For decades, Sammy Hagar’s Birthday Bash has highlighted the Cabo calendar. This year, launching the festivities on October 7 and 9 gives fans more chances to jam with the Red Rocker at the iconic Cabo Wabo Cantina—the heart of his Cabo legacy. Then, the week wraps up with the traditional Sammy Hagar Rocks Cabo Birthday Bash on October 11 and 13, aligning with Hagar’s actual 78th birthday on the 13th.
Who’s Headlining?
While the full lineup is still under wraps, you can expect the rock dynasty to return:
Sammy Hagar & The Circle will headline, bringing that high-energy rock you know and love.
Longtime collaborators—Michael Anthony (of Van Halen fame), Vic Johnson, and Kenny Aronoff—are all expected to be part of the action.
The staple “usual suspects”—plus special surprise guests—have become the heartbeat of this event.
And yes, more big-name drop-ins are tradition—past years brought everyone from Jerry Cantrell to Stevie Wonder.
