More Van Halen For You

Ever since Van Halen announced its 2012 tour plans earlier this year, fans have been eyeing that last date on the schedule, praying that the band would extend its tour past the June 26 gig in New Orleans.

Today those prayers were answered with the addition of 18 more shows in support of the band’s new album, A Different Kind Of Truth, beginning July 7 in Uncasville, Conn., and running through Aug. 12 in Cincinnati.
