Contrary to a report on this page Thursday and on page F24 of today's Scene section, Van Halen tickets will not go on sale Saturday morning. A news release from Ticketmaster announced that the band would be returning to the Twin Cities for a show in May.
However, details of Van Halen's tour have yet to be finalized, a spokesman for promoter Live Nation said Thursday. Last year's reunion of original singer David Lee Roth with Van Halen was one of the big stories in rock music. Even though Roth and Eddie Van Halen had been estranged for 23 years, the band's instantly sold-out concert at Target Center in October was outstanding.
Van Halen tour dates have been announced through early April, and the tour is expected to be extended.
