Heavy metal icons - PANTERA, have announced a European tour set to kick off in early 2025, starting on January 21 in Helsinki. The tour will also include concerts in Stockholm, Amsterdam, Krakow, Berlin, Paris, and other cities (full dates below). The band's lineup features original members: vocalist Philip H. Anselmo and bassist Rex Brown, along with guitarist Zakk Wylde and drummer Charlie Benante. This latest series of concerts continues to celebrate the lives of the band's late founders, drummer Vinnie Paul and guitarist Dimebag Darrell.
The tour follows previously announced dates in the UK and Ireland and PANTERA's triumphant performance at this year's UK Download Festival, the band's first UK show in three decades, about which Metal Talk Magazine said: "PANTERA's first UK show in over twenty years was like 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 who felt chills from the raw power PANTERA can summon like no other band." -- The Intelligencer
"...an emotional tribute to the music this quartet created." -- TribLIVE
"Anselmo, Brown, Wylde, and Benante masterfully honored the band's legacy while opening a new chapter, proving the indomitable spirit of heavy metal. In a genre defined by perseverance, PANTERA's triumphant return is nothing short of extraordinary." -- All Music Magazine
"As PANTERA concluded their performance 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 moments of the night." -- Dallas Observer
The creators of "power groove", PANTERA, began their career in Arlington, Texas, in their most famous lineup: founders, brothers - drummer Vinnie Paul and guitarist Dimebag Darrell, along with bassist Rex Brown and vocalist Philip H. Anselmo. The group became one of the most famous and influential bands in heavy metal history. To date, PANTERA has sold 20 million records worldwide, received four Grammy nominations, and sold out arenas around the globe.
