Graspop Metal Meeting

View all past concerts

Down are a heavy metal super-group that formed in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA. The band first started playing together in 1991 but due to commitments in the members' other bands, didn’t start playing together full time until 2006.

Down is a band that has been made up of members of Pantera, Corrosion of Conformity, Goatwhore and Eyehategod during their career. Now, I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking that based on that pedigree alone, Down’s music must be heavy like an osmium elephant, right? Well, you’d be wrong. Strangely enough the band play ukulele lead folk pop inspired by the children’s stories they read to their… yeah, I’m kidding, they play the heaviest of heavy metal.

The band begun in 1991, formed by Phil Anselmo of Pantera on vocals, Corrosion of Conformity’s Pepper Keenan playing guitar, Crowbar’s Todd Strange and Kirk Windstein on guitar and bass respectively, and was rounded off by Eyehategod’s Jimmy Bower on the drums. The band was named after the fact that the members could only play together when the bands they played in normally were on their *down*time. It’s clever, y’see?

Also clever was how the band first spread the word about themselves. After making a three track demo tape, the band would ask metal fans if they’d ever heard of “this band, Down?” and hand them the tape when they said no. Of course, this was done without ever actually telling them that they were in the band themselves. Needless to say, it worked, the band played a single show in their home town of New Orleans, and were signed to Elektra Records immediately afterwards.

“NOLA”, the band’s debut album, was released in 1995 and was an instant critical and commercial success, but the band couldn’t capitalise on the album’s success with more than a 13 date US tour before returning to their main bands soon afterwards. The band returned in 2001 with a hastily put together second record titled “Down II: A Bustle in Your Hedgerow”. The album wasn’t anywhere near as well received as its predecessor but it did allow the band to tour with the 2002 Ozzfest show, however once that was over, so was the band. Or so the world thought.

Between 2002 and 2006, both Pantera and Corrosion of Conformity split up, Anselmo’s former bandmate Dimebag Darrel Abbot was shot and killed onstage, Hurricane Katrina ravaged the bands home town of New Orleans and Anselmo himself recovered from back surgery and crippling drug addiction. Needless to say, the album that these events fuelled, “Down III: Over the Under”, is pretty amazing, widely regarded as the bands best effort.

It also meant that the key members of the band could now put as much effort into Down as they pleased. Since then they’ve released their fourth album as a set of two E.P’s, toured the world and honed themselves into one of the metal world’s truly live acts. They’re at the top of their game to this day, and any metal fan would do well to see them live the next chance they get.

Live reviews

Although no band will ever live up to the ferocity of Pantera, Phil's new band Down does a pretty damn good job! At first when I heard about the creation of Down, I was skeptical, wondering just what Phil would come up with and if it would just be a copy cat of Pantera, or if he could create something new.

Well, I was impressed when I heard the first album and knew that I needed to see them live. I saw Pantera many times in the past, and nothing really compares to that concert, and then I saw Down! Maybe it was because pretty much everyone in the crowd were Pantera fans, but the second Phil hit that stage, it was on! Talk about a mosh pit, talk about shear raw energy, it was just so powerful and intoxicating!

I do have to say that Phil has mellowed out just a little bit on stage, but with all the neck problems and surgery he's had over the years from beating himself up so badly in Pantera, it only makes sense that he has to mellow out a bit. But even though he isn't bouncing all over the stage throwing his body everywhere, his attitude and ferociousness on stage still takes charge and is amazing to witness! The show is intense and that is what I would expect from Phil and his new band Down!

Report as inappropriate

Phil Anselmo and Co. did not disappoint!! Seen them at Piere's Friday aug.8 in Ft.Wayne, Ind. And after all these years he still sounds great! the opening band, Child Bite also sound's awesome and the lead singer is really good. The 2nd. band, Mountain of wizard was a totally different experience.. all instrumental no singing at all and they held your attention throughout there show they defiantly jammed out! It was a good place to see the concert and the crowd really enjoyed it! No trouble or problems at all. But my favorite part was when Phil's girlfriend Kate came out on stage at the closing and jammed on the guitar!! Shoot girlfriend should do a whole show!!:)

Oh and don't stand there the entire time with your cell phone taking pictures cause Phil WILL stop the song and tell you to "put it the "F" up!"

Put on a kick ass show,Phil was usual indomitable self. Sound guys could e done better with vocals(too overpowering)in a small venue like this. Pierre's is a cool little club with good atmosphere, but not much else to do in that area.

