DIO RULES is a powerful live concert experience celebrating the music and legacy of Ronnie James Dio, one of the most influential voices in the history of hard rock and heavy metal. Between 1975 and 1985, Dio fronted three of rock's most legendary bands—Rainbow,Black Sabbath and Dio—creatingan extraordinary decade of music that defined the genre and continues to inspire generations of fans. From “Man on the Silver Mountain” and “Heaven and Hell” to “Holy Diver” and “Rainbow in the Dark”, these songs remain staples of rock radio, film and pop culture.
The band features Andrew Freeman, the powerhouse vocalist personally selected by the original members of DIO to front Last in Line, alongside acclaimed guitarist Angus Clark (Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Joe Lynn Turner) and drummer Matt Starr (Ace Frehley, Mr. Big, Kix). A portion of every ticket sold benefits the Ronnie James Dio Stand Up And Shout Cancer Fund, the charity founded in Ronnie James Dio's name to help fight the disease that took his life.
