ROB HALFORD, FOREIGNER, NICKELBACK Among Newly Announced Guests On SAMMY HAGAR's 'Rock & Roll Road Trip'

AXS TV, the premier destination for classic rock programming, has announced the premiere date for the return of the network’s most popular original series, “Rock & Roll Road Trip With Sammy Hagar Presented by Mercury Insurance”.

The Red Rocker, Sammy Hagar, cruises across the country for even more candid conversations and unforgettable jam sessions with some of music’s biggest names, as season three of “Rock & Roll Road Trip With Sammy Hagar Presented by Mercury Insurance” debuts on Sunday, April 8, at 9 p.m. EST / 6 p.m. PST. Upcoming episodes feature an eclectic array of guest appearances including FOO FIGHTERS frontman Dave Grohl, THE WHO icon Roger Daltrey, JUDAS PRIEST singer Rob Halford, classic rock hit makers FOREIGNER, Canadian alt-rockers NICKELBACK, and more.

“It’s been a cool surprise how much we’re all enjoying the interview part of this show because as artists what happens on stage or in the music studio is the easy/fun stuff and the interviews often feel like the work,” remarked Sammy Hagar. “It’s like when the camera lights go on and the questions start, that typical wall or guard is down because it’s me on the other end and not a seasoned journalist asking the questions. So the flow is organic and its easy — to the point where we’re both surprised how deep and real the conversations get – we’re definitely forgetting the camera is even there and I think that’s really connecting with the viewers, too.”

“‘Rock & Roll Road Trip With Sammy Hagar’ is the perfect fit for our TV audience, giving them unprecedented access into the lives of some of today’s top musicians,” said Evan Haiman, AXS TV‘s vice president of programming and development. “The series has continued to gain new viewers with each of its prior two seasons, and we look forward to building on that success with the incredible crop of high-caliber talent that we have lined up for season three.”

“Rock & Roll Road Trip With Sammy Hagar” is produced in-house by AXS TV. Sammy Hagar, Tom Consolo, Evan Haiman and Kari Hagar all serve as executive producers and the series is produced by Stephen Stormer.
