Anyone who was in New York’s Times Square for New Year’s Eve – and those watching one of the TV broadcasts – would have seen a large Van Halen billboard promoting the band’s new album.
The train image, with the VHII-era logo, was displayed prominently near one of the live music stages in the square.
The VH graphic was be televised on the ABC electronic billboard between 9 and 10pm (eastern) and the Clear Channel electronic billboard between 10 and 11 pm.
VH fans eagerly wait news of the first series of 2012 concert dates, which the band will be announcing on Tuesday, with tickets going on sale January 10.
The group’s first album with David Lee Roth in 28 years will be released on February 7.
