Overview

• David Lee Roth returned to public performance for the first time in over five years, delivering a Van Halen-focused set at the M3 Rock Festival in Columbia, Maryland.
• The 75-minute performance featured hits like 'Panama,' 'Runnin’ With the Devil,' and 'Jump,' with guitarist Al Estrada replicating Eddie Van Halen’s signature licks.
• Roth humorously referred to the show as 'the end of my first retirement,' following his 2021 announcement to step away from performing.
• He announced a 21-date U.S. summer tour running from July to September 2025, marking his official return to live music.
• The performance and tour come after years of tension within the Van Halen camp over Eddie Van Halen’s legacy and failed reunion attempts.
