The Heaven and Hell 2007 Tour was a global concert tour by Heaven & Hell in support of Black Sabbath's The Dio Years compilation CD. [1] [2]

History

The idea for a 2007 Heaven & Hell concert tour was brought about when Rhino records informed Tony Iommi's management that they would like to include previously unreleased material for the Dio Years compilation. [3] After it emerged that no suitable material was available, Iommi contacted Dio and suggested they record some new songs together. [3] After the successful recording sessions, the band decided to tour. [3]

Lamb of God and Iced Earth were the supports at UK concerts. [7] Canadian dates were supported by Megadeth and Down. During the Australian tour, the band Down led by ex Pantera lead singer Phil Anselmo were the supporting act. In May, Albany NY, Megadeth opened.
