Pantera Announce A Slew Of U.S. Headlining Exhibits For 2023

Whereas they’re at present on tour and performing in entrance of pageant crowds in South America, Pantera has lastly introduced their first spherical of 2023 headlining performances happening within the U.S. Previous to the current information that they’ll be direct help for Metallica’s upcoming world tour, the Pantera reunion had initially introduced exhibits just for European and South American markets.

For a lot of followers it appeared odd that the band was leaving out North America supplied that’s the place the band bought its begin, and to not point out there’s been significantly excessive demand within the states ever for the reason that reunion was introduced. Nevertheless, this was probably as a result of Pantera have been ready for the U.S. Summer time pageant lineups to get introduced, as Pantera is predicted to be a principal attraction for 2023’s rock summer time pageant circuit.

For begins, earlier this week Pantera have been introduced as the principle headliner for Cadott, Wisconsin’s Rock Fest, happening July thirteenth & fifteenth, along with Virginia’s Blue Ridge Rock Competition slated for September of subsequent yr. Previous to as we speak’s information, these pageant bulletins marked Pantera’s first U.S. headlining performances for the 2023, however given the mid to late summer time time-frame of those explicit festivals it appeared uncertain that these have been the one dates the reunion had within the works.

The place issues to begin to get attention-grabbing is with the as we speak’s announcment — Pantera will likely be acting at Danny Wimmer Presents’ Welcome to Rockville in Might 2023. Not solely is that this huge information because it marks the reunion’s earliest headlining efficiency right here within the states for 2023, however as initially predicted it proves the Pantera reunion was destined to be a principal occasion for U.S. summer time rock festivals, particularly throughout the DWP model which is one in every of if not, the largest rock pageant curator within the U.S.

Whereas DWP has solely revealed their lineup for Daytona Seashore’s Rockville, I’d wager that Pantera could be very probably slated to be a headliner at a number of of the opposite DWP festivals subsequent yr. Rockville simply so occurs to be the primary pageant in DWP’s annual summer time circuit, and supplied the earlier years the place DWP has rotated headliners between it’s completely different markets, it’s very doable they’ll be doing the identical with Pantera and different headliners for subsequent yr.
