Van Halen Announce 2012 Touring Plans & Reveal NEW Album Release Date - Video Available!

Van Halen has announced that in 2012 they will be hitting the road, in celebration of their NEW record with Interscope Records (set to be released on February 7th). The band has released a video trailer that was shot on November 14 at The Roxy Theatre in West Hollywood, California, you can watch the video below. The first set of tickets are scheduled to go on sale on January 10.

The upcoming Van Halen album is scheduled to be released in 2012 and is the first with vocalist David Lee Roth since '1984' (released on the last day of 1983). Alter Bridge guitarist Mark Tremonti recently said in an interview that he had gotten an opportunity to hear NEW Van Halen music through his friendship with bassist Wolfgang Van Halen (guitarist Eddie Van Halen's son), saying it sounded like "vintage Van Halen."

"The whole Van Halen record has been recorded and we're all excited. I'm really stoked about it, as it is the original band, Eddie and Alex with Wolf playing bass, and David Lee Roth singing, it's the killing side of VAN HALEN at the top of their game again with Diamond Dave, and the band on fire." - Producer Ross Hogarth

David Lee Roth reunited with Van Halen in 2007 for a successful year-long reunion tour — minus original bassist Michael Anthony, who now plays with ex-Van Halen singer Sammy Hagar in Chickenfoot. Stay tuned for more details!
