This year’s Rock For Ronnie Concert in the Park, benefiting the Ronnie James Dio Stand Up and Shout Cancer Fund, is set for Sunday afternoon, May 31st, 11AM to 6PM, at the outdoor space adjacent to the Autry Museum of the American West in Griffith Park (opposite the LA Zoo). An afternoon of live rock music, silent and live auctions, food trucks and fun geared to the entire family, Rock For Ronnie will be hosted by radio and television personality Eddie Trunk, who is heard on SiriusXM’s 103 Faction Talk channel.
This year’s music lineup features Rock For Ronnie favorite Lita Ford along with her band, Dio Disciples and southern rock band Jason Charles Miller. Popular tribute band Led Zepagain returns for a full set after their well-received Rock For Ronnie debut last year as part of the All-Star Band. The often surprise-filled Eddie Trunk’s All-Star Band, which in past years has included noted musicians such as Doug Aldrich, Steven Adler, Chris Broderick, Phil Demmel, Dave Grohl, Adrian Vandenberg, Ricky Warwick and Brian Tichy, will round out an exciting array of music.
General Admission tickets are now on sale for the Early Bird price of $25 through February 28th. These will go up to $35 on March 1st (and $50 at the door). In addition, a limited number of VIP seating tickets are now on sale for $75.

Rock For Ronnie relocated to the south lawn of the Autry Museum for the first time last year where attendees enjoyed the beautiful Griffith Park setting and ample free parking adjacent to the LA Zoo.
A silent auction with many exciting items will be available to bid on throughout the afternoon, while live auctions, featuring one-of-a-kind rock collectibles, will be held from the stage between artist performances. Beer, wine, sodas and water will be available for sale, as well as food from various participating food trucks, plus assorted vendor booths selling unusual crafts and other items. There will be additional opportunities to support to the Dio Cancer Fund during the event via merchandise sales, artist meet and greets, a specially-created Garden of Hope and, of course, direct contributions on site.
