The promoters of 'Sweden Rock Festival' are planning to honor Ronnie James Dio. Here's the official announcement:

"Ronnie James Dio made five appearances at 'Sweden Rock Festival': three times with his own band DIO, and twice with HEAVEN AND HELL - most recently just last summer. Ronnie always had a keen eye towards Sweden and 'Sweden Rock', and over the years we developed a good relationship to both him and his wife/manager Wendy. It was with heavy hearts we woke up Monday morning realizing that the news of his passing the day before had not been a bad dream, and that one of the greatest of all time had indeed left us.

To honor his memory, we have decided to rename the ZEPPELIN Stage: this year it will be called DIO Stage. We are also planning a tribute ceremony on one of the main stages. More info on this will follow shortly. In October, we will gather some of the most prominent Swedish Metal musicians for a tribute concert on the 'Sweden Rock Cruise'. The names of the participants will be announced as soon as they have been confirmed."
