David Lee Roth Kicks Off “Don’t Love Me, Rent Me” Tour + Live Without A Net Returns TONIGHT in HD!

David Lee Roth just lit the fuse on his 2026 run—reportedly titled the “Don’t Love Me, Rent Me Tour”—and he’s not easing into it. “Diamond Dave” stormed the stage with a full-throttle opening punch: “Panama,” “Drop Dead Legs,” and “Romeo Delight”—a killer trio that had the crowd instantly fired up. Then came the curveball… He downshifted into “Little Dreamer” from Van Halen—a deep cut he hadn’t performed solo in nearly 20 years. The last time? 2003. Moments like that are what make these shows must-see. Roth’s live setup is bigger than ever too, now featuring five backing vocalists, giving the show a fuller, more explosive sound. There’s also buzz that he’s been testing out a cover of New York State of Mind by Billy Joel—a bold move that could either crash or soar spectacularly. Next stop: Portland, Oregon on April 18, with the tour currently set to wrap up June 20 in Milwaukee. If this kickoff is any indication, Roth’s latest run is going to be unpredictable in the best way. David Lee Roth April 16, 2026 Spokane, WA Set List: 1. "Panama" 2. "Drop Dead Legs" 3.
