Tickets On Sale Now
Dimebash – an all-star jam tribute to “Dimebag” Darrell Abbott, the late co-founder and guitarist of Pantera and Damageplan – is set for January 16 at The Observatory OC in Santa Ana, California.
Rock legend Dave Grohl and many more top rock and metal artists will be on hand to honor the guitar legend 15 years after his untimely passing.
The all-star jam will feature Dime’s music and some of his favorite songs, with the Texas homegrown sounds of WhiskeyDick opening the show.
The full lineup of musical guests will be announced in January.
The all-ages event, which also serves as the unofficial kick-off for the Winter NAMM show, starts at 7:00 P.M. and will be hosted by the metal ambassador himself, Jose Mangin (Affliction / SiriusXM).
Event producer and Dimebag’s longtime partner Rita Haney said, “This year will mark the 15 year anniversary since Darrell was taken from us…even more of a reason to come together with friends and chosen family to honor the man that brought so much love and laughter to our lives…not to mention some pretty sick tuneage. If you’ve never experienced ‘the room’ at Dimebash, it’s something you can’t describe - the love, the unity, the smiles, the magic. It’s a special kind of vibe you have to check out at least once for yourself. Then you’ll almost know what it’s like to have Dime physically in the room.”The 2019 Dimebash and BackBeat BBQ included special guests such as Dave Grohl, Corey Taylor, Rex Brown, Scott Ian, Charlie Benante, Dave Lombardo, and many more.

Dimevision Vol. 2… is a true celebration of Dimebag and how he lived his life.
The DVD/CD set includes classic video clips as well as five demos picked from a vast catalog that Dimebag accrued starting in 1984 when longtime girlfriend Rita Haney gave him his first 4-track.
Dimevision Vol. 2 also includes never before published photos from Stephanie Cabral, dates, stories, and notes on the five tracks.
Rita worked in collaboration with Daryl "Bobby Tongs" Arnberger--who was one of Dimebag's closest friends and an official videographer for Pantera and Damageplan—and film editor Rob Fenn to choose 33 segments for Dimevision Vol. 2.
