Van Halen will be at the Dunkin Donuts Center in Providence, Rhode Island on Sunday, May 25 at 7:30 pm. The group will play next at the Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester, New Hampshire on May 28.
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.
