DIO DISCIPLES has added a lone Canadian date to their upcoming road trip, that being Remembrance Day, November 11th, at The Rockpile in Etobicoke, ON.

It's been over two years since the legendary RONNIE JAMES DIO passed away after a battle with cancer, but his music continues to live on; as performed by Dio Disciples, consisting of:

Tim "Ripper" Owens (JUDAS PRIEST) - vocals

Oni Logan (LYNCH MOB) - vocals

Craig Goldy (DIO) - guitar

Bjorn Englen (YNGWIE MALMSTEEN) - bass

Scott Warren (DIO,HEAVEN & HELL) - keyboards

Simon Wright (DIO, AC/DC, UFO) - drums

Guitarist Craig Goldy has issued the following update:

"After Ronnie's passing and a lengthy mourning period, Wendy Dio and the band that was left behind have decided it was time to honor and keep the memory and legacy of Ronnie James Dio alive in the most respectful way possible!

The tour dates have been posted and I hope that any of you that can... will come experience this!

And it is an experience! There is something special that

happens when a group of people gather together with the same heart, mind and spirit as one another... and that is what happens every night we (the Dio Disciples) perform! I never know when... but I know that it will happen because it always does... some time during the concert, the audience and the band connect and become as one!

And with the large speaker system, lights and special performances by past members of AC/DC, Judas Priest,Yngwie Malmsteen and Lynch Mob... you don't want to rely on all the crappy little cell phone recordings that look and sound like sh*t posted on YouTube!

I've never lied about anything to any Dio fan and I'm not about to start now! Every time we perform there's always several very special moments that just can't be defined into words! You just have to trust me and come experience it for yourselves! And I hope you do!"
