On July 13, 2022, ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' reported that Brown and Anselmo were reuniting in 2023 for Pantera's first major tour in 22 years, and it was announced that they had signed with Artist Group International to book a North American tour.<ref name="pantera reunion tour" /> [[Zakk Wylde]] and [[Charlie Benante]] were later announced as the respective fill-ins for Dimebag Darrell and Vinnie Paul.<ref name="pantera reunion lineup" /> [[Phil Anselmo]] later revealed that a few musicians were also "on the list" to fill-in for guitar, notably [[Ola Englund]] and [[Kayla Kent]].<ref>{{cite web |last1=Owen |first1=Matt |title=She started out posting scary-accurate Pantera covers that saw her hailed as the guitar reincarnation of Dimebag Darrell – then Kayla Kent found herself in the running to be the band's new guitarist |url=https://www.guitarworld.com/news/kayla-kent-new-pantera-guitarist-list |website=Guitar World |date=August 29, 2023 |publisher=Future Publishing |access-date=18 December 2023}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Kennelty |first1=Greg |title=PANTERA Considered YouTuber KAYLA KENT As Their New Guitarist |url=https://metalinjection.net/news/pantera-considered-youtuber-kayla-kent-as-their-new-guitarist |website=Metal Injection |date=August 30, 2023 |access-date=18 December 2023}}</ref>

When asked in November 2022 by [[Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles|Bravewords.com]] if Pantera were planning to record new material, Benante said, "Oh man, who knows?
