Pantera's scheduled concert in Vienna, Austria, this spring has now been canceled by the show's organizers. The reunited metal band was set to play the Vienna venue Gasometer on May 31.

The decision to cancel the headlining Pantera gig comes soon after the band were removed from their planned slots at the music festivals Rock Am Ring 2023 and Rock Im Park 2023 in nearby Germany this June.

Those changes were announced by the festivals' organizers earlier this week following what they said were their "intense conversations" regarding Pantera lead vocalist Philip Anselmo and his 2016 actions involving a Nazi salute and racist words. The musician later apologized for the incident.

According to News in Germany, Rock Am Ring and Rock Im Park faced pressure from the German political party the Greens to remove Pantera from the 2023 festival bills. Nuremberg, where Rock Im Park takes place, was a site of Nazi activity through the 1920s and '30s.

As for the show in Austria, while a reason for the cancellation wasn't offered, a brief statement from organizers said the "Pantera concert on the 31st May 2023 at the Vienna Gasometer will be canceled. All tickets can be returned where they were purchased. Thank you for your understanding." (via ThePRP)
