David Lee Roth, at 71, is proving that he still has plenty of energy left in the tank. The former frontman of Van Halen, known for his controversial and colorful personality, has announced his first concert date of 2026. Set to take place at the BMO Pavillion in Milwaukee on June 20, 2026, this performance suggests the possibility of a full tour on the horizon. The artist presale for tickets will be available from Dec. 10-11 at 10 p.m. CST, with the general sale beginning on Dec. 12 at 10 a.m. CST.
While reactions to the news of the upcoming gig on Roth’s official Instagram account were mostly positive, some fans expressed skepticism about his decision to continue performing. One fan reminisced about seeing Roth with Van Halen in Porto Alegre, calling it the “greatest show on earth” and urging him to return. On the other hand, another fan jokingly commented on Roth’s enthusiasm and stage presence.
Roth had previously announced his retirement and even planned a five-show residency in Las Vegas in 2021. However, he later reversed this decision, citing unforeseen circumstances related to COVID-19. Despite this setback, Roth returned to the stage in 2025 with a series of 21 dates, including a stop in Las Vegas.
The musician’s dedication to his craft and refusal to slow down are evident in his choice to continue performing. With his upcoming concert in Milwaukee, Roth is once again proving that age is just a number when it comes to pursuing one’s passion. As he prepares to take the stage in 2026, fans can expect an unforgettable experience filled with the energy and excitement that Roth is known for.
