Van Halen's music is the most recent update on the "Rock Band 4" song list.
Harmonix has confirmed that Van Halen will be part of the "Rock Band 4" song list. This is the first time for the franchise to feature tracks by the rock band. Their 1984 hit "Panama" will be available at launch as a playable song.
