The annual concert celebrates the life and music of late Pantera guitarist “Dimebag” Darrell Abbott, who was killed in 2004.

The Foo Fighters frontman is the first name to be announced for the all-star concert, which promises to include “many more top rock and metal artists.” The full lineup will be announced in January.

Grohl, who’s performed at a number of past Dimebashes, will also be cooking at the event for the artists and VIP ticketholders with his BackBeat BBQ catering company.

“This year will mark the 15-year anniversary since Darrell was taken from us,” says Dime’s longtime partner, Rita Haney. “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,” she continues. “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.”
