Van Halen announces massive 2012 tour, coming to Greensboro

As expected, rock stars Van Halen are hitting the road on a big U.S. tour this year after releasing their first new album with frontman David Lee Roth since 1984 (released in the same year). The new release titled A Different Kind of Truth will be out on February 7.

The tour will stop at the Greensboro Coliseum on Saturday, April 21. Ticket info is not available yet, but tickets for some shows on the tour will go on sale on January 10. We'll keep you posted when the info is available.

Check out an odd little teaser trailer for the tour that features the songs "Jump," "Panama" and "Hot For Teacher" below.
