See for yourself when the band comes to The Newton Theatre on Saturday, July 11, 2026 at 8:00pm.
Between 1975 and 1985, Dio fronted three of rock's most legendary bands -- Rainbow, Black Sabbath, and Dio -- creating and extraordinary decade of music that defined the genre and continues to inspire generations of fans.
