Shinedown Psyched To Open For Van Halen

Billboard reports that thanks in part to the success of their single ’45’, Shinedown have been tapped by Van Halen as its opener for the second leg of its summer tour. “We’re blown away. We still can’t believe it,” frontman Brent Smith says of scoring the Van Halen outing, which begins July 19 in Chicago. “We’re going to give the audience hell and make sure they’re ready for [Van Halen].”
