Van Halen to Perform Live at the Arena at Gwinnett Center on February 25

Van Halen will be performing live at the Arena at Gwinnett Center on Monday February 25 at 7:30 pm.

A hard rock band from Pasadena California, Van Halen was formed in 1972 and released their self titled debut album in 1978.  The band sold over 80 million albums worldwide by the year 2007 and has had several number one hits on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart.

Although the Recording Industry Association of America reports that the band is the 19th best selling band of all time, with salves of over 56 million albums in the US, Van Halen may be better known for the dramatic exits of its former band members.  Sammy Hagar and David Lee Roth left the band several times and were constantly surrounded by controversy and mass press coverage.  Michael Anthony, the founding bassist, was recent kicked off of the band for controversial reasons.  Yet despite the band’s inner turmoil, Van Halen was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on March 12, 2007.

The Arena at Gwinnett Center is located in Duluth, GA, a suburb of Atlanta.  It is an indoor facility that includes a Performing Arts and a Convention center.  The venue seats 11,500 guests for hockey, 12, 750 for basketball and 13,100 for major concerts.