DOWN Announces Spring/Summer 2022 Tour Dates

Long-running heavy metal supergroup DOWN , featuring vocalist Philip H. Anselmo , guitarists Pepper Keenan and Kirk Windstein , drummer Jimmy Bower and bassist Pat Bruders , will make a handful of rare live appearances this spring and summer.

The band will launch a three-date U.S. run of shows on May 19 at the Welcome To Rockville festival in Daytona Beach, Florida. After playing in Atlanta and Dallas immediately after Rockville , DOWN will take a three-week break before regrouping for three European festival appearances in June. An appearance at this year's Blue Ridge Rock Festival will follow in September in Alton, Virginia.

DOWN tour dates:

May 19 - Daytona Beach, FL @ Welcome To Rockville May 20 - Atlanta, GA @ Buckhead Theatre May 22 - Dallas, TX @ Amplified Live Jun. 16 - Copenhagen, Denmark @ Copenhell Jun. 18 - Dessel, Belgium @ Graspop Metal Meeting Jun. 19 - Clisson, France @ Hellfest Sep. 09 - Alton, Virginia @ Blue Ridge Rock Festival

Two months ago, Windstein confirmed to Ghost Cult that DOWN was still planning to release a six-song EP of "obscure" cover songs. "A lot of people have been asking about that yet; that's true," he said. "We just need to get our butts in a room together and pick the shit out and DOWN it up a little bit, so to speak. But that's the only thing in the future as of now. But it's something."

As for the possibility of DOWN staging the previously announced anniversary tour celebrating the 25th anniversary of the band's 1995-released classic debut album, "NOLA" , after the trek was sidelined due to the global pandemic, Kirk said: "I sure hope so. I mean, we have [shows booked in] Dallas and I believe we have one in Atlanta, and we have [ Welcome To ] Rockville , we have a festival in Florida — as far as I know.

"But yeah, I'm optimistic [that we will be able to do a short 'NOLA' anniversary tour]," he continued. "I get it that maybe DOWN is not in a position to do a lot of touring anymore or anything, but for god's sake, we can at least do mainly Southeast of the United States, a bit of the Midwest — not to dick you over on the West Coast, but without going thousands of miles away — do something. But we'll see. Right now, of course, everyone's concern is just doing what we have booked already and hoping that that goes smoothly."

Last August, DOWN took part in a very special in-person live and virtual experience. "NOLA Town Throwdown" was held at the Fillmore in New Orleans, Louisiana and featured fans attending the show in person as well as watching it in real time from the comfort of their living room.

In August 2020, DOWN celebrated the 25th anniversary of "NOLA" with a special livestreamed event. Dubbed "The Quarter Century Throwdown" , the high-production, multi-camera event took place using cutting-edge streaming technology to create a one-of-a-kind virtual concert experience.

A founding member of DOWN , Windstein left the band in 2013 in order to focus on CROWBAR and his family life. He was replaced by Bobby Landgraf , DOWN 's former guitar tech who was previously in GAHDZILLA MOTOR COMPANY , a 1990s outfit also featuring Jason McMaster ( DANGEROUS TOYS , WATCHTOWER ),and HONKY .

Windstein announced his return to DOWN in 2019, with the band confirming a number of festival appearances for 2020 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of "NOLA" , all of which have since been canceled or postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic which is sweeping the globe.

Prior to the August 2020 livestream, DOWN 's last live appearance took place in August 2016 at the Psycho Las Vegas festival in Las Vegas.

The Rolling Stones show no signs of slowing down as they begin their latest tour

The Rolling Stones are showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon

HOUSTON -- Time marches on and all good things must come to an end. But don’t tell that to The Rolling Stones.

What many believe to be the greatest rock ’n’ roll band in the world showed no signs of slowing down anytime soon as they kicked off their latest tour Sunday night at Houston’s NRG Stadium.

The Stones have been touring for more than 60 years. Frontman Mick Jagger and lead guitarist Keith Richards are both 80, with guitarist Ronnie Wood not far behind at 76. Their tour is being sponsored in part by AARP.

But during a vibrant two-hour show, the Stones played with the energy of band that was on tour for the first time.

“It’s great to be back in the Lone Star State,” Jagger told the packed stadium, filled with longtime fans, many wearing faded concert shirts from previous tours.

Jagger often strutted up and down the stage with seemingly boundless energy while Richards and Wood played many familiar guitar riffs beloved by fans. Jagger often led the audience in sing-alongs.

