Van Halen Australian Tour 2013 Looks Likely
Written by Kiel Egging on 30th January, 2013

This might just be the one – Van Halen‘s much mooted (and now long overdue) Australian tour now has a good chance of happening in the middle of this year. Triple M reporter and Herald Sun journalist Nui Te Koha believes a local promoter is chasing the 70s rock icons for a tour to fit in around dates they have booked in Japan from May onwards.

“They’ve got some dates in Japan in May, June, July and I know that one promoter is chasing this tour. It’s pretty firm at this stage,” he said.

Van Halen were originally going to play dates in Japan in November last year, but had to cancel the shows after Eddie Van Halen had to undergo colon surgery. According to the Van Halen News Desk, they’ll be playing rescheduled shows on 21st June in Tokyo and the 24th and 26th June in Osaka.

So early June or early July would probably be the best bet for an Australian visit, based on those dates.

Rumours are also flying that the tour will feature both of the band’s frontmen from across their lengthy career – David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar. Hagar replaced David Lee Roth as vocalist in 1985, before parting ways with the band in 1996. Hagar then rejoined the group for two years in 2003 to tour a best-of record.

Van Halen fans have put up with an agonising wait to get the band firmly on our shores for some shows. They were originally scheduled to headline the ill-fated Soundwave Revolution festival in 2011, before AJ Maddah cancelled the whole festival. The band were very close to coming last year, but cancelled on a local promoter just as the tour was getting finalised.

Stick with Music Feeds to see whether this year will finally, finally be Australia’s turn.

You had me up until the "both frontmen" part. :handjob:

Completely agree....

You could give me VIP passes, a meet and greet, and front row seats.....

I will not go to that....

I can't seen them going through all the trouble for only the 3 Japan shows, so I'm guessing there will be more shows somewhere.

They should do Australia after they dangled the bait [twice, was it?].

yeah... no.

I think the prudent thing to do is wait until someone officially debunks this....

I simply cannot imagine that Dave would EVER agree to this....

agree Va. these 'journalists' need something to publish; even if it's total bullshit speculation.

This sounds like some bullshit the Tasmanian Devil would come up with, which 99% of the time is pure bullshit. I have a hard time believing that Ed would work with Sammy again after all of the shit he said about him in his book. Besides, Dave and Ed are getting along better than they ever have and I don't think he wants to mess that up by bringing the Red Clown into the picture.

They'd have to trade off every other song JUST to keep the beer garden from filling up during Spammy's set...

I have to admit the very thought of it, is like....

Just think about it, wouldn't it be epic to see Dave's songs completley destroy Sammy's songs?


I'm an optimist, BITE ME.

No. FUCK NO!!!

Just fucking no!

Please direct me to the twat who came up with this bullshit. I wanna bash his skull in.

I'm calling bullshit on this bullshit...


:elvis:

Eddie did say there was a big surprise coming in 2013 that he couldn't talk about yet, at the time of the Esquire magazine article.

This would be a big surprise allright. But not the one I wanted, more of a freaking nightmare. Most certainly bullshit coming from Australia.

Van Halen really outta sue the shit outta these jerk-off fuckwads down under that start all these horseshit lies, especially Melodicrock. I fuckin' hate that goof.

How about meet and punch someone in the face passes? I'd go with one a those.

Yeah, it ain't goin' down like this. No way. Ed said that era has "gone off to college". It's up to the faithful to make sure that shit never graduates.

COMPLETE DOGSHIT !!


No way in hell that Cabo Cunt is touring with Dave or Ed again. Besides the lingering bad blood from the '04 tour and that retarded book, it makes no financial sense. They've already had 2 very profitable tours with Dave so that's 100% proof there's no market demand for Van Hagar tunes being played live.

It's actually a surefire way to decrease everyone's profit margins by adding a fucking dead weight like Haggis because he won't help raise ticket prices and he sure as hell won't make them big enough to sell out football stadiums like U2 or Madonna. No one is going to take one for the team like Haggis did for Sobolewski on the 2004 tour.

The only far-out idea of why this would happen is if Dave found out he had vocal cord nodules and his doctor told him he couldn't sing more than 45 minutes per night --- then EVH might twist his arm and let Haggis join the tour so it could be a complete 2-hr. show every night and they can charge full ticket prices. However, I'd think Dave wouldn't even tour if he had some health problem like that.

"Ched's dead baby, Ched's dead"

I actually would tolerate Haggis touring with VH under ONE CONDITION ONLY --- Mike Anthony also joins so we can see the ORIGINAL Van Halen one more time.

Hopefully, the Roth-era set would happen first so I can head for the exits when Cabo Cunt takes the stage --- gotta beat traffic!


:cheer:

OH FUCK --- maybe this Haggis reunion might actually be happening?

Listen to what Sobolewski says at 1:22

Guys....that is a standard ploy by some hack journalist.

Just make the statement "Rumours say...." and then make up whatever you fucking want.

Here is where the non-communication of Howdy Doody Mountain is beneficial.

Reporter says what?


The sistaz don't say shit....and it fades away.....


That is just bullshit.

Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony...the 2013 "Cruisin' and Boozin'" tour...

No way Sam and Mike come back. That would mean Ed has to push Wolfgang aside, and I really don't see him doing that.

Yeah, 'cause you know that Sammy isn't going to do it unless his "other half" is involved.

ESQ: What are you going to do with all the material that you wrote with Sammy Hagar?

EVH: Oh, I hadn't thought about that. That's some great music. They're just on vacation, maybe. They're off to college and they're going their own way. Who knows?



I'm starting to think that the Hagar era just graduated from community college, couldn't find work and crashed back at Mom and Dad's house.

Yes it WAS epic when I saw it on the 2002 Sam & Dave tour.

ok market research done.

vh with wolf and dave = sell out multiple arenas.

vh with the spam included = nobody shows up; even at the rooty hill rsl club. (except the old ladies who play bingo, and buy meat raffle tickets)

Where exactly are these "rumors" flying?.Anyone here heard that once?.I would have thought if this was anything other than made up bullshit someone here would have heard something about it

Out of a promoter's ass...

:gulp:

I don't know about that. Hearing Sam is on the bill would probably scare most people away. The only people that would be attracted to Sam would be the same people who go to see Richard Simmons weight loss/inspirational speaking seminars.

I call bullshit......

Look, poll every CVH/DLR site on the planet, YES 99.94% will say FUCK NO I aint going....

But that's like when MSNBC or FAUX NOIZE does a poll, they're preaching to the choir....

Fact of the matter is, as much as WE hate to hear it, but the majority of the people shelling out the money for a show like this frankly aren't as RELIGIOUS about who is singing as we are....especially outside of the US.

Market it as Hey, You get to hear ALL of the hits, AND see the original lineup for a set.....and people by and large will flock.

:gulp:

Don't shoot the messenger.....I'm right.

WE may despise the notion, but we're less than 0.0000095% of the people that would attend this tour.

You just pretty much explained why the world has turned to shit.

Riiiight......

Global warming, genocide, corrupt banking systems, over-population......

:gulp:

It's a classic rock tour that will fuck the place up.......

:facepalm:

If you want to thin the population play When Love Comes Walking In on loudspeakers in every major city around the world and believe me, a good percentage of the people will drop dead. If you want to fix global warming kill Sam. His mouth is where all the hot air is coming from.

Tell that to Clearchannel.....

:gulp:

I hate the shit too.....but me and 50 of my online DLR poster buddies boycotting a tour with Spambo on it scares the promoters exactly not in the least....
