Update: Pantera have also been confirmed to play at the Hell & Heaven Metal Fest in Mexico on Dec. 2. See more information on that festival here.

News of a potential Pantera reunion first broke last month, with it eventually being revealed that Wylde and Benante would fill in for the late members Dimebag Darrell and Vinnie Paul. Both Wylde and Benante have expressed their desire to stay as true to the original sound as possible while touring, while Anselmo stated in a pre-reunion announcement discussion that he felt the Abbott brothers would want Pantera's legacy to live on.
