Considered by fans as one of the most highly anticipated tours in rock 'n' roll history, Roth, guitarist Eddie Van Halen and drummer Alex Van Halen will perform with Eddie's son, Wolfgang Van Halen, who joins the lineup as the band's bass player.  Van Halen and Roth have not performed or recorded together since 1984's classic multi-platinum album, 1984, and subsequent tour, making this tour truly a historic event.


Van Halen remains one of the most important and influential bands of all time.  Formed in Los Angeles in 1974, the band quickly won a loyal hometown fan base with 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; this changed rock music forever.


The band's record of achievement is hard to top.  Their two albums, Van Halen and 1984, were certified diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America.  Van Halen joins an elite short list of two-time Diamond Award honorees in the history of the music industry.  The Diamond Award is presented to an artist for album sales of 10 million or more units.  They also are in the Guinness Book of World Records for having more No. 1 hits on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart than any other band in history.


Inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame in March of this year, Van Halen has produced a treasured body of work that fans will admire for decades to come.
