VAN HALEN to play Europe before the end of 2013...NOT YET

 updated March 13

Finally...

VAN HALEN TO PLAY EUROPE...


Well , NOT YET :
According to Billboard.com, Irving Azoff, manager for VAN HALEN founders Alex and Eddie Van Halen and bassist Wolfgang Van Halen, has dismissed as incorrect reports that the band will tour Europe beginning late this year.
Azoff begs to differ. "All the announced dates, which include the date in Australia, the dates in Japan and a date in Wisconsin, are confirmed and on sale and those are real," Azoff tells Billboard.com exclusively. "I manage the Van Halens, and I know nothing about any European tour."

THANKS DAVE FOR THIS ONE !!!

Between 50 to 60 shows outside the USA starting at the end of this year.

New video "Tattoo"

Well... They've played a 'new song' @ Café Wha? called "She 's the woman" that is in fact a song they recorded as a demo in 1976 and NOW the new single "Tattoo" sounds like a song they never recorded but that they were playing in 1977 called "Down in Flames" .
It look like Sammy hagar was right when he told Rolling Stone Mag that "they didn't actually write new songs. They took old stuff from previous sessions, I mean stuff from before I even joined the band"
