One voice. Three legendary bands. One unforgettable decade of rock.

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 — creating and 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.

Performed by an all-star lineup of world class musicians, DIO RULES delivers this iconic catalog with the power and authenticity it demands. 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).

The result is a 90-minute concert event celebrating one of rock’s greatest voices and the music that defined a generation.

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.
