Though Phil Anselmo’s actions at the 2016 edition of the annual ‘Dimebash’ event certainly put a damper on the festivities, the celebration of all things “Dimebag” Darrell Abbott will return this year. The event has been booked for January 25th at The Observatory in Santa Ana, CA. SiriusXM‘s Jose Mangin will host the event which will feature an opening set from Pumpjack followed by an all star jam featuring members of:
Pantera (Anselmo not invited?)
Suicidal Tendencies
Rob Zombie
Alice Cooper
Korn
Fear Factory
Armored Saint
King’s X
Ace Frehley
Kyng
Cypress Hill
Biohazard
Powerflo
Fireball Ministry
Prong
Act Of Defiance
All proceeds will benefit the Ronnie James Dio Stand Up and Shout Cancer Fund, Kitten Rescue LA, and Kyng‘s GoFundMe Campaign. An official after party will take place at the Affliction Soundstage in Seal Beach, CA afterwards with sets from Whiskeydick, Kyng and Pantera tribute band Cowgirls From Hell. Mangin will once again host.
WOW!
