THE ANNOUNCEMENT
Pantera hasn't played New Orleans in thirty years, and they're ending that with a two-day festival named after their own 1996 album *. The Great NOLA Trendkill doubles as a release party for Down's Volume V — their first record since 2007 *.
THE DETAILS
- Nov. 20 and 21 at Lakefront Arena in New Orleans, the first edition of the festival *†‡
- Pantera, Down and Black Label Society head the bill *†‡
- Volume V lands Nov. 20 via Nuclear Blast, 19 years after Over the Under *
- Tickets on sale Friday, Sept. 11 at 11AM ET through Live Nation *
- Anselmo promises Housecore Records and Housecore Horror specialties, horror industry personalities and artists across the weekend *
- Pantera teased it Sept. 4 with an animated arena reading "Something heavy is coming" *
SUPPORT
Crowbar, Corrosion of Conformity, Eyehategod, Power Trip, Pig Destroyer, Herkaleion and Rade fill out both days *‡.
WHY IT MATTERS
COMEBACK: Anselmo formed Down in New Orleans in 1991, and this is Pantera finally coming home after three decades away *. Most reunion-era festivals coast on catalog — this one is built around a brand new Down album dropping the same day.
