Van Halen
will be performing live at the Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester on March 11 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.
An indoor event arena in Manchester, New Hampshire,
the Verizon Wirless Arena seats over 10,000 for hockey and 11,000 for
basketball and concerts. The facility is
the home of the Manchester Monarchs of the American Hockey League and the Manchester
Wolves of the af2. The venue sometimes
hosts the men’s hockey teams of the University
of New Hampshire, Dartmouth College
as well as previously hosted the 2005 AHL All Star Game, the WWE Backlash in
2005 and the NCAA Frozen Four Regional tournament in 2006. Senator Barack Obama and Ophrah Winfrey also
appeared at the arena in December 2007 for a campaign rally that drew over
8,000 people.
