Pantera reunion tour comes to Tampa in February

The current iteration of Pantera seemed to have a successful year touring across the country because it just released new February tour dates, including one in Tampa Bay.

Tickets to see Pantera at Tampa’s Amalie Arena on Monday, Feb. 5 go on sale this Friday and start at $25.75.

Lead vocalist Philip H. Anselmo and bassist Rex Brown—both living members of the best-known lineup of Pantera that included the late Dimebag Darrell and his brother, Vinnie Paul—are still in the band, and covering for the Abbotts are Ozzy guitar whiz Zakk Wylde, and longtime Anthrax drummer Charlie Benante.

And as if the new all-star metal cast isn’t enough, Virginia-based metal outfit Lamb Of God is slated to open, along with more acts to be confirmed in the coming weeks.

While the Abbotts' Damageplan played Ybor City's Masquerade in 2004, this will mark the first time that Pantera as a group has taken a stage in Tampa Bay since 1997, when it brought the “Great Southern Trendkill” tour to Expo Hall at the Florida State Fairgrounds, with Anthrax in tow.
