Heavy metal icons PANTERA will return to the stage in February 2024 on the second leg of their North American headlining tour. The journey follows the band’s massively successful 20-city run this past summer, a tour which stood as one of the most anticipated events of 2023, as well as PANTERA‘s dates supporting METALLICA. Featuring classic members vocalist Philip H. Anselmo and bassist Rex Brown, alongside guitarist Zakk Wylde (OZZY OSBOURNE, BLACK LABEL SOCIETY) and drummer Charlie Benante (ANTHRAX),the latest stretch of live dates continues the celebration of the lives of late founding members, drummer Vincent “Vinnie Paul” Abbott and guitarist “Dimebag” Darrell Abbott.
The trek, which will commence on February 3 in Sunrise, Florida, runs through fourteen cities, coming to a close on February 27 in Quebec City, Quebec. The band will again be joined by special guests, acclaimed metal powerhouse LAMB OF GOD, with additional support acts to be announced in the weeks to come.

At some of its recent headlining shows, PANTERA performed two songs which hadn’t been played live since the band’s comeback last year: “Slaughtered”, from PANTERA‘s 1994 album “Far Beyond Driven”, widely considered the heaviest metal record to ever reach No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart; and “Revolution Is My Name” from PANTERA‘s final studio album, 2000’s “Reinventing The Steel”.
According to Billboard, the current PANTERA lineup has been given a green light by Vinnie Paul and Dimebag‘s estates, as well as Brown, who in 2021 said Wylde wouldn’t tour with PANTERA if a reunion were to happen. It’s unclear what changed his mind.
