LOS ANGELES, CA, 4/11/2025 – Kenny Aronoff is heading into a jam-packed summer of major live music events, bringing his signature thunder behind the kit to two powerhouse lineups.
Las Vegas Residency with Sammy Hagar
Aronoff will join Sammy Hagar’s high-octane “Best of All Worlds” residency, running from April 30 through May 17 at Dolby Live at Park MGM in Las Vegas. Before the residency begins, the band — featuring Hagar, Aronoff, Joe Satriani, Michael Anthony, and Rai Thistlethwayte, will deliver a one-night-only set at the sold-out Stagecoach Music Festival, April 27th.
European Tour with The SATCHVAI Band
Later this summer, Aronoff heads to Europe with a brand-new supergroup: The SATCHVAI Band, featuring guitar legends Joe Satriani and Steve Vai teaming up for the first time in their decades-long careers. The powerhouse lineup also includes Marco Mendoza on bass and Pete Thorn on guitar. Aronoff and Satriani have shared the stage on multiple solo tours since 2019 and previously teamed up in Chickenfoot. Now, they’re back together for a full-throttle run through Europe that’s set to blow the roof off every venue.
“What can I say about the legendary Kenny Aronoff that I haven’t said before?” asks Satriani. No other drummer has the sound, feel, time, groove and swagger like Kenny. He’s an exceptional human being too. He’s supernatural!”
“Kenny is the quintessential rock drummer,” said Vai. “His time is bulletproof, his tone is fat and clean, and his ability to respond in an improvisational setting is instant. Besides that, he’s one of the easiest and most fun guys to tour with—an essential quality on the road.”
The “Surfing With the Hydra” tour kicks off June 13 in York, UK, and will include performances throughout Europe, concluding August 2nd.
