Van Halen announced their return to the live stage with an 2012 North American tour. The announcement was made Thursday night, during a
once-in-a-lifetime performance, at the intimate Café Wha? in New York City. The World tour will begin their tour on Saturday, February 18th at the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Kentucky. Kool & The Gang (????) will join Van Halen for select tour dates, and from what I hear that will include the Louisville stop.
