Longtime Pantera members Phil Anselmo and Rex Brown reunited this year to launch the band’s first tour since 2001, featuring Black Label Society‘s Zakk Wylde and Anthrax‘s Charlie Benante in place of the late Abbott brothers, “Dimebag” Darrell and Vinnie Paul. Brown, however, has missed the last couple shows in South America due to contracting COVID-19.

Pantera’s 2023 plans also include headlining Wisconsin’s Rock Fest and opening for Metallica‘s U.S. stadium tour.
