Might As Well Jump Drive to San Jose or Sac-Town: Van Halen's Coming

Van Halen held a press conference today to unveil specifics of the band's upcoming national tour. This is the first time in 22 years that "Diamond" David Lee Roth will be performing on such a tour with the band. The tour starts in September, but won't won't be anywhere close to San Francisco until November, so crossing our fingers that, um, Roth will still be with the band at that point.

Or, hey, maybe they'll replace him with local dude Sammy Hagar by the time they get to Sacramento.

In any case, the local tour dates are Nov. 27, Sacramento, at the Arco Arena, then Nov. 29 in San Jose, at the HP Pavilion. Tickets go on sale this Saturday and can be bought here.
