Rock icons Van Halen are to headline the 2012 Grammy Awards.

Fans have been waiting for the group, led by Eddie Van Halen and David Lee Roth, to reveal details of a reunion tour - and it looks like it will begin with a performance at music's biggest night in February.

The official announcement will come during the Grammy Nominations Concert Live event on 30 November in Los Angeles.

Van Halen's first album of new material in 27 years to feature original singer Lee Roth is expected to arrive early next year.
