Pantera

The tour follows PANTERA 's previously announced UK and Irish dates on the continent, and follows their hugely successful UK Download Festival appearance this year, the band's first UK appearance in three decades, which Metal Talk Magazine said was "Pantera's first UK appearance in over twenty years was like a thunderclap, with thousands begging for more." Pantera also performed on Metallica's North American stadium tour earlier this year.

"...a true tribute to the Abbott brothers' legacy and the music they created. It's also a gift to the many fans who will get goosebumps from the raw power that PANTERA can harness like no other band." -- The Intelligencer

"...a moving tribute to the quartet's music" -- TribLIVE

"Anselmo, Brown, Wylde and Benante have masterfully honored the band's legacy while opening a new chapter, a testament to the indomitable spirit of heavy metal. In a genre dominated by flexibility, PANTERA's triumphant return is remarkable." -- All Music Magazine

"When PANTERA closed their set with the opening riff of 'Cowboys From Hell', Anselmo asked the packed stadium who would come to see them in the future. The response was one of the loudest crowd reactions of the night."-- Dallas Observer

The creators of the "power groove," PANTERA started out in Arlington, Texas with the familiar lineup of founding members and brothers, drummer Vinnie Paul and guitarist Dimebag Darrell, bassist Rex Brown and vocalist Philip H. Anselmo. The group became one of the most successful and influential bands in the history of heavy metal. To date, PANTERA has sold 20 million records worldwide, received four Grammy nominations and played sold-out arena tours around the world.
