[QUOTE=VanHalener;1541316]I love Australia.
Hope you cats have a fooking kick arse time and rock your guts out!

Thanks and we will - after a beer or two or three or ten......

If the dates are in september that means they would start rehearsals at least 60 days in advance that puts it in july so we are looking at new music soon. Somebody somewhere will hear the new music and put it at there .
Setlist anyone

I would not rule out some live dates in the US before they leave for Australia. Late August-early September? Or is that not possible?

I think the setlist will include 2 or 3 new tunes and 2 or 3 classics not played on the last tour.

I like how the promoters are letting everyone know it's Van Halen with David Lee Roth. Unlike the US, Australian radio does not play much CVH and a Dave-fronted VH has NEVER played here. There is a strong, core CVH fan base Down Under and a lot of young people who like classic hard rock are discovering the CVH era. But I suspect that most of the general hard rock audience in Australia was not aware that Dave is back. The announcement is already generating a lot of excitement here. I've had friends call me who are not big VH fans to say they are definately going because it's Dave-VH.

COMING TO A CITY NEAR YOU AUSSIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh..and opening tune will be " Hot for Teacher"

[Fairwrning]

Put this show on the road already. One of the greatest shows Ive ever seen was GNR before the illusion albums were released. Its an added bonus to hear brand new tunes BEFORE they are made public.Makes those bucks you pay for tix a bit more reasonable.

[SunisinuS]

Actually, even in the "good ol' days" it was not completely unusual for a band on the verge of debuting a new release to play a few shows here and there prior to said release. Generates interest at home and abroad...

How do you know they haven't?

Remember Dave is leader of this band again. I would not even discount a Cinco de Mayo encounter.....but I will state: No Tequila was served.
