Phil Anselmo Confirms Down Will Play 2016 'Psycho Las Vegas' Festival

Though Down were originally announced for the upcoming ‘Psycho Las Vegas‘, a statement later issued by frontman Phil Anselmo seemed to suggest that the group would be laying low for the year. The band’s relative dormancy has of course largely stemmed from Anselmo‘s infamous racist outburst at this year’s ‘Dimebash‘ event back in January. Anselmo‘s camp confirmed earlier today that Down will indeed be playing the ‘Psycho Las Vegas‘ festival, which is to take place at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, NV on August 26th-28th. Down‘s live return shouldn’t be too much of a surprise, over the weekend guitarist Pepper Keenan confirmed the band will return to active duty.
