The long anticipated return of Van Halen had been expected to launch with a series of dates Down Under in the fall.  Those plans have apparently fallen through.  The five city festival being planned for September and October has been scuttled, but there are conflicting accounts of why.  The dates would have been headlined by VH, with David Lee Roth fronting the group for the first time in four years.  Initial reports that Van Halen had pulled out have been denied by both the band and the promoters of the Soundwave Revolution festival.  An Australian radio station speculated that the dates fell through because a co-headliner, possibly Aerosmith, nixxed the dates - or ticket sales were sluggish.
