Legendary metal band Pantera has shocked and thrilled fans worldwide with the announcement of a 2025 world tour and a brand-new studio album slated for release next year. This marks the group’s first new material in over two decades, following their 2000 album Reinventing the Steel.
The band broke the news on their official website and social media platforms, stating, “We’ve heard your voices. The wait is over. In 2025, we’re coming back stronger than ever, with new music and a tour that will remind the world what Pantera is all about.”

The upcoming album, rumored to be in the final stages of production, is said to blend Pantera’s signature groove-metal sound with fresh influences, showcasing the band’s evolution while staying true to their roots. Collaborations with prominent producers and surprise guest artists have been hinted at, though details remain under wraps.
While the current lineup includes founding members Rex Brown (bass) and Philip Anselmo (vocals), the tour will continue to feature guitarist Zakk Wylde and drummer Charlie Benante, who have been performing in tribute to the late Dimebag Darrell and Vinnie Paul. Fans can expect a setlist that celebrates Pantera’s classic hits while introducing new tracks.
