The suit claims the clothing company reached out to Young and the band in July about its trademark rights, asking them to stop using the Chrome Hearts name, but they are continuing to not only perform under the name, but sell merchandise with the name on it.

The brand is asking the court to order Neil Young and the Chrome Hearts to stop using the name, to award it financial damages and to reimburse it for legal expenses.

Young began touring with Chrome Hearts — organist Spooner Oldham, guitarist Micah Nelson, bassist Corey McCormick and drummer Anthony LoGerfo — in 2024. They released their first album together, Talking to the Trees, in June.

They wrap their Love Earth tour on Monday in Los Angeles and play Farm Aid on Saturday in Minneapolis.

Bruce Springsteen fans got their first preview of Jeremy Allen White singing as The Boss in a new trailer for the much-anticipated film Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere.

The clip debuted during the Emmy Awards Sunday night, and in it you can hear White singing the “Atlantic City,” a track from Springsteen’s 1982 album Nebraska, the making of which is the central focus of the film.

“It’s a hard thing, realizing people aren’t who you want them to be,” White says in the opening of the trailer. “It feels different coming home; there’s a real emptiness.”

After Springsteen’s manager Jon Landau, played by Jeremy Strong, tells Bruce that the label wants the first top-10 hit from him, Springsteen pushes back.

“These new songs, they are different. But they’re the only thing making sense to me right now,” he says. “The only thing I can still believe in.” To which Landau replies, “Then we’ll get it. Whatever it takes.”

Later, when the label exec calls the album a “highly unorthodox career move,” Landau says, “That’s the point. He’s channeling something deeply personal,” adding, “but in this office, my office, we believe in Bruce Springsteen.”

“This film takes a couple years out of my life and looks at them very closely, a time when I made Nebraska and went through some personal difficulties,” Springsteen shares. “I’m so appreciative of Jeremy Allen White and the entire cast for their wonderful and moving performances—and (director) Scott Cooper, one of the most generous collaborators I’ve ever worked with.”

Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere opens Oct. 24.

Eagles founding member Bernie Leadon is getting ready to drop Too Late To Be Cool, his first solo album in 20 years, and he’s just shared another track from the record.

The latest single is “Go On Down To Mobile,” which Leadon describes as a song “about a clueless guy having a long-distance relationship” with a gal in Alabama.

This is the third track Leadon has released from Too Late To Be Cool, which is due out Oct. 10. He previously released the emotional song “Too Many Memories,” which Leadon says can be somewhat misunderstood.

While the video is sprinkled with archival footage of his time with the Eagles, Leadon tells ABC Audio the song is about more than just that period of his life.

“I mean, it’s about my entire life. I’ve done a lot of things that weren’t even music necessarily, including family and traveling all over the place,” he says. “And, you know, I’ve had a really wide, varied life.”

He adds, “That’s why the second verse talks about ‘I’ve lived many lifetimes in a single go.'”

Leadon also released the track “Just a Little,” a fun song about being angry, which he says he enjoyed writing.

“I tried to think of every single possible non-profane way to say I’ve been royally messed over,” he shares. “And so it was a lot of fun to do that.” 

Too Late To Be Cool is available for preorder now.

The Tom Petty estate has shared another previously unseen clip from his Wildflowers era.

The estate has been dipping into the Wildflowers vault in celebration of the album’s 30th anniversary. The latest clip is a performance of the album’s title track, with a post on Instagram describing it as a “bird’s-eye view of a soundstage rehearsal for the Dogs With Wings Tour in 1995.”

More archival footage is expected to be released in the coming months, and fans can get their first look at it by joining Tom Petty Nation, the rocker’s free, exclusive fan club.

The video’s release coincides with Friday’s Blu-ray release of the documentary Tom Petty, Somewhere You Feel Free: The Making of Wildflowers, directed by Mary Wharton.

The film, originally released on YouTube, follows Petty as he works on Wildflowers with producer Rick Rubin. It features archival footage of the pair in the studio, which was unearthed following Petty’s death in 2017.

Released in November 1994, Wildflowers was the first of three Petty albums produced by Rubin. The album peaked at #8 on the Billboard 200. It featured the singles “You Don’t Know How It Feels,” “You Wreck Me” and the title track.
