This Birmingham show is a pretty big deal as it's part of the lineup for the brand new Coca-Cola Amphitheater.

Celebrating a Legacy: Pantera Continues to Honor Dimebag and Vinnie Paul
For those who might be newer to the Pantera story it's important to remember that this tour is more than just a reunion. The current lineup features classic members Philip H Anselmo and Rex Brown joined by Zakk Wylde on guitar and Charlie Benante on drums. This lineup is carrying the torch and celebrating the lives and music of founding members Dimebag Darrell Abbott and Vinnie Paul Abbott.
Dimebag and Vinnie Paul formed Pantera back in the 80s and built them into a metal powerhouse in the 90s with albums like "Cowboys from Hell" and "Vulgar Display of Power." Sadly Dimebag was tragically killed on stage in 2004 and Vinnie Paul passed away in 2018. This current Pantera is a tribute to their legacy and a chance for fans old and new to experience the band's incredible music live.
