The Stone Music Festival was inspired by a cult '70s
biker film named "Stone". Released in 1974, the exploitation movie
starred Ken Shorter as an undercover cop assigned to discover who is murdering
members of an outlaw biker gang named the Gravediggers.
VAN HALEN had not been seen on a stage since last spring,
but along with a handful of Japanese dates and the Australian gig, the band
recently confirmed its first U.S. show of 2013. The Van Halen clan and David
Lee Roth will close out the annual Rock USA festival, scheduled for July 17
through July 20 in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
VAN HALEN backed out of 31 North American dates last
summer, citing exhaustion, and then Eddie Van Halen was sidelined for
four-to-six months after undergoing surgery for the inflammatory intestinal
affliction diverticulitis.
Roth recently gave an interview to Rolling Stone in which
he expressed his desire to work on fresh material with Eddie Van Halen and tour
outside the U.S., saying, "We have an audience and we have a potential future
in many, many places . . . I don't know where the VAN HALEN future lies aside
from the States."
