Van Halen's 2012 tour will feature David Lee Roth on lead vocals. The Van Halen tour has been in the works for quite some time. Over the course of the tour's four months, Van Halen will perform 45 shows across the United States and Canada. While most markets will host the American rock icons for just one night, Van Halen will return to New York City for a February 28 and March 1 stand at Madison Square Garden. In late December, Van Halen teased its upcoming tour with a series of video montages on the band's official Web site. Van Halen, one of the most influential rock bands of all time, announce their return to the live stage with an extraordinary 2012 North American tour beginning on February 18, 2012. Kool & The Gang will join Van Halen for select tour dates. In addition, Van Halen’s new album, “A Different Kind Of Truth,” will be released in the U.S. by Interscope Records on February 7.
