In a monumental move set to shake the foundations of rock music, Philip Anselmo—iconic frontman of Pantera and Down—is joining forces with the legendary Guns N’ Roses for a massive 2025 world tour titled Appetite for Domination: The Ultimate Rock Resurrection Tour.
This first-time collaboration between Anselmo and the hard rock juggernaut Guns N’ Roses promises to be one of the most talked-about tours in recent memory. The trek kicks off on May 1, 2025, in Incheon, South Korea, and will blaze through arenas and festivals across Asia, the Middle East, and Europe, wrapping up on July 31 at the world-famous Wacken Open Air festival in Germany.
While the full details of Anselmo’s set have yet to be released, sources close to the production hint at a mix of his solo material and tributes to Pantera’s most electrifying anthems. His gritty vocals and uncompromising presence are expected to complement Guns N’ Roses’ raw, melodic ferocity, creating an explosive combination for fans of classic and heavy rock alike.
To elevate the spectacle further, the tour will feature a powerhouse lineup of rotating special guests. These include Rival Sons, politically charged hip-hop legends Public Enemy, and a reformed Sex Pistols ensemble featuring original members Steve Jones, Paul Cook, and Glen Matlock—now fronted by Frank Carter, stepping in for John Lydon. The mix of punk, rock, and metal under one banner is set to redefine what a multi-genre tour can look like in the modern era.
The tour also brings a fresh dynamic to the Guns N’ Roses lineup, with drummer Isaac Carpenter officially joining the band following Frank Ferrer’s departure earlier this year. Carpenter’s addition is expected to bring renewed energy to both classic tracks and newer material.
Fans can expect an immersive concert experience blending nostalgia, rebellion, and unrelenting intensity. With ticket sales expected to begin shortly, die-hard fans and curious newcomers alike are encouraged to check the official Guns N’ Roses website and Anselmo’s channels for updates on tour dates, ticketing, and exclusive VIP packages.
Appetite for Domination isn’t just a tour—it’s a resurrection of rock’s primal spirit. Prepare for a summer of unfiltered sound and unforgettable performances.
