Sammy Hagar Rocks ACL Live

On April 30, 2019, "The Red Rocker," Sammy Hagar stopped by Austin City Limits Live at the Moody Theater with his band The Circle for a sold out show on day one of a two night event as part of their Full Circle Jam Tour.




Sammy Hagar and The Circle is an English-American rock super group consisting of four of the biggest names in rock music. The group has been performing together since 2014, but several of the members have performed together in other groups.





Frontman Sammy Hagar is an American rock vocalist, guitarist, songwriter, musician, and entrepreneur. Sammy began his career in the music industry in the 1970s with the hard rock band Montrose. After a highly successful solo career, Hagar joined Van Halen, replacing David Lee Roth as the band's lead singer from 1985 until 1996. During his time with the band, Van Halen earned a Grammy Award as well as producing 4 #1 songs and five platinum albums. In 2007, Hagar was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as part of Van Halen. Since his departure from Van Halen, Sammy Hagar has continued to perform as part of the super group Chickenfoot, his own band Sammy and the Waboritas, who perform at Sammy's cantina in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and now as the lead in The Circle.










Michael Anthony is the groups bassist and performs background vocals. Anthony performed with Sammy in Van Halen and Chickenfoot. 









Vic Johnson is a guitarist and vocalist. He performed with The BusBoys before joining Sammy Hagar and The Waboritas. 









Jason Bonham is a British drummer and son of the legendary Led Zeppelin drummer, John Bonham. Jason has performed with many of the music industry's greats, as well as taking over his late father's drum duties in Led Zeppelin tributes.
