Pantera is set to lead the Great NOLA Trendkill, a two-day festival set for Nov. 20 and 21, 2026, at Lakefront Arena in New Orleans, Louisiana.
The event will mark Pantera’s first New Orleans show in 30 years and celebrate the 30th anniversary of its 1996 album “The Great Southern Trendkill.”
Presented by Housecore Horror, Housecore Records and Live Nation, the weekend also will host Down’s official “Volume V” record release show and include performances by Black Label Society, Corrosion of Conformity, Power Trip, Crowbar, Eyehategod, Pig Destroyer, Rāde and Herakleion. Individual day lineups will be revealed at a later date.
In addition, the Great NOLA Trendkill will celebrate the return of the Housecore Horror Festival. More than a decade since its inception, Pantera/Down vocalist Philip H. Anselmo will return to New Orleans with the ultimate weekend of movies and mayhem. Through his Housecore Records label, Anselmo has championed numerous rising artists. By way of Housecore Horror, he’s shared his passion for dark, cinematic excess. The Great NOLA Trendkill will include a terrifying takeover of screenings and screams. Guests, gigs and guts will all be on offer as the festival uses venues across the city, showcasing vendors, special appearances and plenty of horror movies. More details will be unveiled soon.
“To be back in New Orleans with such a package of bands and events is a dream come true,” Anselmo said. “Besides Pantera and Down, we have great NOLA and national bands playing, Housecore Records and Housecore Horror specialties, horror industry personalities, talented artists and so much more. Please come down to my hometown and have a blast the entire weekend!”
