For more than four decades, SLAYER has defined thrash metal – shaping the genre, inspiring others, destroying stages across the world, and forging an untouchable legacy of unrelenting speed, aggression, and power. Now, as they celebrate more than 40 years of chaos, they’re making history once again, announcing two massive headline shows, the biggest they’ve ever done in the U.K. and the only headline shows SLAYER will play in Europe this year.
Set to take place in Cardiff’s Blackweir Fields on July 3rd and London’s Finsbury Park on July 6th, these are more than just concerts – it’s a celebration of everything the iconic band and their fans have built together. The unmissable outdoor events will mark the first time in six years that SLAYER has performed in the U.K. A career-spanning set, stage production like you’ve never seen before, and a night of pure thrash fury that will be remembered forever.
These two epic shows bring SLAYER together with not one, not two, but five powerhouse special guests for an unforgettable display of crushing riffs, thunderous drums, and relentless energy.
Joining SLAYER will be:
Viking warriors AMON AMARTH, leading the charge with their signature melo-death metal anthems and epic stage presence. Get ready to row!
Thrash metal legends ANTHRAX, guaranteed to bring classic aggression and unstoppable energy to the pit.
Progressive sludge masters MASTODON, delivering crushing riffs and their unmistakable, mind-bending melodies.
Hardcore titans HATEBREED, igniting the crowd with raw intensity and anthems of resilience, no doubt bringing on a slew of crowd surfers.
Hotly tipped newcomers NECKBREAKKER – a rising force ready to tear it up with merciless brutality!
One stage. Six bands. Maximum carnage. Are you ready?
