Band is eliminated from competition lineup
Pantera’s spring efficiency at Vienna, Austria’s Gasometer has been canceled by the promoters. Barracuda Music and Mind Over Matter Music shared the information in a social media assertion on Wednesday (Jan twenty fifth).
“Pantera concert on the 31st May 2023 at the Vienna Gasometer will be canceled,” they write. “All tickets can be returned where they were purchased. Thank you for your understanding.”
There was no rationalization as to why the efficiency was canceled, however the Green social gathering in Vienna demanded the band be eliminated from the lineup after singer Philip Anselmo made a Nazi-style salute and screamed “white power” throughout a 2016 Dimebash occasion in Hollywood.
“Due to its National Socialist past, Vienna in particular has a special historical responsibility to oppose any form of right-wing extremism,” the assertion reads. “The appearance of Pantera is completely incompatible with this responsibility. Therefore, it can only mean for Vienna: No stage for a Hitler salute, no stage for Pantera!”
A day earlier, two German festivals changed the reformed group with the Foo Fighters after the German Green Party for the Nuremberg City Council launched a press release asking that organizers take away the band for “stirring up anti-racist and anti-fascist circles.”
Following the incident, Anselmo apologized, stating he made an “off-color joke” about consuming white wine backstage and made the remark and gesture to viewers members taunting him.
The band has but to make a press release relating to their removing from any of the festivals.
The reformed group that includes unique members Anselmo and bassist Rex Brown joined by guitarist Zakk Wylde and drummer Charlie Benante paying homage to the late Abbott Brothers who based the band within the Nineteen Eighties, will play their first European exhibits in 22 years this summer time as they headline Tons of Rock 2023, Finland’s three day Rockfest and 2023 Sweden Rock Festival.
