According to U.K.'s Classic Rock magazine, two major concerts are being planned to celebrate the life of the late Ronnie James Dio.
The gigs — dubbed Ronnie James Dio "Stand Up And Shout" Memorial Concerts — will take place in London and Los Angeles in the fall.
Although no official details have yet been revealed, there is speculation that the shows will feature the surviving members of HEAVEN & HELL — Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Vinny Appice — with JUDAS PRIEST's Rob Halford filling in for Dio on vocals. However, it should be stressed that this information has not yet been corroborated by an official source and should be treated as a rumor only.
QUEENSRŸCHE has scheduled the following Queensrÿche Cabaret dates:
Jul. 22 - Anaheim, California - The Grove Jul. 23 - Los Angeles, California - Club Nokia Jul. 24 - Las Vegas, Nevada - Crown Theater Jul. 25 - San Francisco, California - Regency Ballroom Aug. 05 - New Orleans, Louisiana - House Of Blues Aug. 06 - Houston, Texas - House Of Blues Aug. 07 - San Antonio, Texas - Backstage Live Aug. 08 - Dallas, Texas - House Of Blues Oct. 28 - Kansas City, Missouri - Voodoo Lounge @ Harrah's Oct. 29 - Chicago, Illinois - House of Blues Oct. 30 - Mount Pleasant, Michigan - Soaring Eagle Casino
The Queensrÿche Cabaret — heralded as "the first adults-only rock show" (21 and over) — was previously described by the group as "Teatro ZinZanni meets Cirque du Soleil, with the band performing their hits and never-heard-before selections accompanied by go-go dancers, burlesque dancers, drag queens, a juggler, ballet dancer, trapeze artist, a contortionist and others. Definitely a fun-filled evening like no other full of freaks and shrieks!"
