The band's performance at Knotfest took place six days after Rex Brown confirmed he had tested positive for COVID-19 .

Joining remaining members Brown and Anselmo are guitarist Zakk Wylde ( Ozzy Osbourne and Black Label Society ) and drummer Charlie Benante ( Anthrax ), replacing “Dimebag” Darrell Abbott and Vincent “Vinnie Paul” Abbott , respectively.
