This Summer, members of Ronnie James Dio’s solo group Rudy Sarzo (bass), Simon Wright (drums), Craig Goldy (guitar) and Scott Warren (keyboards) have been touring Europe with singers Tim “Ripper” Owens and Toby Jepson as Dio Disciples. And this Fall, the group is bringing their tribute to the late iconic singer to the States, having  just announced dates for the trek.

Dio Disciples will be making their U.S. debut with a headlining tour this September and October. Obviously, our only taste of the group live has come from videos posted online (like the professionally filmed video of their entire set at this year’s Graspop Metal Meeting in Belgium that can be seen up top). From what we’ve watched, though, Dio Disciples seem to do justice to Dio’s legacy.
