Pantera Rocks The Motor City
The photo gallery below does an outstanding job highlighting Pantera’s performance. It was loud, confident, and set the tone for the night to come. Some of the WRIF Staff even said Pantera was their favorite part of the whole Metallica weekend. Now, that’s saying something!

On Friday, we got Pantera and Mammoth WVH. Then, on Night 2, we got to see Ice Nine Kills and Five Finger Death Punch open for Metallica. Everyone had their own favorite night, and for valid reasons! Personally, it was my first time seeing Pantera and Metallica so that was awesome, and they didn't disappoint.
If you didn't get a chance to see Pantera when they came to Michigan with Metallica, I have good news! You might not have to wait long at all for another chance to see Pantera. The band will be playing a show on February 20th, 2024 at Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids. Tickets go on sale November 17th. They'll be joined in the Beer City by Lamb Of God. That's the makings for an amazing night of rock!
Best of all? You could be there! You can enter for a chance to win a pair of tickets to see Pantera by clicking here! It's a great excuse for a nice road trip to Grand Rapids. I'm a big fan of the city and there's so much to do! Many breweries and some of the best restaurants in the entire state. At least, some of my personal favorites.
Until then, check out these photos from Pantera at Ford Field on November 10th!
