Ronnie James Dio – The Memorial Concert

The concert features band members from Within Temptation, Ayreon, Blind Guardian, VUUR, Stream of Passion, Praying Mantis, Focus and Textures

The top of Dutch hard rock and metal join forces to pay Ronnie James Dio a fitting tribute. On May 16, 2020, it was already ten years ago that the little man with the big voice passed away. During The Memorial Concert, all phases of his career are highlighted. So count on many classics from Rainbow, Black Sabbath and the band Dio, but surprising choices will also be made from the extensive repertoire to which Ronnie James Dio has lent his voice.

The star line-up during this special evening consists of vocalists John JayCee Cuijpers (Ayreon, Praying Mantis) and Lisette van den Berg (Scarlet Stories, Ayreon), guitarist Ruud Jolie and keyboardist Martijn Spierenburg (both from Within Temptation), the originally hard rock guitarist. Menno Gootjes (Focus, Black Nazareth), bassist Johan van Stratum (Blind Guardian, Ayreon, VUUR, The Gentle Storm, Stream of Passion) and drummer Stef Broks (Textures).

Long Live Rock 'n' Roll… Long Live Ronnie James Dio!
