Van Halen coming to Spokane August 21st | Arts & Culture

If a giant guitar cookie wasn't a smoking gun indicator of a surprise concert this August, maybe the Spokane Arena employees dressed a la 80s was bigger hint. 

It was being kept a secret until today. Spokane Arena sent out a press release earlier this week that someone big was coming to Spokane. 

Sound the air guitars. Van Halen is slated for an August 21st performance along with David Lee Roth. A fancy press conference was held Friday morning to announce the concert. It was so fancy, members of the media were given one-time press badges.

We didn't eat the cookies displayed on the tables, but we wondered what kind they were.

Tickets go on sale May 19th at 10 a.m. online at TicketsWest.