“The energy level is up and it’s always up with them. The age doesn’t show,” Dale Skjerseth, the Stones’ production director, said Friday before the concert.

The Stones have hit the road to support the release of their latest album, “Hackney Diamonds,” the band’s first record of original music since 2005.

Houston was the first stop on the band’s 16-city tour across the U.S. and Canada. Other cities on the tour include New Orleans, Philadelphia and Vancouver, British Columbia. The tour ends on July 17 in Santa Clara, California.

During Sunday's 18-song concert set list, the Stones played several tracks off the new record, including lead single “Angry.” They also played classics including “Sympathy for the Devil,” “Gimme Shelter,” Honky Tonk Women” and “Start Me Up.”

After playing “Beast of Burden,” Jagger said that concertgoers in Houston had voted to include it on the set list.

“You can’t go wrong with that,” one man in the audience could be heard screaming.

The Stones also played some unexpected choices, including “Rocks Off,” from their 1972 double album “Exile on Main St.” and “Out of Time,” a 1966 song that Jagger said during the concert had not ever been played by the band in the U.S.

With the 2021 death of drummer Charlie Watts, the Stones are now comprised of the core trio of Jagger, Richards and Wood. On Sunday, they were backed by various musicians including two keyboardists, a new drummer, backup singers and a brass section.

While the stage was surrounded by a large collection of video screens projecting images throughout the show, the main focus of the concert was the band and their songs

Before Sunday’s concert, Jagger spent time on Friday touring NASA’s Johnson Space Center in suburban Houston, posting photos on his Instagram account of him with astronauts inside Mission Control.

“I had an amazing trip to the space center,” Jagger said.

When asked if the band might be thinking about retiring, Skjerseth said he doubts that will happen.

“This is not the end. They’re very enthused,” he said.

This story has been updated to correct a song title to “Gimme Shelter,” not “Gimmer Shelter.”

Aug 17 2024 System Of A Down & Deftones @ Golden Gate Park w/The Mars Volta, VOWWS, Viagra Boys San Francisco, CA SOLD OUT

We as System Of A Down have just released new music for the first time in 15 years. The time to do this is now, as together, the four of us have something extremely important to say as a unified voice. These two songs, “Protect The Land” and “Genocidal Humanoidz” both speak of a dire and serious war being perpetrated upon our cultural homelands of Artsakh and Armenia. On September 27, the combined forces of Azerbaijan and Turkey (along with Isis terrorists from Syria) attacked the Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh, which we as Armenians call Artsakh. For over the past month, civilians young and old have been awakened day and night by the frightful sights and sounds of rocket attacks, falling bombs, missiles, drones and terrorist attacks. They’ve had to find sanctuary in makeshift shelters, trying to avoid the fallout of outlawed cluster bombs raining down on their streets and homes, hospitals and places of worship. Their attackers have set their forests and endangered wildlife ablaze using white phosphorus, another banned weapon. And Why? Because over 30 years ago in 1988, the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh (which at the time was an Autonomous Oblast within the USSR), were tired of being treated as second class citizens and decided to declare their rightful independence from the Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic whose borders engulfed their own. This ultimately led to a war of self determination by Armenians in Karabakh against Azerbaijan that ended in a cease fire in 1994, with Armenians retaining control of their ancestral homelands and maintaining their independence to the present day. Our people have lived there for millennia, and for most families there, it’s the only home they and their forefathers and mothers have ever known. They just want to live in peace as they have for centuries. There is an immediate need for global citizens to urge their respective governments to not only condemn the actions of the corrupt regime leaders of Azerbaijan and Turkey, but to also insist world leaders act with urgency to bring peace to the region and rightfully recognize Artsakh as the independent nation it is. Most importantly and urgently, we humbly implore you to donate, in sums small or large to provide desperately needed aid and basic supplies for those adversely affected with what are ever growing accounts of crimes against humanity. We realize that for many of you, there are more convenient ways you like listening to music, so please consider the opportunity to download these songs as an act of charity above all else. The music and lyrics speak for themselves. We need you to speak for Artsakh. Peace, Daron, Shavo, John and Serj

What many believe to be the greatest rock ’n’ roll band in the world showed no signs of slowing down anytime soon as they kicked off their latest tour Sunday night at Houston’s NRG Stadium.

The Stones have been touring for more than 60 years. Frontman Mick Jagger and lead guitarist Keith Richards are both 80, with guitarist Ronnie Wood not far behind at 76. Their tour is being sponsored in part by AARP.

