We were over on Second stage at Download Festival for the first UK appearance in 30 years of Texas heavy metal band Pantera.

It was an experience to see old and new fans coming together for this shared experience. Moving through their short but powerful 12 song set list and taking a moment to pay respects to their fallen member.

You could feel the love and excitement for Pantera’s first show back. Fans singing back word for word making it a show stopper to remember!
