Van Halen: ‘Might As Well Tour’ Tour Dates Official [VIDEO]

THE most anticipated tour of 2012, possibly of the decade is Van Halen- and the tour dates are official. Tickets go on sale January 14^th through Ticketmaster and Live Nation. The boys will swing through Minnesota with a stop at the X on Saturday night, May 19th.

As we all know they have a helluva sense of humor, as evidenced in their choice of a supporting act on selected dates: Kool and the Gang. Now that’s a DLR idea if I ever heard of one.

They gave fans a taste of the tour last night (Thursday 1/5) in the intimate club setting of legendary Club Wha in NYC's Greenwich Village. Some celebs on hand included Jimmy Fallon and John McEnroe.

The set list consisted of mostly their debut effort with a few selections from 1984.
The video below is kind of crappy- but hell it outta hold us off till some better footage surfaces when they begin their tour.

'Tattoo', their first single and video will debut Tuesday- the new album, ‘A Different Kind Of Truth’ hits February 7^th.
