    Default Tony Iommi Announces Tribute Gig

    from Iommi.com


    14th June 2010

    “The Devil You Know” won Best Album at the Metal Hammer Awards this evening. While accepting the award on behalf of Heaven and Hell, Tony Iommi announced they would be performing a tribute to Ronnie James Dio at the High Voltage Festival next month (Saturday 24th July). Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Vinny Appice will take to the stage with guest singers and perform a 60 minute set of songs in memory of the band’s lead singer who sadly lost his fight against stomach cancer last month. Proceeds from their performance will be going to the Ronnie James Dio “Stand Up and Shout” Cancer Fund (www.ronniejamesdio.com).

    Totally excited for this! Cannot wait!

    I really hope that Halford is on a couple tracks. Would be really cool if they played the whole entire Heaven and Hell album. I mean, that's only eight tracks and forty minutes. There would still be plenty of time for Mob Rules, Dehumanizer and TDYK tracks.
