It’s official: Pantera will meet in 2023 and these could be its new members

As reported blabbermouth.netthe surviving members of Pantera will embark on a reunion tour in 2023. The singer Phillip Anselmo and bassist Rex Brown have signed a contract with Artist Group International to schedule your American dates. The agents in charge of this task will be Dennis Arfa and Peter Pappalardo.

It remains to decide who will fill the void they left Vinnie Paul and Dimebag Darell in the formation. Although there is no official confirmation at the moment, the rumor is that Zakk Wylde (Ozzy Osbourne, Black Label Society) and Charlie Benante (Anthax).

“We are thrilled to be working with such an iconic band and to bring their music back to the fans.”Pappalardo said.

Pantera has Scott McGhee as manager. Their legal representatives are Nick Ferrara And Associates and their international tours are managed by Rod MacSween of ITB.

A year ago, Anselmo said he was willing to reunite with Brown for a tour celebrating Pantera’s legacy.

The 54-year-old vocalist has spent the last few years playing a set centered around Pantera’s music with his band, The Illegals. In the aforementioned statements, the musician said the following about the return of the southern band.

“I think Rex sees what I’m doing with the Illegals and he likes it. He’s like, ‘That’s great,’ because the longer he keeps Pantera alive, it’s good for him, too.”

“I think Rex is very happy doing his solo records and stuff, and I think he’s been in the studio; he’s got his own stuff going.”, he continued. “And I think right now in life, we’re happy to do things this way.”

“If Rex and I had a show to put on or were on stage together again, I would welcome it with open arms. I love Rex. And he would be the same way. We’re brothers forever. So playing onstage together, or doing a few shows together, it’s not out of the question. It could happen.”

We will have to wait to see if this meeting also reaches Europe.
