Van Halen concert tours


A list of concert tours by hard rock band Van Halen.

That on all tours, the band's line-up has featured Eddie Van Halen and Alex Van Halen. Michael Anthony has played bass on all tours through 2004. Since 2007 Eddie's son Wolfgang Van Halen has played bass for the band. The vocalist has changed numerous times, hence the inclusion of a vocalist column in the table. The vocalist column gives dates for the span they toured with the band for - not how long they were in the band for.

Information on early concerts is less reliable, as is to be expected.

All tours undertaken by Van Halen went through the USA, with the exception of the Monsters of Rock Tour 1984. Hawaiian dates have been counted as American, due to its official position as a state of the USA.

The Heavyweight Champs Of Rock 'N Roll Tour of the USA in 2002 was not a Van Halen tour. It was a co-headlining tour by the two former Van Halen vocalists David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar. The tour has a connection to Van Halen, featuring numerous guest appearances by Van Halen's then-bassist Michael Anthony with Hagar on many dates on bass and backing vocals (and occasionally lead vocals), and one date where former Van Halen vocalist Gary Cherone joined the pair for a duet. Nor are Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony's tours as The Other Half (a play on them being "half" of the Van Halen line-up) where the two former members of the band would play Hagar-era Van Halen tunes together with a backing band.
