Pantera, the metal band famed for its heavy sound, power grooves and a string of pioneering albums in the ‘90s, has announced a summer tour that includes a stop in Alabama.

The legendary group, led by singer Phil Anselmo, is set to perform on Sept. 8 at the Coca-Cola Amphitheater in Birmingham. Amon Amarth is on the bill, along with another act to be announced, according to promoter Live Nation.

Tickets for the 7 p.m. show go on sale Friday, Feb. 28, at 10 a.m. CT via Live Nation/Ticketmaster, after a round of pre-sales.

Prices are $48.50, $68.50, $88.50, $118.50, $158.50 and $288.50, according to the promoter. Pre-sales start on Tuesday, Feb. 25, at 10 a.m. CT and end on Thursday, Feb. 27, at 10 p.m. CT, according to the ticket listing.

Pantera’s U.S. trek, billed as “the heaviest tour of the summer,” will stop in nearly 30 cities, starting on July 15 in Burgettstown, Pa., and ending on Sept. 13 in West Palm Beach, Fla. Birmingham is on the only Alabama stop on the tour. (See the full list of tour dates here.)

Pantera has other concerts on its agenda this year, opening several shows for Metallica in the spring and performing at Ozzy Osbourne’s reunion show with Black Sabbath on July 5 at Villa Park in Birmingham, England.

Pantera was formed in Texas during the 1980s by guitarist “Dimebag Darrell” Abbott and his brother, drummer Vinnie Paul Abbott. The band leaned to glam metal at first and struggled to develop a national following. After singer Anselmo joined the lineup in 1986, Pantera developed a heavier sound — with harder-edged vocals, powerful and intricate guitar riffs, and thundering drum beats — and found its niche in the metal world.

The band released a series of thrash/groove albums that thrilled fans and cemented its fame: “Cowboys from Hell” (1990), “Vulgar Display of Power” (1992), “Far Beyond Driven” (1994) and “The Great Southern Trendkill” (1996).

“While metal bands typically brag about going harder and heavier with each new release, Pantera actually walked it like they talked it,” Rolling Stone said in a 2018 feature story. “With every one of their Nineties releases … the tight-knit quartet not only pushed themselves to new heights of brutality and aggression, but they also raised the bar for metal as a whole in the process.”

Pantera released its ninth album, “Reinventing the Steel,” in 2000 and broke up in 2003. Both of the Abbott brothers died before Pantera’s revival in 2022 — Dimebag Darrell was shot and killed on stage during a show in 2004 and Vinnie Paul died in 2018. Anselmo leads the current lineup, joined by bassist Rex Brown, guitarist Zakk Wylde and drummer Charlie Benante.

Pantera’s concert in Birmingham is a new addition to the lineup for the Coca-Cola Amphitheater, a $46 million concert venue that’s currently under construction. Shows by Whiskey Myers (July 18) and Big Time Rush (July 9) recently were announced for the amphitheater, as well.

The Coca-Cola Amphitheater should be ready for the public in June, according to organizers. The 9,380-seat amphitheater — owned by the Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex and managed by Live Nation — has confirmed 21 concerts for 2025 thus far, ranging from comedian Matt Rife (June 22) to country star Jason Aldean (Sept. 26). Shows by the Alabama Shakes, Rod Stewart, Jason Isbell, Nelly, Luke Bryan, Dave Matthews Band and Hardy are on the agenda, as well.
