VAN HALEN's official website (www.Van-Halen.com) has been updated with a new design and a new press shot of the reunited lineup. Also, VAN HALEN's upcoming tour launched with impressive on-sales last week, surely easing the minds of some promoters who ponied up artist guarantees of $750,000 to $1 million. Band manager Irving Azoff would not confirm the figures. An on-again, off-again rumor for much of the first part of this year, the Van Halen reunion with SAMMY HAGAR on vocals is now shaping up as a solid top 25 tour for 2004. The tour opens June 11th in Greensboro, N.C., at the Greensboro Coliseum. "I knew it would blow out," Azoff says. "Van Halen is rocking." Azoff says the tour will ultimately consist of four legs of 22 shows each. In addition, Van Halen will release a new collection, Best Of Volume 2, in early June. Tracks under consideration for the set include: 'You Really Got Me', 'Ice Cream Man', 'Beautiful Girls', 'Everybody Wants Some', 'Mean Street', 'So This Is Love', 'I'll Wait', 'Hot For Teacher', 'Best Of Both Worlds', 'Love Walks In', 'Summer Nights', 'Finish What Ya Started', 'Black And Blue', 'Runaround' and 'Top Of The World'. Also under consideration are the two Gary Cherone era tracks 'Without You' and 'Fire In The Hole'. Please note that this is not the final track listing.
