Metal, Hardcore, Indie, Rock
A second event has been added in response to the demand for thrash metal titans Slayer to return to Los Angeles, California, as per theprp. The band scheduled two 40th anniversary performances earlier this week in honour of their historic third studio album, “Reign In Blood.” The first performance in Los Angeles quickly sold out, and a second visit in the city has already been added. The Kia Forum will host this new event on November 14. At 9:00 a.m. PST today, tickets will be available with the code “RIB2026.” A day later, on April 24 at 10:00 a.m. PST, there will be a general onsale. Ironically, these Forum performances represent a return to the location of Slayer’s initial farewell performances in November 2019. As of the time of publication, the opening acts for this additional Los Angeles, California performance have not yet been confirmed.
All upcoming shows:
The American thrash metal group Slayer, based in Huntington Park, California, was founded in 1981 by drummer Dave Lombardo, bassist/vocalist Tom Araya, and guitarists Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman. Slayer was one of the “big four” bands of thrash metal, along with Metallica, Megadeth, and Anthrax, thanks to their fast-paced, violent sound. King, Araya, drummer Paul Bostaph, and guitarist Gary Holt make up Slayer‘s current lineup. Holt joined the band as a touring musician in 2011 before becoming a permanent member following Hanneman’s death in 2013; drummer Jon Dette was previously a member.
