It was 30 years ago this week (May 29th, 1983), that VAN HALEN headlined the US Festival at Glen Helen Regional Park in San Bernardino, CA. Van Halen performed on Heavy Metal Day as headliners (along with SCORPIONS, JUDAS PRIEST, OZZY OSBOURNE, TRIUMPH, MÖTLEY CRÜE, QUIET RIOT) for the record-setting fee of $1.5 million. The 1984 Guinness Book of World Records created a new category based upon the price of this performance.
