SLAYER has officially reunited and will return to the live stage in September.

 
For the first time since the band wrapped the last concert of its world tour back in November 2019, SLAYER - Tom Araya (bass, vocals), Kerry King (guitar), Gary Holt (guitar) and Paul Bostaph (drums) - will return to the stage this fall, headlining two major festivals, Riot Fest and Louder Than Life.
 
"Nothing compares to the 90 minutes when we're on stage playing live, sharing that intense energy with our fans," Araya said, "and to be honest, we have missed that." King added: "Have I missed playing live? Absolutely. SLAYER means a lot to our fans; they mean a lot to us. It will be five years since we have seen them."
 
SLAYER played the final show of its farewell tour in November 2019 at the Forum in Los Angeles. 
 
So far the following dates have been announced:
 
Sep. 22 - Riot Fest - Chicago, IL
Sep. 27 - Louder Than Life - Louisville, KY
