Slayer have announced that they’ll play live dates across the UK and Europe for the last time later this year.
In January, the band revealed they would bring the curtain down on their 37-year career with a final world tour, initially announcing the first leg in North America which got under way last night in San Diego. They followed that by revealing a second leg taking place this summer.
Now, Tom Araya, Kerry King, Paul Bostaph and Gary Holt have announced they’ll play 24 dates across the UK and Europe this summer, kicking off with a show at Dublin’s 3 Arena on November 1. They’ll then play six dates in the UK before heading to mainland Europe for 17 shows.
Slayer will be joined on the road by Lamb Of God, Anthrax and Obituary.
Tickets will go on general sale at 9am GMT next Friday (May 18) via Live Nation. The band's Slaytanic Wehrmacht fan club and O2 pre-sales will get under way at 9am GMT time on May 16, while Live Nation's pre-sale begin at 10am GMT on May 17.
A limited number of Slayer VIP packages will also be available from the band’s official website.
