Van Halen to Perform Live at the 1st Mariner Arena March 9

Van Halen will be performing live at the 1^st Mariner Arena on March 9 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.

Formerly the Baltimore Arena and the Baltimore Civic Center, 1^st Mariner Arena was renamed by 1^st Mariner Bank following their purchase of the naming rights of the arena, a purchase that will cost them $75,000 for the next ten years. 

The venue with a capacity of 13,000 is located on the corner of Baltimore Street and Hopkins Place, just one block away from the Baltimore Convention Center a short distance from the Inner Harbor.
