Pantera And Amon Amarth Unveil Opening Acts For Summer 2025 Tour

King Parrot, Snafu, Shock Narcotic, and Flesh Hoarder will support Pantera and Amon Amarth on select dates of their summer 2025 U.S. amphitheater tour. Produced by Live Nation, the journey will begin on July 15 in Burgettstown, Pennsylvania, and travel through over two dozen cities before concluding on September 13 in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Featuring classic members, vocalist Philip H. Anselmo and bassist Rex Brown, alongside guitarist Zakk Wylde and drummer Charlie Benante, Pantera‘s latest stretch of live dates continues the celebration of the lives of late founding members, drummer Vinnie Paul Abbott and guitarist Dimebag Darrell Abbott. The tour follows Pantera‘s spring run of stadium shows with Metallica and Suicidal Tendencies, as well as a very special U.K. performance as part of Black Sabbath‘s and Ozzy Osbourne‘s historic final show alongside Metallica, Slayer, Gojira, Halestorm, Alice in Chains, Lamb of God, Anthrax, Mastodon, and more.

In 2024 while discussing the chance to bring Pantera‘s music to new generations of fans who never had the opportunity to see the band live, Rex said: “There’s a lot of memories in this band that are hard to put down. And losing the brothers, I just never in a million years thought that something like that would happen. Here we are 22 years later, and to see these new fans’ faces. You’ve got one kid sitting there, or man, woman or child crying, and you have this other guy just going, ‘You did it right.’ It’s just amazing.”

When asked how he and the rest of the current Pantera lineup have balanced honoring the band’s legacy while pursuing new creative goals, Rex said: “There’s many ways that we wanna keep this legacy alive, ’cause the music is still played all over. We have a whole new generation of fans that, they probably wouldn’t have heard this stuff if we weren’t playing out here playing these shows. And so, that generation of fans, let’s say the 15-to-18-year-old kids that come out, they’ll shortly have children, and that keeps that new generation alive. And Phillip even says it in the set, the parents of the ’90s, which I’m a parent of the ’90s, it’s a very important statement in the set because it’s about the gratitude.”

“We’re not doing this for ourselves; we’re doing it for the name and the brand Pantera,” he continued. “And by God, this music needs to be heard again. It does. It needed to for a long fucking time. And that’s what we’re here doing tonight… It’s just wonderful to be able to do this and pay homage to my music, the riffs that I wrote, or the riffs that Dime wrote, or the patterns that Vinnie played, and for what Phil came up with-tremendous impact on this music.”
