Anthony's official site announced that the theatre tour will feature the Mad Anthony Express, Los Tres Gusanos, The Other Half and Sammy and The Wabos.
Original plans for a Van Halen reunion tour this summer were put on hold when Eddie Van Halen entered rehab. At the time Eddie issued a statement explaining, "at the moment I do not feel that I can give you my best. That's why I have decided to enter a rehabilitation facility to work on myself, so that in the future I can deliver the 110 percent that I feel I owe you and want to give you." Looks like the treatment worked.
