The Monsters of Rock Tour 1988 was a festival tour of the USA in 1988, headlined by hard rock band Van Halen as part of their promotion for their OU812 album. It formed the first section of the OU812 Tour, the main part of which followed immediately after Monsters of Rock 1988. As one of the many well known Monsters of Rock tours, the tour featured an impressive line-up, especially for a single day event, and proved very popular.
Being a large scale event with multiple acts, there was a long gap between many dates when the band's gear was transported and set up.
This tour was the first to include acoustic work by Sammy Hagar, unaided by the rest of the band. It would become a regular feature for the rest of Hagar's Van Halen tenure.
