Pantera have dropped off of this year’s Aftershock festival in Sacramento, CA. The band will now be performing at next year’s edition of the event.

The group commented:

“Due to circumstances beyond our control, we will be unable to perform at this years edition of Aftershock next month.

This event is monumental and it pains us to have to miss it. We will however be back for Aftershock 2024!

A sincere thank you to Danny Wimmer Presents as well as all the fans around the globe who’ve supported the 2023 Pantera celebration.

We will see you all at Louder Than Life this weekend and Aftershock next year!

–Pantera“

The festival organizers also issued a statement:

“Aftershock family, due to unforeseen circumstances, Pantera is no longer able to join us next month. We’re excited to share that Stone Temple Pilots has stepped up to perform with us on Thursday, October 5 and are thrilled to announce that while Pantera can no longer make it this year, they’ll be joining us in 2024!

Also new to the Aftershock 2023 lineup is DWP’s own, Imperial Tide! After winning a #DWPresents Twitch competition with us in 2021, we brought on members of their band to our group of talented creatives who help illustrate and design many of the art pieces you see published on our brands today. We’re beyond proud of this group of individuals and are excited to showcase their musical talent for you all on Saturday, October 7th!

See you soon 🤘”
