Prepare for a seismic wave of metal as PANTERA storms New Orleans for a legendary festival experience.

Brace yourselves, metalheads! The Great Nola Trendkill is descending upon the Big Easy like a thunderous storm, and it promises to be a weekend that will resonate through the annals of heavy metal history. Set to crash into Lakefront Arena in New Orleans, Louisiana on November 20-21, this two-day extravaganza is headlined by none other than PANTERA, marking their long-awaited return to the Crescent City after an agonizing 30-year hiatus. This performance also pays homage to the 30th anniversary of their iconic album, 'The Great Southern Trendkill', a seminal work that redefined the genre.

But hold on tight, because this festival isn’t just about nostalgia—it’s a full-scale metal takeover! The sonic onslaught continues with DOWN unleashing their 'Volume V' record, alongside a killer lineup featuring BLACK LABEL SOCIETY, CORROSION OF CONFORMITY, POWER TRIP, CROWBAR, EYEHATEGOD, RĀDE, HERAKLEION, and PIG DESTROYER. Each day of this brutal fest will be packed with earth-shaking performances, and while individual day lineups are yet to be announced, you can bet they’ll be nothing short of explosive.

As if that wasn’t enough to get your blood pumping, The Great Nola Trendkill will resurrect the Housecore Horror Festival, a brainchild of PANTERA's own Philip H. Anselmo. This is more than just a concert; it’s an immersive experience that intertwines music with the macabre. Expect a weekend filled with horror films, special guests, and a plethora of vendors showcasing the finest in dark art and culture. Anselmo himself promises a banquet of bands, horror industry legends, and the sheer chaos that only New Orleans can deliver.

Anselmo expressed his excitement, stating, "To be back in New Orleans with such a package of bands and events is a dream come true." This is a call to arms for all metal warriors to descend upon his hometown and revel in a weekend of pure, unadulterated metal madness!

Presale tickets for this monumental event kick off today, with the general sale going live on Friday, September 11th. Don’t miss your chance to secure a VIP package that elevates your experience with exclusive merch, hotel accommodations, and shuttle services. It's the ultimate metal pilgrimage for those who bleed black!
