No UK dates?

[Gutterflower]

I'm hoping for more US dates - I don't wanna have to drive to Philly or the Meadowlands

[Fretman]

No Houston dates either....damn.

[hashima]

they should add atleast one Europe gig... maybe old Eddie's forgotten abit about his past... and c'mon two gigs in Chicago instead of doing Amsterdam, Paris, Berlin or Stockholm... Canada you lucky guys...

That's great news so the VAN HALEN boys truely are going to do this much awaited Van Halen re-union "union" Tour 2007/2008! I'm pleased to hear that they kept their promise to the fans and that the 1st leg of their VAN HALEN Reunion Tour includes a nice variety of major Cities that will get first peek at their highly esteem Concert shows & I'm sure if your City is not added or Country - it's still early on so all the Cities & Countries are not added on as of yet. I see the Sacramento date though "yipppeeeee" so their coming this way just in time for the pumpkin pie & tuckey dinner meal with all the trimmings. All the best to the legendary Van Halen and it's great to have them David, Eddie, Anthony & Alex join forces, again Peace.

Oh don't worry everybody. Supposedly there are twice this many dates in the works. Plus check out all the the big gaps in dates, so more cities and more multiple shows in other cities.

I'm still not happy at all about this whole 'Wolfie' thing though...

[MetalHead]

i still doubt that Wolfie has what it takes to tour like that.

he'll do the first shows, then drop out, and if he doesn't
drop out, it'll piss the other members off and that'll piss Eddie off
... and so on and so on ...

I Give them a month and they'll get sick of Daves shit yet again!!!

[rockinrye]

I see they are playing major hockey arena's . Tickets go on sale for the Toronto show today (Aug 18) I am gonna try and get some .

I saw Van Halen on the Diver Down tour and the 1984 tour .

I have a few things too ponder about this tour though .Firstly can Dave sing ? And , is Van Halen in the category of " who cares"? . I can't see this tour doing any big sales !

Is there any new material being recorded?

I hope I am wrong though.

I watched some of their press conference on VH1 the other night. I'm gonna try for Philly tix this morning - it's really early in the tour

Good luck to everyone trying for tix - I think they'll sell out - I noticed that a lot of their VIP packages are already gone. I've only seen VH with Sammy, so I'm gonna go for it

LATER:

SCORE!
I got floor seats for the second night of the tour in Greensboro, NC - and I've got a friend who I can stay with down there. WHOOHOOO!

Congrats Linda! Greensboro is probably 2 1/2 to 3 hours away from where I live if I'm not mistaken. TSO plays there about every year during their winter tours.
