Pantera Play One Song Live for First Time Ever at Tour Kickoff

Pantera returned to the road Tuesday night (July 15) for their 2025 Tour kickoff and they added several surprises, playing three songs live for the first time since 2001 and a fourth song live for the first time ever.

The Pantera celebration started in December 2022, but now three years into revisiting the band's catalog the group is still finding ways to keep it fresh for fans.

Though the band has opened dates for Metallica this year, it seems like they held onto a few special moments to make the opening night of their own tour memorable.

What New Additions Joined Pantera's Setlist?

The band wasted no time in mixing things up, opening their Burgettstown performance with "Hellbound," which served as the opening track on the band's 2000 studio album, Reinventing the Steel. This would be the band's first time adding it to one of their performances since their final tour as a group back in 2001.

After rolling through such stapes as "5 Minutes Alone," "A New Level" and "Mouth for War," Pantera then trotted out "Goddamn Electric," another Reinventing the Steel favorite. It too had not appeared in a setlist since 2001.

Then the band really went deep following "Goddamn Electric" with 10's off The Great Southern Trendkill album. The track, issued along with the album in 1996, had actually never been played live by Pantera during their initial run as a band.

But the group weren't done yet with providing something different. "I'll Cast a Shadow," the album closer from Reinventing the Steel, made its first setlist appearance since 2001. It was bookeneded by "This Love" and "Cowboys From Hell" in the band's set.

What Did Pantera's 2025 Opening Night Setlist Include?

Per Setlist.fm, the band played a 15 song set for those in attendance at Burgettstown's Pavilion at Star Lake. After opening with the aforementioned, "Hellbound" and sprinkling in the new additions "Goddamn Electric," "10's" and "I'll Cast a Shadow," they finished the night with a set closing "Walk," "Domination" / "Hollow" and "Fucking Hostile" with no encore.