But during a vibrant two-hour show, the Stones played with the energy of band that was on tour for the first time.

“It’s great to be back in the Lone Star State,” Jagger told the packed stadium, filled with longtime fans, many wearing faded concert shirts from previous tours.

Jagger often strutted up and down the stage with seemingly boundless energy while Richards and Wood played many familiar guitar riffs beloved by fans. Jagger often led the audience in sing-alongs.

“The energy level is up and it’s always up with them. The age doesn’t show,” Dale Skjerseth, the Stones’ production director, said Friday before the concert.

The Stones have hit the road to support the release of their latest album, “Hackney Diamonds,” the band’s first record of original music since 2005.

Houston was the first stop on the band’s 16-city tour across the U.S. and Canada. Other cities on the tour include New Orleans, Philadelphia and Vancouver, British Columbia. The tour ends on July 17 in Santa Clara, California.

During Sunday’s 18-song concert set list, the Stones played several tracks off the new record, including lead single “Angry.” They also played classics including “Sympathy for the Devil,” “Gimme Shelter,” Honky Tonk Women” and “Start Me Up.”

After playing “Beast of Burden,” Jagger said that concertgoers in Houston had voted to include it on the set list.

“You can’t go wrong with that,” one man in the audience could be heard screaming.

The Stones also played some unexpected choices, including “Rocks Off,” from their 1972 double album “Exile on Main St.” and “Out of Time,” a 1966 song that Jagger said during the concert had not ever been played by the band in the U.S.

With the 2021 death of drummer Charlie Watts , the Stones are now comprised of the core trio of Jagger, Richards and Wood. On Sunday, they were backed by various musicians including two keyboardists, a new drummer, backup singers and a brass section.

While the stage was surrounded by a large collection of video screens projecting images throughout the show, the main focus of the concert was the band and their songs

Before Sunday’s concert, Jagger spent time on Friday touring NASA’s Johnson Space Center in suburban Houston, posting photos on his Instagram account of him with astronauts inside Mission Control.

“I had an amazing trip to the space center,” Jagger said.

When asked if the band might be thinking about retiring, Skjerseth said he doubts that will happen.

“This is not the end. They’re very enthused,” he said.

This story has been updated to correct a song title to “Gimme Shelter,” not “Gimmer Shelter.”

Travis Kelce auctioned 4 tickets for Taylor Swift's Eras Tour — and made $80,000

• Travis Kelce auctioned off four Taylor Swift Eras Tour tickets for $80,000 at a charity event.
• The auction took place at Patrick Mahomes' 15 and Mahomies Foundation Golf Classic gala.
• In 2023, Swift's Eras Tour contributed significantly to her estimated earnings of $1.1 billion.

Travis Kelce sold four tickets to Taylor Swift's Eras Tour for $80,000 at a charity auction hosted by Patrick Mahomes.

Kelce and Swift attended the auction at The 15 and Mahomies Foundation Golf Classic gala in Las Vegas on Saturday, which raised money for health, wellness, and community resources that impact the lives of children.

Swift seemingly decided to auction off the tickets spontaneously, as they weren't included in the docket.

"I think, um, I was just talking to my significant other, and uh, we might have one other auction item that wasn't on the docket," Kelce said in a video posted to TikTok , cited by People .

"Has anybody heard of the Eras tour?" he said. The crowd cheered in response.

Kelce went on to say they had four tickets for the Eras Tour's US dates in New Orleans, Miami, Oregon, and Minneapolis later this year.

Harry Santa-Olalla, the auctioneer, confirmed in an Instagram post that the tickets sold for $80,000.

Santa-Olalla also documented the moment Kelce "convinced" Swift to auction the four tickets in an Instagram Story, according to People.

Several videos circulating on social media showed Swift and Kelce entering the event , and later, Swift was filmed waving a red napkin as the tickets were auctioned.

Bloomberg estimated that Swift earned $1.1 billion in 2023, largely due to the success of the Eras Tour.

An analysis by research company QuestionPro, cited by a Business Insider report , found that the average Swiftie spent $1,300 to head to the Eras Tour in 2023.

Some fans who spoke to BI's Juliana Kaplan admitted to spending up to $20,000 on expenses relating to Swift's tour, including flights, accommodation, costumes, and tickets.

Last year, data from the research company QuestionPro provided exclusively to CNN estimated Swift's tour will gross $2.2 billion in North American ticket sales, and that is before the resale market.
