Anthrax singer Joey Belladonna is paying homage to the late Ronnie James Dio with a new tribute act.
Belladonna and his wife Krista will be performing songs from throughout Dio’s career — including his time in Black Sabbath and Rainbow — across four Florida concert dates in August, which can be seen below.
Wrote the singer on Facebook: “Krista and I are proud to announce our new tribute band to Ronnie James Dio! A night of songs from Dio, Sabbath, and Rainbow!”
According to Belladonna’s website, the tribute will see performances of Dio’s most iconic songs, namely: Dio’s “Holy Diver” and “Rainbow in the Dark”; Black Sabbath’s “Heaven and Hell” and “Neon Knights”; and Rainbow’s “Man on the Silver Mountain” and “Long Live Rock ‘n’ Roll.”
Belladonna tends to remain active when Anthrax are taking a break from touring. In addition to the Dio tribute, Joey has fronted his Journey tribute act Beyond Frontiers for years now, and he also covers numerous metal/hard rock staples under the name Joey Belladonna’s Jukebox.
