Ride For Ronnie is in its third year as the charity Motorcycle Rally and concert aims to beat their $50,000 record of money raised to benefit the Ronnie James Dio Stand Up and Shout Cancer Fund on May 7th. As the Ride For Ronnie gets closer, more and more events are revealed for the day, and the latest is an All-Star Jam led by Guns N’ Roses’ Steven Adler. Los Encinos Park marks the spot for an afternoon after-ride concert featuring the drummer alongside Mike Devin (Whitesnake), Lita Ford, Robert Sarzo (Hurricane), Alex Grossi (Quiet Riot), Patrick Stone (Budderside) and Jeff Pilson (Foreigner and former Dio bassist), performing as “Steven Adler and Friends”. This is all in addition to the many bands that will play throughout the day, which include Lynch Mob, Eddie Money, Rough Cutt, Dio Disciples, The Loveless, Sonia Harley, and No Small Children. Rough Cutt will include a performance of “Stars”, the iconic Hear ‘N Aid anthem from 1986, in their set. Known as “Heavy Metal’s answer to ‘We Are The World'”, the track raised $2 million at the time, and plans are in the works for a re-issue to benefit the Dio Cancer Fund.

Eddie Trunk will host the event, and 95.5 KLOS is also on board to sponsor and provide coverage of the ride. Actors and musicians alike will form the celebrity guests participating in the ride, including Sons of Anarchy‘s Emilio Rivera, Sean McNabb (also joining Lynch Mob on stage), Rusty Coones and Star Fields, actor Chris Bruno (The Dead Zone) and musicians Lita Ford, Gilby Clarke, Taime Downe and Xavier Muriel along with KLOS Radio “Horns Up” show personality Stew Herrera. Harley-Davidson of Glendale is the starting line for all riders, celebrity and civilians alike. During an interview with Jose Mangin on SiriusXM’s Liquid Metal this week, Wendy Dio mentioned she’d be donning some of her pink biker attire to hop on the back of the former Dio road manager’s motorcycle in order to participate in the ride.
