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.

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. Check out some highlights here: youtu.be/Po6PxgQTi_g

The all-ages event, which also serves as the unofficial kick-off for the Winter NAMM show, starts at 7:00 PM and will be hosted by the metal ambassador himself, Jose Mangin (Affliction / SiriusXM). Tickets are available for $33 (plus fees) via dimebagdarrell.com. There will also be lots of great raffle prizes to win throughout the night.

A very limited number of VIP ticket upgrades are also available for purchase and will include access to the event’s private artist afterparty, featuring a feast cooked up by pitmaster Dave Grohl. VIP pass purchasers will also have access to The Observatory’s private VIP balcony with bar and restroom, and an exclusive commemorative laminate and poster. A general admission ticket must be purchased prior to the VIP upgrade.

Dimebash 2020 partners include Metal Blade, Dunlop Manufacturing, Dean Guitars, BackBeat BBQ, and Affliction. Proceeds from the event will benefit music education and animal rescues.

The Observatory OC is located at 3503 S. Harbor Blvd. in Santa Ana, CA.

To further celebrate Dimebag‘s life, fans can order Dimevision Vol. 2: Roll With It Or Get Rolled Over via Metal Blade Records here: metalblade.com/dimevision. 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.

MACHINE HEAD’s Robb Flynn Calls Out Phil Anselmo On Racism Accusations: “There Was No White Wine Backstage”

Yesterday, (Thursday 28th January) footage surfaced where PANTERA frontman Philip Anselmo controversially raised his arm in the Nazi salute, a sieg heil, and shouted “white power” into the audience at the very conclusion of the “Dimebash,” a tribute to late guitarist “Dimebag” Darrell Abbott. Yesterday, Anselmo commented on the video saying he’d “fess up” to being drunk and saying it was an inside joke because he and a few people had white wine backstage, according to metalinjection.net.

MACHINE HEAD’s Robb Flynn was also at the Dimebash this past weekend, and Flynn made some shocking revelations, namely there was no white wine at the ‘bash:

“I was there and I could tell you there wasn’t a chardonnay or a pinot grigio in sight backstage. In fact, the only thing that you were drinking, Phil Anselmo, was Becks German beer. Maybe that’s where the joke came from?”

Flynn also revealed that earlier in the night, he spoke to Anselmo and within five minutes Anselmo told Flynn that he “hated the n*gger era of Machine Head,” and he hated the sound and the look. Flynn also mentioned that during ‘A New Level,’ he noticed Anselmo again do the sieg heil and mouth “white power.” The gloves are off and this whole video is a much watch:

When asked about the success of last year’s Dimebash, “Dimebag” Darrell Abbott‘s longtime girlfriend Rita Haney said in a 2010 interview, “It was amazing — I mean, overwhelmingly amazing. It sold out in ten days. When we put the tickets up [for sale], we didn’t even have a lineup, so it was kind of scary putting it together. But just knowing that everybody would come together in [Dimebag‘s] honor was enough… I think people want it, people wanna remember . . . I mean, it was a day and a half, or two days before [this year’s Dimebash] that [some of the musicians taking part in the event] didn’t even know what songs [they would be] playing yet. We were scrambling to get everything together. I was just amazed that within the first two days how many people committed and said, ‘Yeah, I’m in.’ It was amazing.”

On November 5, 2010, Haney presented a donation of over ten thousand dollars raised from Dimebash 2010 to Wendy Dio in Studio City, California for the Stand Up And Shout Cancer Fund, a charity in memory of Ronnie James Dio to help find a cure for stomach cancer, which took his life in May of 2010. In addition, a DVD of the event was shot and recorded for near-future release with proceeds from the disc’s sales also going towards the fund.

Dimebash 2010 was held on October 29, 2010. The all-star lineup that shared the stage included hard rock and heavy metal titans: Lemmy of MOTÖRHEAD; Dave Grohl of FOO FIGHTERS; Joey Jordison of SLIPKNOT and ROB ZOMBIE; Simon Wright from DIO; Brent Smith, Zach Myers and Eric Bass of SHINEDOWN; Kerry King and Dave Lombardo of SLAYER; Robb Flynn and Phil Demmel of MACHINE HEAD; Chuck Billy from TESTAMENT; Chris Howorth and Maria Brink of IN THIS MOMENT; Joey Vera of ARMORED SAINT; Tony Campos of STATIC-X; Gerry Nestler of PHILM; John Boecklin of DEVILDRIVER. This sold-out night was hosted by radio/television personality Jose Mangin, a veteran of several Dimebag events.
