Tuesday night, Van Halen will headline a show at Sprint Center. It will be the band’s second show in Kansas City in more than four years. Its previous show was also at Sprint Center, in October 2007. That tour was famous for reuniting lead singer David Lee Roth with the band for the first time in more than 20 years.
