Pantera & Lamb of God at Budweiser Stage

Last year, Pantera made their long-awaited return with appearances in Knotfest in Brazil and Heaven & Hell in Mexico. The “Cowboys from Hell” was testing the waters with their line-up comprising Pantera’s surviving members, Philip Anselmo and Rex Brown, legendary guitarist Zakk Wylde and Anthrax drummer Charlie Benante. Apart from the band’s much-awaited headline tour with Lamb of God, they will also join thrash legends Metallica as a support act for 2023 and 2024. Moreover, Pantera will also headline a number of festivals this year.

Pantera is a prolific heavy metal band made famous by the original line-up Anselmo, Rex Brown, Dimebag Darrell, and Vinnie Paul. Through their active years, the band earned four Grammy nominations and sold over 20 million albums worldwide. The band has been regarded as one of history's most influential heavy metal acts. Their groove metal brand has significantly defined the second wave of American heavy metal, along with other sensational acts like Sepultura, Machinehead, and Testament.

Pantera released their debut album, Metal Magic, in 1983. But it wasn’t until their fifth album, Cowboy From Hell, that they made a breakthrough into the mainstream market. The platinum-selling album has been regarded as their most influential work. In 1994, Pantera released their first number one album, Far Beyond Driven. The effort, which became the band’s fastest-selling record, topped the Billboard 200. The album spawned several anthems, such as “I’m Broken,” “5 Minutes Alone,” and “Becoming.”

This 2023, fans can anticipate songs from Pantera’s critically-acclaimed efforts, including their best-selling album, Vulgar Display of Power. Enjoy heavy metal at its finest at the Budweiser Stage on Saturday, 12th August 2023!
