While thousands are in town for football, some have good ol' fashion rock 'n' roll on their minds. This Big Game weekend, The Palms will be chock full with festivities, including a headlining concert with one of the most distinctive voices in rock, Sammy Hagar. The singer truly began to be a household name in the mid '80s when he fronted the already formed Van Halen, replacing David Lee Roth. Hagar comes to The Pearl Concert Theater on Saturday, February 2, 2008, at 8 p.m. for what is sure to be a winning performance.

After leading multiple bands throughout the '60s and '70s, Hagar went solo for some time before joining the rock group Van Halen. In the late '70s, he released a self-titled album which went gold. In 1981, he released Standing Hampton, followed by 1982 Three Lock Box – the albums reached platinum and gold status respectively.
In 1984, before joining Van Halen, Hagar released VOA which featured the popular song "I Can't Drive 55." The following year, Hagar became the new voice of Van Halen and recorded 5150 which was released in 1986. Hagar remained with the band through several years and several hit albums including For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge (1991), Live: Right Here, Right Now (1993) and Balance (1995).
The following year Hagar was back on the solo track with much speculation on his departure from Van Halen. The media attention helped propel his first solo release Marching to Mars (1997) in to the Top 20. It was Hagar's first solo release in more than 10 years. He followed his reemergence as a solo artist with the release Red Voodoo in 1999. Hagar released more solo albums with the most recent being 2006's Livin' It Up!
Presented by Andrew Hewitt and Live Nation. Doors for Sammy Hagar will open at 7 p.m. and show time is 8 p.m. The Pearl is home to the Miller Lite concert series.
