A lawyer for the rock group Van Halen says a breach-of-contract lawsuit against the Baltimore Orioles will go forward.
A federal judge last week denied the Orioles' motion for summary judgment. Howard King, who represents Van Halen, says a trial is "imminent."
The band contends in the suit filed in August 2004 that the Orioles wanted it perform the first-ever concert inside Camden Yards and then backed out of the deal.
The proposed deal would have paid Van Halen $1.5 million, plus 80 percent of ticket and merchandise sales.
