1982/1983 Van Halen Tour Dates
Diver Down Tour (1982-1983)
The Hide Your Sheep tour sold out all 80 of its US concerts during an industry wide slump in concert ticket sales. It was the largest production ever taken on the road at that time, with 1.4 million watts of light, 10,000 watts of sound and 170 tons of equipment. Three shows (**) had to be rescheduled after Edward accidentally fractured his wrist.
