Heaven & Hell took the stage at the inaugural UK Sonisphere Festival at Knebworth House, delivering a powerhouse performance featuring Ronnie James Dio, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Vinny Appice.
Fresh off the release of The Devil You Know, the band mixed new material with timeless Dio-era Black Sabbath classics, proving why this lineup remains one of heavy metal’s greatest.
Here’s their crushing performance of “Bible Black” from that unforgettable show. 🤘
