Sammy Hagar will lend his name to Center Stage Theater, a small city-owned theater in the rock singer’s native Fontana, CA.
The theater will undergo a full renovation before reopening in summer 2023.
The 400-seat venue will host intimate shows of all types, with Hagar agreeing to perform once a year for five years.
Fontana’s deputy city manager said, “His team is helping us brand it. It probably won’t be ‘Sammy Hagar Theater.’ His team wants something cooler than that. But the idea is that Hagar will be associated with the theater and that his participation will lead other acts to perform there. The big win is the reputation he. He gives us instant street cred.”
