Pantera were set to be one of the big draws for Aftershock festival this year, but fans will have to wait another year to see the legendary metal act perform at the four-day rock extravaganza in Sacramento, California. The band has dropped off the 2023 lineup, but has promised to play the 2024 edition of the fest.
In a statement on social media, Pantera cited “circumstances beyond our control” without offering any more details on the reason for the decision.

Singer M. Shadows has revealed that Avenged Sevenfold were behind the deepfake A.I. “hack” that falsely announced the cancellation of the band’s festival appearances.

The episode was uploaded to Spotify and shared on the band’s Twitter account. M. Shadows soon responded: “Yikes! This is Not True. We are still playing. Getting to the bottom of this. … What the actual fuck… Not Me!”

Both Korn’s Friday night show — as well as sets by Skillet and Breaking Benjamin — and Guns N’ Roses’ headlining set Saturday were called off for precautionary reasons as storm warnings hit the area, forcing the festivalgoers at the Daytona International Speedway to evacuate. Other artists like Jerry Cantrell and Shinedown played abbreviated sets before the evacuation order was mandated.
