Members of Korn, Five Finger Death Punch, Godsmack, Deftons and more will take part
Earlier this summer, the music world was dealt a huge loss with the untimely passing of musician Vinnie Paul. In addition to his renowned work as a founding member of Pantera and Damageplan, Paul was most recently a part of the group Hellyeah, which was set to perform at both Louder Than Life and Monster Energy Aftershock this fall.
To celebrate the life and work of Vinnie Paul, Danny Wimmer Presents has teamed up with SiriusXM host and "Metal Ambassador" Jose Mangin for a very special Vinnie Paul Tribute that will take place on Saturday, September 29 at Louder Than Life and on Saturday, October 13 at Monster Energy Aftershock.
Mangin will curate and host each Vinnie Paul Tribute, which will feature members of bands including Five Finger Death Punch, Korn, Godsmack, Deftones, Hellyeah, Shinedown, Sevendust, GWAR, Bullet For My Valentine, Body Count, KYNG, Cane Hill, Emmure and more performing songs from Pantera and Damageplan.
Mangin says, "Vinnie is an idol turned big time friend, and he left a massive void on this earth. When Danny [Wimmer] and Gary [Spivack] asked me to put together something special for Vin, I knew the best way to pay tribute to him would be to throw a Texas-sized jam session belting out Pan-mutha-fukkin-tera songs loud & proud! Everyone involved is doing this because they love Vinnie, and together we can all carry on his name, music and spirit forever!"
The fifth annual Louder Than Life has expanded to three days in 2018: Friday, September 28, Saturday, September 29 & Sunday, September 30 at Champions Park in Louisville, KY.
