Formed in Texas in 1981, Pantera became one of the world’s all-time greatest metal bands, with multiple gold and platinum albums, sold out tours, ferocious live performances, and four Grammy nominations.

Starting out as a glam rock band, they found fame with their fifth album, 1990's Cowboys from Hell, which was a key release in the growth of the the groove metal genre.

Over the years there have been various breakups, side projects and lineup changes, with Dimebag Darrell shot and killed on stage by a mentally unstable fan in 2004, and Vinnie Paul dying of heart failure in 2018.

In 2023 surviving founder members Rex Brown and Phil Anselmo announced they would be touring the band for the first time in 22 years.

And there’s good news for Scottish fans, with the tour reaching Glasgow this month.
