Tonight, Friday the 13th, 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 return to the stage for a very special in-person live and virtual experience!
The NOLA Town Throwdown will take place at the Fillmore in their home city of New Orleans. Fans can attend the show in person while those who can’t make it, can still catch it in real time from the comfort of their homes! Support will be provided by special guest comedian Dave Hill.
The show starts at 7:30PM ET / 4:30PM PT. Tickets for the live event at The Fillmore are available through Livenation.com. Tickets for the livestream (with replays through August 17th) are available at down-nola.com.
On Sunday, August 22nd DOWN will headline the mainstage of this year’s edition of Psycho Las Vegas. The band will be performing their 1995-released, now classic debut, NOLA, in its entirety! Additionally, Bruce Lamont (Yakuza, Corrections House, Brain Tentacles, etc.) will be hosting an official LIVE interview with Anselmo the evening before at the Rhythm & Riffs Lounge.

You know it’s DOWN as soon as you hear them. That’s the way it’s always been, and nothing will ever change that. There’s no mistaking those gargantuan riffs, swamp blues leads, crashing drums, and hypnotic howls for absolutely anybody else under the sun. The band upholds a certain tradition that countless fans celebrate, expanding their own musical mythos as they leave its pillars intact and untouched.
With a collective resume encompassing Pantera, Corrosion Of Conformity, Crowbar, and EyeHateGod, the quintet puffed out its first haze of sonic smoke from the belly of gritty old New Orleans on the 1995 platinum-selling classic, NOLA. At that moment, they naturally summoned something akin to a ritual, continually partaking in it with critically revered offerings — Down II: A Bustle In Your Hedgerow in 2002, Down III: Over The Under in 2007, Down IV – Part One in 2012, and Down IV – Part Two in 2014. Their shows built a certain live lore with unforgettable runs alongside Metallica and Heaven & Hell, as well as coveted spots on iconic festivals like Download, Soundwave, Ozzfest, and so many others, forever delivering passionate, powerful, pure heavy music you can feel deep down in your soul.
