Post date March 10, 2008

Fress off the wire comes news that is not terribly surprising: Van Halen will be rescheduling 17 more dates on the 2008 tour. This leaves them off the road through…Vegas. Seems a good place to pick things back up again:

The band plans to return to the road on April 19 in Las Vegas where it will appear at pro golfer Tiger Woods’ annual charity event, “Tiger Jam.”

…The cities affected by the rescheduling are Charlottesville, Va., East Rutherford, N.J., New York, N.Y., Duluth, Ga., Pittsburgh, Pa., Providence, R.I., Uncasville, Conn., Atlantic City, N.J., St. Louis, Mo, Columbus, Ohio, Rosemont, Ill., Grand Rapids, Mich., Milwaukee, Wis., Manchester, N.H., Hershey, Pa, Raleigh, N.C., and Baltimore, Md

New dates TBA.

HEADS UP
Rocklahoma Festival @ A Field In Pryor, Oklahoma
Thu 7/10 – Sun 7/13

With all the announcements last week we unfortunately let one festival slip through the cracks. The 2008 Rocklahoma Festival will take place in a field outside Pryor, Oklahoma from July 10-13. Acts currently slated to perform include Bret Michaels, Kix, Warrant, Tesla, Cinderella, Triumph (not the wonder dog) and several TBAs.

The festival is already on the official Pryor Chamber of Commerce Events Calendar, but must wait its turn following Good Friday, Easter Sunday, Rotary Pancake Breakfast, Bikelahoma, Big Bass Tournament, Mother’s Day and High School Graduation.

Google advises the drive from Los Angeles to Pryor may take as long as 20 hours, 55 minutes with freeways; 1 day 9 hours without. See you at the show.
