The Ronnie James Dio Stand Up and Shout Cancer Fund has announced the Rock for Ronnie benefit concert in memory of the late Dio frontman.
The event will take place May 7 at Los Encinos State Historic Park in Los Angeles. It will include performances by bands including Dio Disciples, which features former Dio members; Steamroller, featuring former Whitesnake members; and the Van Halen cover band The Atomic Punks, before ending with an “all star band jam full of surprise appearances.”

Dio passed away in 2010 from stomach cancer at age 67. The Stand Up and Shout Cancer Fund was founded in his honor and also raises money for cancer research through the annual Bowl for Ronnie charity bowling tournament.
