In the serving spirit of the late, great "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott, Dimebash 2010 (taking place October 29th at the world-famous Key Club on the Sunset Strip) will be giving back to not only the rock community, but to the global fight against cancer, as all proceeds from the show including ticket sales, raffles, merchandise and drink specials will benefit the Ronnie James Dio Stand Up and Shout Cancer Fund. In addition to these charitable items, a DVD of the event will be shot and recorded for near future release with proceeds from the disc's sales also going towards the fund.

"I'm not at all surprised at the outpouring of support of this event because Dime was beloved by everyone he met," states Monster Energy Music Manager Brent Hamilton. "I'm so thankful to the fans, artists involved and presenters for honoring a hero in the truest sense of the word, while benefiting such an important cause."

Dimebash 2010, will feature all-star jams that include: Dave Grohl of FOO FIGHTERS, Simon Wright from DIO, Joey Jordison of SLIPKNOT/MURDERDOLLS, Brent Smith, Zach Myers and Eric Bass of SHINEDOWN, Mike Inez of ALICE IN CHAINS, Kerry King and Dave Lombardo of SLAYER, Robb Flynn and Phil Demmel of MACHINE HEAD, Chuck Billy from TESTAMENT, John Boecklin, Mike Spreitzer and Jeff Kendrick of DEVILDRIVER, Chris Howorth and Maria Brink of IN THIS MOMENT, Gerry Nestler of PHILM, Nick Bowcott of GRIM REAPER/Marshall Amps and Elliott Rubinson of Dean Guitars/MSG and many more. Special guest openers are California hard rockers Rev Theory and the event's emcee for the evening is television/radio personality Jose Mangin, along with DJ Will and Twiggy Ramirez from MARILYN MANSON/A PERFECT CIRCLE spinning some of the era's heaviest tracks between sets.

And speaking of heavy tracks, expect to hear plenty of the All-Star lineup performing songs that influenced Dime, from BLACK SABBATH, SLAYER and IRON MAIDEN to classic PANTERA songs and much more of the music that's torn your head off and made you a believer through a "vulgar display of power"!
