The Van Halen 2015 Tour was the final concert tour by the American hard rock band Van Halen in support of the group's live album, Tokyo Dome Live in Concert, recorded during the band's previous tour. The band toured the United States and Canada during the summer and fall of 2015. It was the final tour the band performed prior to the death of Eddie Van Halen in 2020.
History On March 24, 2015, the official Van Halen website was updated to announce a concert tour to take place during the summer and fall of 2015, primarily in outdoor venues. The band also announced that they would be performing on television for the first time, with performances on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on March 30, and on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on April 2.
The Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band served as the opening act for all dates except for the September 19 show in Atlanta, Georgia.
The tour ultimately grossed $26 million, covering 39 cities and 41 shows.
