Ronnie James Dio is heading out on a world tour — seven years after his death.
The European dates on Dio Returns: The World Tour were announced this week. The leg kicks off Nov. 30 in Finland and runs until Dec. 21 in Netherlands.
The show features a hologram of the late metal pioneer performing alongside former members of his band playing live instruments.
The tour will hit 80 venues around the world. No Canadian stops are planned but it will come to the U.S. next spring.
Dio died in 2010 at 67.
Hologram production company Eyellusion is behind the groundbreaking tour and debuted the Dio hologram at the Wacken Open Air festival in Germany.
"Working with Eyellusion over the past year and a half to turn our dream of this tour into a reality has been absolutely incredible," said the rocker’s widow Wendy Dio — his manager throughout his career. She is also overseeing every aspect of the Dio Returns tour.
