Slayer have announced details of their final European tour. Starting in Dublin at the 3Arena on 1st November, the extended jaunt will see the pioneers joined by Lamb of God, fellow big four members Anthrax, and Florid death metal act Obituary.
Having made some of the most brutally aggressive music ever created, being one of four bands that defined an entire musical genre and the band other heavy acts are measured against and aspire to…after nearly 37 years, having released 12 studio albums, multiple live recordings, compilations, live video and box sets, playing nearly 3000 concerts across the globe, receiving countless awards including five Grammy nominations and two Grammy Awards, Gold certifications and other accolades…having its own exhibit in the Smithsonian Institute, gracing hundreds of magazine covers and experiencing the devastating loss of a founding brother, the age of SLAYER, one of the greatest and most legendary bands of all time, is coming to an end.
Late last year SLAYER announced that it will undertake one last tour round the world to thank their fans for all of their support over the years. At 9.00am UK time next Friday 18th May, tickets go on general sale for the UK leg of the final run HERE.
