To the Ronnie James Dio stage as tribute. I heard that Ozzfest (blah!) is naming their second stage to honor Ronnie this summer. Are their any tributes planned for Dio this year? the true metal stage should be for Dio! just a suggestion cheers! see you there in 75 days!
I can't see any tribute in changing an (almost meaningless) name of a stage into "Ronnie James Dio stage". "Rename the main stage at Wacken" -> there is no single main stage Get him an extra nice (gold?) stone in the memorial wall or whatever and let J.B.O. play "Dio in Rio" as a surprise act on the party stage =).
we're already campaigning for a tribute in the surprice act. see this facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=114601101914570&ref=ts
J.B.O. is gay, so that would be an insult Better rename the stage for this year then.. Or build a statue in the village of Wacken
I support that! Dio statue! ;D a MASSIVE one looking over at all of us.. hahah okay maybe that would resemble a bit of Stalin statues..
Sweden Rock Festival is renaming one of their stages this year in tribute of Dio. Zeppelin Stage will this year be known as Dio Stage. Also they are planning some sort of tribute on one of the main stages during the festival, as well as a tribute show with "some of Swedens biggest metal musicians" on the Sweden Rock Cruise October 7+8.
I'm sure something will be done but i doubt it'll be a stage name change, probably a video rememberance between bands.
