Van Halen -- who have put aside egos, family turmoil, substance abuse and other issues to stage one of the more successful concert tours of the year -- will play a show April 7 at the Bradley Center.

An official announcement hasn't been made by the Bradley Center, but the date was reported on the band's official Web site, van-halen.com, and on pollstar.com, a site dedicated to the concert industry.

Van Halen brothers Eddie and Alex reunited with David Lee Roth for the first time in 22 years and are playing with Eddie's son, Wolfgang, playing bass.

Ticket information for the show has not been announced, but prices for a show in Portland were listed between $49.50 and $125.

Children, children ... so naive. We all know the greatest American band was the Mothers of Invention, led by Frank Zappa. :-)

Saw the show in Chicago a couple months ago (figured this thing would explode about 3 shows in). It was awesome. With Diamond Dave at the helm, the best American rock band - ever.
