Sammy Hagar thrilled the people fortunate enough to be there by taking the stage in a surprise performance to open his new Sammy’s Island beach bar at the Palms Resort in Las Vegas.
Alongside longtime bandmates Michael Anthony and Vic Johnson, the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer known as the “Red Rocker” bounded onto the stage during a set by tribute band Red Voodoo. Hagar belted out hits “Your Love is Driving Me Crazy” and “There’s Only One Way to Rock.
His fans, known as Redheads (get it, like the Grateful Dead’s Deadheads and Jimmy Buffett’s Parrotheads), downed tropical cocktails made with Sammy’s Beach Bar Rum at the Tiki Bar, margaritas with Santo Tequila at the Tequileria, buckets of Sammy’s Beach Bar Cocktails and Hagar’s new Red Rocker Lager by Red Rocker Brewing Co., which made its Nevada debut at the party.
And this music party continues throughout the summer as Sammy’s Island will host a series of live All-Star Jam performances. The series includes All-Star Jam: Hosted by SIXWIRE on Saturday, July 20, headlined by Sugar Ray frontman Mark McGrath and Matt Scanell from Vertical Horizon, along with The Rembrandts and Emerson Hart. More information and tickets for all events are here.
The Palms Pool has been completely reimagined and redesigned, with Hagar’s signature Baja beach vibe imprinted on everything from his premium spirits and food to the live music series, right down to the design elements and fabric patterns highlighted in each of the Hager-themed Red Rocker Bungalows.
