Swedish melodic death metal giants Amon Amarth have officially announced their participation in what’s being hailed as “The Heaviest Tour of the Summer,” joining forces with metal legends Pantera for an explosive North American tour running from July through September 2025. This tour promises a high-octane blend of Viking mythology, blistering riffs, and pure metal power across arenas and amphitheaters nationwide.
A Tour Worthy of the Gods
The tour kicks off July 15 in Burgettstown, Pennsylvania, and concludes September 13 in West Palm Beach, Florida, spanning 29 cities coast-to-coast. Stops include major markets such as Chicago, Los Angeles, Detroit, New York, Phoenix, and Dallas. Announced in February 2025, pre-sales began shortly after, with general tickets made available on February 28.
The pairing of Amon Amarth and Pantera feels both unexpected and perfectly matched. Pantera’s thunderous, groove-laden sound—now revived with a lineup featuring Phil Anselmo, Rex Brown, Zakk Wylde, and Charlie Benante—meets Amon Amarth’s epic Viking storytelling and melodic fury. The result? A tour that offers fans a rare and dynamic metal experience.
Amon Amarth: Viking Metal in Full Glory
With roots dating back to 1992, Amon Amarth have built a legacy of fusing Norse mythology with melodic death metal. Their most recent album, The Great Heathen Army (2022), showcases the band’s evolution into full-fledged arena warriors. Known for their larger-than-life stage shows—complete with Viking ships, fire cannons, and battle reenactments—Amon Amarth bring an immersive concert experience that transcends music.
On this tour, fans can expect their signature mix of crushing riffs, thunderous drums, and heroic anthems like “Guardians of Asgaard” and “The Pursuit of Vikings”—all delivered with theatrical flair.
