Pantera cancel & reschedule shows following Ozzy Osbourne’s death

Pantera began an amphitheater tour with Amon Amarth a little over a week ago, but following the death of Ozzy Osbourne, they’ve rescheduled two shows, in Saratoga Springs, NY (now happening on September 9 at Broadview Stage at SPACE) and Holmdel, NJ (now happening on September 8 at PNC Bank Arts Center). They’ve also cancelled their shows in Gilford, NH; Birmingham, AL; and Virginia Beach, VA. See their updated dates below.

Their statement reads:

Ozzy wasn’t just a legend who shaped the very foundation of heavy metal and inspired Pantera from the beginning — he was family. A mentor, a brother, and a constant presence in our lives both on and off the stage. The bond we shared with him ran far deeper than music.

In light of this profound loss, we need time and space to grieve — to be with our families, our crew, and each other as we process and honor the life of someone who meant so much to us.

Out of respect, and to allow members of our team the time to mourn, we will be rescheduling the following shows:

July 28 – Saratoga Springs, NY → Tuesday, September 9
July 31 – Holmdel, NJ → Monday, September 8

Due to the above, the following dates will be canceled. If you purchased through Ticketmaster, refunds will be issued automatically; there is nothing further ticketholders need to do. If you purchased from a third-party reseller (StubHub, SeatGeek, VividSeats, etc.), please reach out to your point of purchase.

July 29 – Gilford, NH
September 8 – Birmingham, AL
September 10 – Virginia Beach, VA

We appreciate your understanding during this difficult time.

Pantera also paid tribute to Ozzy, writing, “RIP Ozzy Osbourne, Thank you for all that you did for metal & Pantera. We wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for you. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Amy & Louis, we are so very sorry for your loss ”
