LOS ANGELES, Nov. 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- In the midst of one of the
most highly anticipated and successful tours of the year, Van Halen
announced today that they will extend their historic tour into 2008. Eddie
Van Halen, David Lee Roth, Alex Van Halen, and Wolfgang Van Halen,
together for the first time in 22 years, will kick off the New Year by
extending their tour into 28 additional cities, kicking off with a January
22nd performance at Oklahoma City's Ford Center and running through April
7th at Milwaukee, Wisconsin's Bradley Center.
The 2007 tour has drawn over 600,000 fans thus far with sold out shows in
cities across America, winning the praise of fans and critics alike. "From
the first power chords of "You Really Got Me," the band hit a hard groove
that didn't let up for the next two hours," said the New York Daily News.
The Hollywood Reporter said: "For one perfect night ... Van Halen was
nothing short of spectacular."
Tickets for the San Antonio, Dallas, Houston, Omaha, New Orleans,
Charlottesville, Hershey, and Atlantic City dates will go on sale Saturday
December 1st and East Rutherford and New York will go on sale Monday
December 3rd and are available at http://www.livenation.com and
Ticketmaster. On sale dates for the rest of the tour will be announced
shortly and additional 2008 dates are also expected to be announced soon.
Formed in Los Angeles in 1974, the band has always been known for their
electrifying live shows. From the moment they released their self-titled
1978 debut album, Van Halen shook the foundations of rock, thanks largely
to Roth's peerless showmanship, Eddie Van Halen's revolutionary guitar
virtuosity and their songwriting abilities. Their music has changed rock
and roll forever and will continue to.
