Pantera

Heavy metal icons PANTERA have announced a European tour in early 2025 which will kick off on 21^st January in Helsinki with shows in Stockholm, Amsterdam, Berlin, Paris and more. Featuring original members, vocalist Philip H. Anselmo and bassist Rex Brown, alongside guitarist Zakk Wylde and drummer Charlie Benante, the latest stretch of live dates continues the celebration of the lives of late founding members, drummer Vinnie Paul and guitarist Dimebag Darrell.

 

The tour will follow PANTERA’s previously announced UK and Ireland dates and their triumphant headline performance at this year’s UK’s Download Festival, the band’s first UK appearance in three decades of which Metal Talk Magazine said, “Pantera’s first UK appearance in twenty years went down like a peal of thunder and left thousands begging for more.” The band also supported Metallica on their North American stadium tour.

"...a true tribute to the legacy of the Abbott brothers and the music they helped create. It is also a gift to the many fans that have gotten goosebumps from the raw power that PANTERA is able to harness like no other band." -- The Intelligencer

 

"...an emotional tribute to the music the quartet made." -- TribLIVE

 

"Anselmo, Brown, Wylde, and Benante masterfully honored the band’s legacy while embracing a new chapter, standing as a testament to the indomitable spirit of heavy metal. In a genre defined by resilience, PANTERA’s triumphant return is nothing short of remarkable." -- All Music Magazine

 

"As PANTERA closed its set with the opening riff of 'Cowboys From Hell' playing behind them, Anselmo asked the packed stadium who would come to see them in the future. The response would be one of the evening’s loudest." -- Dallas Observer

 

Creators of the "power groove,” PANTERA got their start in Arlington, Texas with its best-known lineup, consisting of founding members and brothers, drummer Vinnie Paul and guitarist Dimebag Darrell, with bassist Rex Brown and vocalist Philip H. Anselmo. The group would become one the most successful and influential bands in heavy metal history. To date, PANTERA has sold 20 million records worldwide and has received four Grammy nominations along with sold out arena tours across the globe.
