The Last Tour Unless It Isn’t

Hollywood, Fl – On July 31, 2025, the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida becomes the launchpad for David Lee Roth’s audaciously titled “The Last Tour Unless It Isn’t.” This isn’t just another stop—it’s the first official show of the tour, and the energy inside Hard Rock Live is electric with the promise of something unforgettable.

Roth, the original frontman of Van Halen, has always blurred the line between rock star and ringmaster. With a legacy spanning decades and a reputation for unpredictability, his return to the stage feels like a reunion with an old friend who still knows how to party. Tonight, he’s not just revisiting the past—he’s rewriting it with a wink.

The Hard Rock Live, nestled within the glowing silhouette of the Guitar Hotel, offers a perfect blend of intimacy and spectacle. The 7,000-seat venue pulses with anticipation as fans—some in vintage Van Halen tees, others in glam rock glitter—gather for what might be a farewell… or just another beginning. The lighting is not dramatic, quite subdued and plain vanilla compared to the personality onstage, the acoustics pristine, and the vibe? Pure rock ’n’ roll communion.

Roth’s touring band is a sonic wrecking crew comprised of Al Estrada (Lead Guitar), Matt Bissonette (Bass Guitar), Francis Valentino (Drums) and Danny Wagner (Keyboards). The band is supported by a team of 5 backup singers supporting Roth’s lead vocals.

From the first riff to the final bow, Roth commands the stage like a rock sorcerer. “Jump” turns the venue into a euphoric frenzy, complete with sing-a-longs, not-so high kicks, and synchronized crowd chants.

As Roth exits with a wink and a grin, the crowd is left buzzing. If this really is “The Last Tour Unless It Isn’t,” South Florida got the first—and possibly the best—taste of what’s to come.
