The crème de la crème of Dutch hard rock and metal join forces to pay Ronnie James Dio (1942-2010) a fitting tribute. During The Memorial Concert, all phases of the career of the little man with the great voice are highlighted. Therefore, 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 (Arjen Lucassen’s Ayreon & Supersonic Revolution / Praying Mantis) and Lisette van den Berg (Scarlet Stories / Ayreon), guitarist Ruud Jolie and keyboardist Martijn Spierenburg (both from Within Temptation), guitarist Menno Gootjes (Focus / Black Nazareth), bassist Johan van Stratum (Blind Guardian / VUUR / The Gentle Storm / Stream of Passion) and drummer Stef Broks (Textures).
