Rock legend David Lee Roth will be bringing his high-octane energy and iconic Van Halen hits to the 2026 Sturgis Buffalo Chip festival in South Dakota on August 7, 2026.

Roth is slated to headline the first official day of the rally, which runs from August 7 till the 16th, and is expected to perform a slew of his most infamous hits.

“David Lee Roth said in an interview once that he sells smiles for a living, and we do the exact same thing at the Chip, so this feels like a match made in rock ‘n’ roll heaven,” shares Rod Woodruff, CEO of Sturgis Buffalo Chip. “Opening the rally with an unforgettable show from Diamond Dave playing his biggest Van Halen hits will keep smiles permanently plastered on faces all through the Rally, and probably longer!”

The festival will include concerts, charity rides, custom bike shows, stunts, racing, women’s events and more. Previously announced performers include Lainey Wilson and Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Tickets for the festival are on sale now at BuffaloChip.com, where visitors can also find the full event lineup.

Freddie Mercury shares his thoughts on Mr. Bad Guy in a special YouTube mini-series in celebration of the late Queen frontman’s solo album.

Launched earlier this month to mark the 40th anniversary of Mr. Bad Guy’s original 1985 album release and a new 2025 anniversary vinyl release, this special three -part Freddie Mercury Mr Bad Guy YouTube mini-series returns for part two to the classic interview the rock icon gave to journalist David Wigg in 1985 in support of the album’s initial release.

This second episode explores Freddie’s approach to songwriting, and from where he drew his inspiration. Revisiting the candid interview conducted by Wigg at the time, we witness one of the rare occasions where Freddie revealed the differences between the public and private faces of the legendary Freddie Mercury.

The clip opens with footage from the lavish, Stravinsky and Dante-inspired, David Mallet-directed video for Mr. Bad Guy’s second single, “Made In Heaven.”

Looking back, Wigg concurs with Freddie’s admission that Mr. Bad Guy represents “a whole spectrum of what my life is.”

“He was very keen to make Mr. Bad Guy because he had a selection of songs he felt wouldn’t have worked with Queen,” the journalist stresses today. “But he worked just as hard on them as anything he did with the band. He wrote some wonderful songs that were full of both pain and beauty for that album, songs like ‘Love Me Like There’s No Tomorrow’ and ‘Made In Heaven.'”

In the upcoming third and final episode in the Mr. Bad Guy YouTube mini-series, Mercury talks about the record’s songs that are especially personal to him.

Mr. Bad Guy’s new 40th anniversary special edition vinyl reissue is available on translucent green vinyl and picture disc LP here.
