The Pasadena, Calif.-based hard rock band Van Halen on Thursday abruptly postponed more than 30 concert tour dates, following their June 26 concert in New Orleans, according to MTV.

The band gave neither explanation nor any word on refund or rescheduled dates of the postponed performances. The tickets to their postponed concerts are still on sale on Ticketmaster. 

The cancelled city dates include Milwaukee, Detroit, Salt Lake City, Cleveland, and El Paso. Thirteen shows, including Saturday’s concert in St. Paul, Minn., will take place as scheduled. 

No word has been said about the tour and the cancellation on the band’s website, Twitter page, and Facebook page. 

The four-member band, formed in 1974, is on tour to promote its new album, “A Different Kind of Truth,” the first complete album with original lead singer David Lee Roth since its last “1984.” “1984” was released on New Year’s Eve of 1983.
