Van Halen Rumoured To Tour With Classic Line-up In 2019

Van Halen are rumoured to reunite its classic line-up and embark on a huge stadium tour in 2019. 

As Consequence Of Sound reports, speculation is mounting that David Lee Roth, Michael Anthony, Eddie Van Halen and Alex Van Halen will return to the stage for their first shows together since September 1984.

It comes on the back of a recent interview Roth did with Vulture, where he teased something big is in the works. 

"...  You know, next time my rock band will be playing the same place that the [New York] Yankees play. Okay?”

When asked if he was referring to the famous Yankee Stadium, the frontman responded, “Yeah, but I can’t… If I say something on tape here and everybody goes, ‘Oh, this leaked…’ But, the band will be — I can’t say.”

Meanwhile, Sirius XM Radio's Eddie Trunk also fueled the rumours during his show last week and specifically mentioned bassist Michael Anthony who left the band in 2006. 

“I hesitate to even talk about this because every year there’s some rumor about Van Halen about to do something or announce something, and ultimately it just doesn’t happen,” Trunk said.

“But, a little more so than normal as we close out 2018, I’m starting to hear some rumblings.

“The rumors from reliable sources — but still rumors that are unconfirmed — is that the band will tour in 2019 with the original band, which would mean the return of Michael, and that it’s gonna be some sort of stadium package.”
