The annual 'Rock For Ronnie' charity concert, benefiting the Ronnie James Dio Stand Up And Shout Cancer Fund, returns on Sunday, May 31, 2026 at the South Lawn of the Autry Museum of the American West in Griffith Park, Los Angeles. This year's event introduces a special tribute to another heavy metal immortal: 'Lemmy's Lounge', a branded seating area created in partnership with the Rainbow Bar & Grill to honour the late MOTÖRHEAD frontman Lemmy Kilmister.
The concert runs 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and features a stacked lineup: Lita Ford, LED ZEPAGAIN, DIO DISCIPLES, Jason Charles Miller, LEGS DIAMOND, WHOLE LOTTA ROSIES, SAINTS OF SINNERS, and an all-star closing band curated by Eddie Trunk. General admission tickets: $35 in advance ($50 at the door), VIP seating at $95.
The event will serve MOTÖRHEAD-branded beers and whiskey alongside Calabasas Beer's new offerings: Malibu Stream Blonde Ale and Hidden Hills West Coast IPA. Additional highlights include the Garden of Hope memorial space, silent and live auctions, food trucks, and artist meet-and-greets.
Since its founding in 2010 in memory of DIO vocalist RONNIE JAMES DIO, the Stand Up And Shout Cancer Fund has raised over $2 million, with 100% of net proceeds going directly toward cancer research and prevention initiatives.
A dual tribute to RONNIE JAMES DIO and Lemmy — two of heavy metal's greatest legends — makes the 2026 edition of 'Rock For Ronnie' unmissable for metal fans in Los Angeles.
