LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - July 9, 2007) - Following the group's successful spring tour,
Heaven And Hell will again wow North 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 a second round of North
American dates as part 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 special guest star Alice
Cooper on all but one date. Queensrÿche will serve as the opening act for
all shows. Tickets for most of the eight newly added dates will go on sale
the weekend of July 13. There will also be a special fan presale beginning
Wednesday, July 11 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.
Special guest star Alice Cooper will join Heaven And Hell on the road. 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 golf-themed
memoir, "Alice Cooper, Golf Monster," was released earlier this year.
Queensrÿche rounds out the hard-hitting triple bill. The band 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 released 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.
