Sebastian Bach and his band will headline the 2025 Rock for Ronnie Concert in the Park, benefiting the Ronnie James Dio Stand Up and Shout Cancer Fund, on Sunday, May 18, on the South Lawn adjacent to the Autry Museum of the West in Griffith Park.
The annual event, an afternoon of live rock music, silent and live auctions, food trucks and fun geared to the entire family, celebrates the memory of the late singer who succumbed to gastric cancer in 2010. Entrepreneur, author and producer Ahmet Zappa will serve as host.
The bill also includes Dio Disciples; Southern rock artist Jason Charles Miller; hard rock band Kill Devil Hill; Las Vegas-based Count’s 77, whose frontman Danny Coker is the star of the “Counting Cars” TV show on the History Channel; and the All-Stars Band jam, which in past years has included musicians such as Doug Aldrich, Steven Adler, Chris Broderick, Phil Demmel, Dave Grohl, Adrian Vandenberg, Ricky Warwick and Brian Tichy. Local band Anita Squeeze will open the afternoon of live music.
General admission tickets for $65 and a limited number of VIP seating tickets for $125 are on sale now. For information, visit www.diocancerfund.org/events.
There will be ample additional opportunities to support to the Dio Cancer Fund via a silent auction and raffle, beverage, food and merchandise sales, artist meet-and-greets, a specially created Garden of Hope and direct contributions on site.
