Slayer’s reunion comes as a shocking surprise, as guitarist Kerry King just launched his eponymous solo band, with an album and many tour dates on the way. But alas, the thrash legends will play their first show since wrapping up a farewell tour in November 2019.
“We’re thrilled to announce that Slayer will be reuniting for an earth-shattering performance at Louder Than Life,” stated Danny Wimmer of promoter Danny Wimmer Presents. ”I was at their last show at The Forum in 2019 and have been working since then to bring them back to the Louder stage! With over 140 bands on five stages, we’re celebrating our 10th Louder Than Life with the biggest lineup yet!”
