The Las Vegas Review-Journal is reporting that Sammy Hagar & The Circle will play a rooftop concert above the Strip on September 22nd at Beer Park (Paris Las Vegas) in Las Vegas, Nevada. The show will start at 6:30pm, with 200 contest winners and invited guests on the deck. It will run 30 minutes, "or until the sun sets, or happy hour commences. Whichever comes first."

The show will also play to the pedestrian traffic across the Strip.

Hagar: "I'm so looking forward to doing this crazy thing, which I've never done before. It's inspired by The Beatles, who were one of the first ones to do it."

The band features Hagar, former Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony, guitarist Vic Johnson, and drummer Jason Bonham.

Sammy Hagar hopes to complete an EP’s worth of new songs with The Circle, working from the stash of material that he’s accumulating.

“I’m looking at really writing five or six great songs,” Hagar tells Ultimate Classic Rock. “No filler. Every one of them, I want to say that ‘This is the best song that I’ve written’ and then the next one, ‘Nope, this is better than that one and this is better than that one’ and put out just five great, great songs and be happy.”

If Hagar has his way, the sessions would be produced by Dave Cobb, known for his work with Jason Isbell, Chris Stapleton, Dawes and many others. “His records sound so honest and real. He captures soul,” Hagar notes. “I think that’s my dream - and I’m not making an announcement, that’s for damn sure. It probably wouldn’t be until mid-next year that I’d get it done.”

Hagar has added to new dates for his Las Vegas residency at The Strat Hotel, Casino & SkyPod - November 12 and 13. "Due to extraordinary pre-sale ticket demand and the first two weekends of shows selling out in just two hours, we've added two new dates."

Hagar adds: "Adding these shows so quickly makes me happier than anyone for the fans that didn't get tickets the first time. This is exciting, we're going to be doing this for a while."
