Reno would have been a bad tour date... nothing but retirees and ear plugs. I went to Dave's solo gig in Reno - pretty sad audience.

Reno was 90 percent sold and the tickets went on sale on Monday. I was at that Roth show also. The crowd did suck but it wasn't promoted well. The VH Reno show sold out in 08. Reno has a good turn out and solid crowds when good acts come through.

Matt Bruck is claiming VH is playing a gig at the XXX Olympiad in London this summer ---- FUCKING BIGGER GIG THAN THE SUPER BOWL ?!?!?

This will probably be a troll

[VHscraps]

+1

The main olympic gig, at Hyde Park, is already set up.

Duran Duran are headlining the gig for the opening day and Blur are performing the closing gig.

But...

On the other hand ... Maybe Alex's kid has been selected for the Olympics, and the old man wants to be there.

Seriously, I did a VH google search recently and first up was news about Aric Van Halen posting the fastest times in his sport in the Olympic Trials - I think he's a Steeplechaser, or something.

That would seem to me to be the kind of reason VH would have for saying - 'hey, why not just do Europe now'

Fox Sports news - Colorado honors Van Halen relative:

"Aric Van Halen ran the sixth best 3,000-meter steeplechase time in the nation with a finishing time of 8:42.79 on April 19 ... The Los Angeles native finished third in the Olympic development elite section, running the fastest time by a Colorado student since Billy Nelson in 2008. His previous personal record was 8:52.53, which he ran in 2011.

Van Halen, 22, is the son of Van Halen drummer Alex Van Halen and the nephew of guitarist Eddie Van Halen."

If he is going to the Olympics, and I was his old man, I'd wanna be there ...

That makes more sense than them Playing the Olympics , am Guessing Olympic squads arnt selected to far in advance of the actual games .... So the short notice makes sense but it's a lots of gigs for one little event ?

Interesting. I knew his son was some type of college athlete. Good for him for pursuing his own dreams and not doing music and good for Alex for letting him do his thing. Hope the kid goes & does well.
