Another scheduled Pantera show has been cancelled simply days after Germany’s Rock Am Ring and Rock Im Park festivals eliminated the band from their lineups.
The band have been on account of play in neighbouring Austria within the days earlier than the Rock Am Ring and Rock Im Park festivals. But in the present day the promoter of the gig at Vienna’s Gasometer, scheduled for May 31, has introduced it has been cancelled.
In a press release posted on social media, Mind Over Matter Music say: “Pantera concert on the 31st May 2023 at the Vienna Gasometer will be cancelled. All tickets can be returned where they were purchased. Thank you for your understanding.”
While Mind Over Matter Music gave no rationalization for the choice, the organisers of Rock Am Ring and Rock Im Park stated they made the decision after “many intensive conversations with artists, our partners and you, the festival fans.”
Although they did not explicitly say so, it is understood the choice was associated to Pantera frontman Phil Anselmo’s white energy outburst in 2016, which outraged the metallic neighborhood.
After initially hesitating to apologise for the incident, Anselmo later launched a press release insisting that he was “1000% apologetic to anyone that took offence to what I said, because you should have taken offence.”
“For all the pious out there who like to point the finger at me and say, ‘Oh, racist,’ they don’t fucking know me,” he later advised Rolling Stone.
The cancellations depart a spot in Pantera’s European touring schedule for late May and early June. They are in Hungary for a bought out show on May 30 and now have a 6-day wait till their subsequent gig, in Poland on June 5.
