It’s confirmed: 2012 is going to be a huge year for Van Halen, as the hard rockers have confirmed that they will hit the road after the New Year. The news came out Monday (Dec. 26) via a YouTube video showing David Lee Roth and the rest of the band rehearsing together on stage. Individual tour dates have yet to drop, but the video announces that the first round of tickets will go on sale starting Jan. 10. Watch the official, two-minute announcement video, below.
Van Halen recently signed with Interscope Records and are planning to release a new album in 2012. The set is a long time coming, as the band’s last full-length album with Roth was 1983’s 1984. Today’s Van Halen lineup features Roth, original members Eddie and Alex Van Halen and Eddie’s 20-year-old son Wolfgang Van Halen, the latter who joined the group in place of bass player Michael Anthony in 2006. (Anthony now plays with former Van Halen singer Sammy Hagar in Chickenfoot.)
Who’s stoked for the latest creation from Roth and company? Let us know your thoughts in the comments area!
