Van Halen wrapped up the first leg of their “A Different Kind Of Truth” tour Tuesday night in New Orleans.
After the show, bassist Wolfgang Van Halen tweeted a photo (see above) and added, “Thanks everyone for such an incredible tour! It’s been a wonderful experience. You guys are the best! #grateful”
Van Halen’s 2012 live shows began with an invite-only performance at the legendary Café Wha? in New York in January, followed by a similarly intimate gig in Los Angeles in early February.
After the band’s traditional warm-up show for friends and family in L.A., Van Halen opened up the “A Different Kind Of Truth” tour in Louisville, Kentucky on February 18.
The group is now taking a summer break before playing a series of shows in Japan in November.
There’s also a buzz in the sports community that Van Halen could be on tap to play Super Bowl 47 next year in New Orleans.
