North American Tour Dates For August

Coheed And Cambria To Be Featured As Support For Month Long Trek
Tickets For Most Dates On Sale The Weekend Of May 8

LOS ANGELES < Heaven & Hell, the quartet of Ronnie James Dio, Tony
Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Vinny Appice, will bring their wicked world
tour to North America for a select number of shows this August. The band
will start their summer headlining music festivals across Europe before
bringing their macabre stage show of metal classics to North America
starting on August 7 in Vancouver. Tickets for most shows go on sale the
weekend of May 8. There will also be a presale for all shows, except
Baltimore, beginning May 6 at 10AM local time. Coheed And Cambria will
provide support on all shows except the Seattle date on August 8, which
will feature Neurosis in the supporting slot.

On April 28, Heaven & Hell released their first album in 17 years THE
DEVIL YOU KNOW and the highly anticipated set did not disappoint.
Revolver Magazine declared it “an album of ageless metal anthems” and
The Associated Press praised its “bone-crunching riffs and power chords
that can loosen the phlegm in your chest.” The band plans to mix in
several tracks from THE DEVIL YOU KNOW into their set of Dio-era Black
Sabbath classics.

Heaven & Hell began writing for THE DEVIL YOU KNOW last year, first in
England at Iommi’s home studio and later in Los Angeles at Dio’s studio.
“The band had gotten too good to just walk away,” Dio says. “We wanted
to show people that we were still capable of giving them new music that
measured up to what we’d done in the past.” With that goal in mind, the
band hit the Rockfield Studios in Wales last winter and the result is
the 10-song epic THE DEVIL YOU KNOW.

Coheed And Cambria bring their unique blend of Prog and metal as the
supporting act on the tour. The band just released their Neverender box
set. The 4-CD/5-DVD collection chronicles a series of 2008 shows where
the band performed all four of their albums in the same city on
consecutive nights.
