Van Halen to Perform Live at the GIANT Center on March 19

Van Halen will be performing live at the GIANT Center in Hershey, Pennsylvania on March 19 at 8:00 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 Giant Center is located in Hershey, Pennsylvania. It seas 12, 500 guests and serves as a multi-purpose arena and the home of the Hershey Bears, an ice hockey team in the AHL, replacing Hersheypark Arena, the Bears’ previous residence.

Since its opening the Giant Center has welcomed the likes of Cher, 50 Cent, Trans-Siberian Orchestra and the Drew Carey Comedy Tour. The center has also seen several professional ice shows, family events, and special attractions such as the Ringling Bros and Barnum and Bailey Circus, the Harlem Globtrotters, Disney on ice, Stars on ice and the Blue Man Group.
