LOS ANGELES , Aug. 21 (UPI) -- Fans are snatching up tickets to see David Lee Roth and Van Halen in concert for the first time in 22 years, promoters of the band’s North American tour say.

Tickets went on sale and quickly disappeared this weekend, resulting in immediate sell-outs in Charlotte, N.C., Detroit, Toronto, Chicago and Philadelphia.

Tour producer Live Nation said in a statement it immediately added additional shows in Philadelphia and Detroit, tickets for which go on sale Saturday.

An additional stop was also scheduled for Washington's Verizon Center extending Van Halen's trek to 29 dates.

Tickets for the Washington date will go on sale Friday.

Formed in Los Angeles in 1974 and inducted into the Rock 'N Roll Hall of Fame in March of this year, the band is known for hits like "Running with the Devil," "Jamie's Cryin'," "You Really Got Me," "Dance the Night Away," "Everybody Wants Some," "Beautiful Girls," "Somebody Get Me A Doctor," "Jump," "Panama" and "Hot For Teacher."
