Anselmo, guitarists Pepper Keenan and Kirk Windstein, drummer Jimmy Bower and bassist Pat Bruders–will return to the stage for a trio of live dates starting Thursday, May 19, 2022, at the Welcome to Rockville festival in Daytona Beach, Florida.

With a collective resume encompassing Pantera, Corrosion of Conformity, Crowbar and EyeHateGod, Down puffed out its first haze of sonic smoke from the belly of gritty old New Orleans on the 1995 platinum-selling classic, “NOLA.” That was followed by “Down II: A Bustle in Your Hedgerow” in 2002, “Down III: Over the Under” in 2007, Down IV – Part One in 2012 and Down IV – Part Two in 2014.
