H&H was the first band I ever saw, so i can’t wait to see them again. having said that, I’d rather hear that Dio was all clear before they start doing shows again, nothing should be more important right now than his health.
Please add Curved Air and Ten Years After to the bill please.
Old prog rock fan.
great addition,the heaven and hell album was def one of my faves this year.but will ronnie be well enough to do this?,hopefully they wont have to replace him.
i’d rather dio get a clean bill of health before this gets the go-ahead. hes going through alot by his latest announcement.
