Sammy Hagar & The Best of All Worlds Band release 'The Residency,' new live album

Press Release

“Sammy Hagar & The Best of All Worlds Band – The Residency,” the electrifying new live album from Grammy Award-winner and Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Sammy Hagar and The Best of All Worlds Band – featuring Michael Anthony (bass, vocals), Joe Satriani (guitar), Kenny Aronoff (drums) and Rai Thistlethwayte (keyboards, guitar, vocals) – is out today via Big Machine Rock. Recorded during Hagar’s hit Las Vegas residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM in 2025, the 19-track album captures the energy, hits and incredible sound that made the initial residency run one of the most celebrated rock residencies in Sin City history.

The album includes fan-favorites “Summer Nights (Live),” “Best of Both Worlds (Live),” “Right Now (Live)” and “I Can’t Drive 55 (Live),” alongside sonic masterpieces rarely heard live like “5150,” “Love Walks In” and “Humans Being (Live).”

Hagar said, “There’s nothing like the sound of this band and that Vegas crowd – the energy, the spirit, the friendship. The Residency is everything I love about rock ’n’ roll: loud, live and bad ass.”

The album arrives as Hagar prepares to return to Dolby Live in 2026 for new performances of The Best of All Worlds residency, March 11-21 and Sept. 18-26. Tickets are available at RedRocker.com.
