    Pantera have announced what currently stands as their first US show since re-forming. The veteran metal band will headline Rock Fest, taking place July 13th-15th in Cadott, Wisconsin.

    The gig falls between Pantera’s previously announced European tour and their stint supporting Metallica’s North American outing. If no earlier US dates are announced, it will be the band’s first stateside show since July 2001.

    “Securing this act was a really big deal for us,” Rock Fest promoter Wade Asher stated. “We really wanted this for our fans. I mean, their first US tour in over two decades. Christmas is in July!” The rest of the Rock Fest lineup will be announced shortly.

    Earlier this month, Pantera — featuring classic members Philips Anselmo and Rex Brown alongside Zakk Wylde and Charlie Benante — played their first show with the revamped lineup at Hell & Heaven Fest outside Mexico City. They’ve since played a few more Latin American gigs, but were forced to perform without Brown at Sunday night’s show at Knotfest Chile in Santiago due to health issues.

    Wylde and Benante are filling the legendary shoes of late brothers Dimebag Darrell and Vinnie Paul, respectively. “Basically, the Pantera thing has always been about the celebration — celebrating the brothers Vinnie and Darrell, celebrating the music, and, of course, celebrating the fans,” Benante told Modern Drummer in the video below. “That’s exactly what we talked about, and that’s exactly what we’re going to do.”
