Official Van Halen iron-on patch – World Tour 1978, inspired by the band's very first world tour.

Van Halen World Tour 1978: back to where it all began

This Van Halen World Tour 1978 patch goes straight back to the year that transformed the band's career. Set against black, the famous winged VH logo dominates the design, surrounded by the words World Tour, 1978 and Van Halen.

The gold edging and metallic-looking details give the artwork a distinctly seventies appearance. Measuring 9 x 10 cm, the patch features a cut-out shape that follows the design rather than using a conventional rectangular format.

1978: Van Halen hits the road

The date is much more than a decorative detail: 1978 marked Van Halen's first world tour, launched in support of their debut album. The band moved beyond the California club circuit to perform across North America, Europe and Japan.

Early dates saw Van Halen sharing bills with Journey and Montrose, before the band famously opened numerous shows for Black Sabbath. It was a remarkable introduction to international audiences for a band whose debut album had just unleashed tracks including Runnin' with the Devil, Jamie’s Cryin’ and Eddie Van Halen's instrumental showcase Eruption.

A patch celebrating early Van Halen

Rather than simply reproducing the classic logo, this patch connects it to a pivotal year in Van Halen history. Its combination of black, gold and metallic-looking details also gives it a distinctive appearance compared with more traditional black-and-white VH patches.
