<\/div>\n

A hologram of Ronnie James Dio<\/a> will tour the United States this spring with a lineup of musicians that performed in the late metal legend\u2019s titular band, Dio. The \u201cDio Returns\u201d trek will kick off May 31st at the Barbara B. Mann Performing Arts Hall in Ft. Myers, Florida and wrap June 29th at Brooklyn Bowl in Las Vegas, Nevada. Tickets go on sale April 12th at 10 a.m. local time. More dates are expected to be announced soon and complete information is available on the Dio website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The tour will pair the Ronnie James Dio<\/a> hologram with his old Dio bandmates, guitarist Craig Goldy, drummer Simon Wright and keyboardist Scott Warren, as well as Dio Disciples bassist Bjorn Englen. The tour will also feature guest vocalists Tim \u201cRipper\u201d Owens \u2013 who\u2019s worked with Yngwie Malmsteen and briefly replaced Rob Halford in Judas Priest during the Nineties \u2014 and Lynch Mob\u2019s Oni Logan.<\/p>\n

The new show will boast a 90-minute setlist featuring music from throughout Dio\u2019s career, from Rainbow to Black Sabbath to Dio, and include hits like \u201cHoly Diver,\u201d \u201cKing of Rock N\u2019 Roll\u201d and \u201cWe Rock.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Dio hologram debuted<\/a> at the 2016 Wacken festival in Germany and the following year, \u201cDio Returns\u201d embarked on a European tour<\/a> and made its U.S. debut<\/a> at the Pollstar Awards. In an interview with Rolling Stone<\/em> at the time, Goldy spoke about the mixed reactions from fans, saying, \u201cRonnie was and still is so revered by his fans, which really are his extended family, and they, too, had a special relationship with the man himself which entitles them to a voice. Like all families, not everyone agrees, but this was a gift to the fans that was created in the very same spirit in which Ronnie gave throughout his whole career and created these amazing stage shows that rivaled Madonna and Michael Jackson.\u201d<\/p>\n
