Pantera and Lamb Of God will hit the road this February for a North American tour. Openers for the tour have now been announced and they're all artists on Housecore Records, the label founded by Pantera frontman Philip H. Anselmo. The openers are Nest, Child Bite, and Snafu.
"I am very pleased Housecore bands will have the opportunity to play these shows; they're all excellent and will deliver the goods, no doubt, so show up early!" said Anselmo.
Nest's John Jarvis: "I'd like to thank Housecore Records, Lamb Of God, and Pantera for this incredible opportunity! I was lucky enough to see Pantera when I was 12, and if you had told me then that I'd open up for them on an arena tour in 2024, I would have called you crazy. Actually, I still don't believe it as I type this, but it's apparently happening! Thanks to everyone that's helped us along the way and all Nest members past and present. It's truly a dream come true and will probably go down as the coolest thing that's ever happened to me."
Child Bite's Shawn Knight: "Oh boy, here we go! Pantera hath beckoned the BITE… again. Can't wait to blast our brain-damaged jams in some MFing arenas. Winter too, so it'll actually be dark when we play this time around! Philip, Rex, Charlie, Zakk… see you at catering [smooch]!"
Snafu's Scott Curnow: "Oh man, I can't believe we get to do this again! Last Summer was absolutely insane for us. One minute we're playing in a two-car garage to fifty people, the next minute we're opening for Pantera and Lamb Of God in front of 13,000 people. What a trip! We're forever grateful to the Pantera crew, the Housecore family, and Lamb Of God for having us back. We can't wait!"
