In the midst of one of the most highly anticipated and successful tours of the year, rock legends Van Halen have decided to further extend their current tour into 2008.

Eddie Van Halen, David Lee Roth, and Alex Van Halen, together for the first time in 22 years, along with Eddie's drummer son Wolfgang Van Halen, will kick off the New Year by extending their tour into 28 additional cities, beginning with a Jan. 22 performance at the Ford Center in Oklahoma City, OK. Earlier this month, the band had announced the first five dates and are now extending the trek through April 7 at Bradley Center in Milwaukee, WI.

The current tour has consistently ranked among the best-selling concerts this year, according to TicketNews’ exclusive weekly listing.

And, even more concerts are expected to be scheduled, according to the band. The 2007 tour, promoted by Live Nation, has drawn more than 600,000 fans to date.
