LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - June 19, 2007) - Following the group's successful spring
tour, Heaven And Hell will again wow American audiences with its bewitching
stage set and truly timeless, classic metal as Ronnie James Dio, Tony
Iommi, Geezer Butler and Vinny Appice return for the second U.S. leg of the
quartet's continuing world tour. Set to launch on September 5, Heaven And
Hell's tour will stop in many cities not included on the previous leg and
will feature opening sets from Alice Cooper and Queensrÿche. Tickets for
the first 12 dates will go on sale the weekend of June 22 with more dates
to be announced soon. There will also be a special fan presale for the
first dates beginning Wednesday, June 20 at 12 Noon EDT at
http://heavenandhell.frontgatetickets.com.
Last year, the iconic quartet reconvened to record a trio of songs for
"Black Sabbath: The Dio Years," a compilation that features essential songs
by the short-lived, but beloved incarnation of Black Sabbath fronted by
Dio. Dubbing the group Heaven And Hell after one of its signature hits, the
band launched a much-anticipated world tour earlier this year. The group
celebrated its first U.S. concert in 15 years with a sold-out performance
at Radio City Music Hall. Recorded and filmed in its entirety, Rhino
captured the historic concert for a CD and DVD release, "Heaven And Hell
Live From Radio City Music Hall," set for an August 28 release.
Alice Cooper and Queensrÿche will join Heaven And Hell on the road this
fall creating one of the year's hardest-hitting triple bills. In addition
to his duties as a rock 'n' roll icon, Cooper is the host of the syndicated
"Nights With Alice Cooper" radio show. Cooper's autobiography, "Alice
Cooper, Golf Monster," was released last month. Queensrÿche is riding high
on the success of last year's "Operation: mindcrime II" album and tour,
which brought the group's complete Mindcrime saga to the stage in its
entirety. On July 3, Rhino will release CD and DVD versions of "Mindcrime
At The Moore," which feature Queensrÿche's performance in front of its
hometown crowd at Moore Theatre in Seattle.
