Van Halen concert tours
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A list of concert tours by hard rock band Van Halen.
Note that on all tours, the band's line-up has featured Eddie Van Halen and Alex Van Halen. Michael Anthony has played bass on all tours except the most recent one in 2007 where the role is being performed by Wolfgang Van Halen. However the vocalist has changed numerous times, hence the inclusion of a vocalist column in the table. Note the vocalist column gives dates for the span they toured with the band for - not how long they were in the band for.
Information on early concerts is less reliable, as is to be expected.
Note all tours undertaken by Van Halen went through the USA, with the exception of the Monsters of Rock Tour 1984. Hawaiian dates have been counted as American, due to its legal position as a state of the USA. The 2008 tour is ongoing; the list assumes scheduled shows will be played.
