Heavy metal fans across the United States are preparing for an unforgettable summer as Pantera announces their massive 2025 U.S. amphitheater tour, joined by none other than the Viking metal warriors themselves, AMON AMARTH. This isn’t just another tour—it’s a full-scale celebration of power, legacy, and pure, unrelenting sonic force. For those craving a high-voltage, full-throttle metal experience under the stars, this is the event of the year.
Pantera’s return to the live stage has been met with both reverence and raw enthusiasm. With original members Philip Anselmo and Rex Brown leading the charge, and supported by metal icons Zakk Wylde on guitar and Charlie Benante on drums, this current incarnation of Pantera has brought new energy while honoring the legendary spirit of the late Abbott brothers, Dimebag Darrell and Vinnie Paul. Their live performances have become a tribute and a revival all in one—raw, tight, and emotionally charged.
The upcoming amphitheater tour promises to be bigger and bolder than anything they’ve done in decades. With open-air venues selected for maximum impact, the shows will offer a visceral experience: pounding drums echoing through the night, searing guitar solos slicing through the summer air, and thousands of voices roaring in unison. Fans can expect to hear timeless anthems like “Walk,” “Domination,” “Mouth for War,” and “Cemetery Gates” delivered with intensity and precision.
Adding to the firepower is direct support from AMON AMARTH, a band whose epic stage presence and mythological themes have made them one of the most respected live acts in modern metal. Known for their thunderous, riff-heavy sound and Viking-laden visual spectacles, AMON AMARTH brings a completely different flavor of heaviness that perfectly complements Pantera’s southern groove-metal assault. Their battle-cry choruses, pounding double-kick rhythms, and larger-than-life performances are sure to whip every crowd into a frenzy long before the headliners take the stage.
Together, these two giants represent different eras and styles of metal, but share a common thread: a commitment to their fans and a passion for delivering unforgettable live shows. The amphitheater setting only amplifies the power of the music—natural acoustics, wide-open spaces, and the electric connection of thousands of fans gathered under the sky create a perfect storm of sound and emotion.
The tour will cover major markets across the U.S., hitting cities like New York, Chicago, Denver, Dallas, and Los Angeles, with many shows expected to sell out quickly. Fans can also look forward to exclusive merchandise, limited VIP packages, and special moments that will only be experienced live on this tour.
In an era where many tours feel routine, Pantera’s 2025 amphitheater run with AMON AMARTH is shaping up to be something truly rare—a powerful celebration of metal’s past, present, and future. For those lucky enough to attend, this will be more than a concert. It will be a war cry. A reckoning. A night to remember.
