Van Halen Likely To Extend Tour Into Next Year

reports: VAN HALEN is likely to extend its reunion tour with singer David Lee Roth well into 2008, according to LiveDaily.com. The band announced that a planned stop in St. Louis, which was scheduled for October 28 but postponed earlier this month, has now been rescheduled for March 30, a likely indicator that the show will be part of a larger late winter/early spring jaunt for the reactivated band.

Tickets for the postponed St. Louis date will be honored at the new one, with refunds available at the point of purchase.

VAN HALEN's current tour schedule ends on December 30 in Las Vegas and the band has yet to confirm any other shows aside from the St. Louis gig.

VAN HALEN's tour, which features Roth behind the mic for the first time in 22 years, launched in late September to massive ticket sales and mostly positive reviews. The trek features Wolfgang Van Halen, teenage son of guitarist Eddie Van Halen, playing bass instead of original member Michael Anthony, who was not invited to participate.

VAN HALEN next performs on Thursday (November 1) in Washington D.C.

Am I the only one that thinks this tour without Michael Anthony is a bunch of B.S.??? I love Van Halen, but why would you not invite him to the reunion tour? Anthony was a major part of that band, plus he's a hell of a bass player. FKN GREED.

I just got back from seeing the V.H. show! I have to agree with the reviews...mostly positive, although it is unfortunate for Michael Anthony, Wolfgang did an excellent job! Not only was his bass playing excellent, but his vocals were outstanding too. I was skeptical, but I really thought they puy on a great show. Only they know why Michael was not invited...I was not disappointed!
