Van Halen finally announced the dates for their upcoming 2012 tour in support of the new, soon to be released Van Halen album.
Prior to announcing the 2012 tour dates, the guys of Van Halen rocked the Cafe Wha? in New York City for an intimate show where David Lee Roth, Eddie Van Halen, son Wolfgang, and drummer Alex Van Halen performed for the 250 capacity crowd. At the Cafe Wha?, Van Halen belted out hits from their self-titled first album, the follow-up Van Halen II, and hits songs from the final David Lee Roth album 1984, which included “Panama” and “Jump,” which the band ended the NYC with on Thursday.
