Van Halen postpones
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Reformed rock behemoth Van Halen, which recently played at Philips Arena, has postponed Monday’s date at Gwinnett Arena. The band’s show scheduled for the John Paul Jones Arena in Charlottesville, Va., has also been postponed. No word as to the reason behind the show delays, but we’ll post it here as soon as we know.
Promoter Live Nation says that tickets for the February 25 event will be honored for the rescheduled Gwinnett event, but ticket refunds will be available at the original point of purchase.
