(Los Angeles, CA) November 26, 2007 - In the midst of one of the most highly anticipated and successful tours of the year, Van Halen announced today that they will extend their historic tour into 2008. Eddie Van Halen, David Lee Roth, Alex Van Halen, and Wolfgang Van Halen, together for the first time in 22 years, will kick off the New Year by extending their tour into 28 additional cities, kicking off with a January 22nd performance at Oklahoma City's Ford Center and running through April 7th at Milwaukee, Wisconsin's Bradley Center.

The 2007 tour has drawn over 600,000 fans thus far with sold out shows in cities across America, winning the praise of fans and critics alike. "From the first power chords of "You Really Got Me," the band hit a hard groove that didn't let up for the next two hours," said the New York Daily News. The Hollywood Reporter said: "For one perfect night...Van Halen was nothing short of spectacular."

Tickets for the San Antonio, Dallas, Houston, Omaha, New Orleans, Charlottesville, Hershey, and Atlantic City dates will go on sale Saturday December 1st and East Rutherford and New York will go on sale Monday December 3rd and are available at www.livenation.com and Ticketmaster. On sale dates for the rest of the tour will be announced shortly and additional 2008 dates are also expected to be announced soon.

ok, i have to whine. just kill me now. they're in hershey pa, about 1/2 hour from my house at the one time of year i'm NOT HERE!!! gaaaaah!

FT Lauderdale is about 13 hours away, it's gonna be hard as hell to convince my parents to take me. It's gonna be hard because my mom hates Van Halen, especially Dave. But, I've got my dad on my side!, but that still don't mean shit.

Yeah i saw them in the Alstate Arena on Oct 16 and my parents were kind of mad because they paid 100 bucks for the ticket so it might be hard for me to go this time. Im praying they will pay for it because i thought they were awsome.

I'd love to see them again, but I don't know if I want to spend the money to see them again.

Hard choice. I say spend the money on your guitar, you've already given Ed enough money, now do something to honor him.

That's a good idea, I'd rather spend it on a guitar. But first I have to get a bit better.

I just went to their website to see if there was any news as to Ed's health and medical tests, and in perusing the concert dates (which have been switched around and around) I found out that they've rescheduled the March 3 Dallas show to April Freakin' 24th!!!!!!! I'll be IN Dallas then!!!!!!!! **big smile** Sh*t, now I have to figure out how to justify forking over the cash again....am I being too greedy?? Should a girl get to see her idols 3 times in the space of 7 months?? I am quite beside myself and clearly have some thinking and planning to do....man oh man would that be too much fun....

As long as spending the money on another show won't hurt you finacially I think you should. You never know with Van Halen, this might be the last time you will be able to see them with Dave. But then again, they could go on another tour next year. It's really anyone's guess.

[A.J. Massey]

Go see 'em. Didn't you tell me that your son hasn't seen them yet? Take him and let Edward blow his freaking mind.
