Even More Van Halen 2008 Tour Dates

11/27/07
. (antiMusic) Van Halen have made it official and announced even more dates for the second leg of their reunion tour (more dates then what we told you about yesterday). Here is the official word. In the midst of one of the most highly anticipated and successful tours of the year, Van Halen announces that they will extend their historic tour into 2008. Eddie, Alex, and Wolfgang Van Halen and David Lee Roth, together for the first time in 24 years, will kick off the New Year by extending their tour into 29 additional cities, kicking off with a January 22nd performance at Oklahoma City�s Ford Center and running through April 7th at Milwaukee, Wisconsin�s Bradley Center.

The 2007 tour has drawn over 600,000 fans thus far with sold out shows in dozens of cities across America, winning the praise of fans and critics alike. �From the first power chords of "You Really Got Me," the band hit a hard groove that didn't let up for the next two hours,� said the New York Daily News. �[Van Halen] filled the arena with hard rock energy rarely generated since, well, the band�s previous forays,� noted USA Today. The Hollywood Reporter said: �For one perfect night�Van Halen was nothing short of spectacular.�
