Ronnie James Dio has a long history with the wonderful people of Ireland and Belfast. Stand Up and Shout is honored to bring his music live to the stage on the Emerald Isle and in particular to the hometown of Vivian Campbell.

Bringing to the stage songs from Elf, Rainbow, Black Sabbath, Dio, Heaven and Hell and even The Rods, Stand Up and Shout covers the entire career of Ronnie James Dio. Epic songs like the Gates of Babylon, Sign of the Southern Cross and powerful classics like Holy Diver, Heaven and Hell and others are all part of the set. There are also some unexpected gems for the hard core Dio fans.

Amongst his most rabid fans, the members of Stand Up and Shout understand what it means to play these songs with total passion and conviction…Just as Ronnie did for decades. Masterful vocals, bad-ass guitar and songs we all hold sacred, Stand Up and Shout carries the torch of Rock’s most amazing vocalist and songwriter. Dio FOREVER!!!

This will be a night of good memories, great songs and a time to share an evening with others that love the music that means so much to so many of us.
