With shows added due to popular demand, the band will embark on the second leg of their tour—with 20 additional dates—starting July 26. As Rolling Stone shared, Lamb of God, Anthrax, Testament and Napalm Death will be supporting the band on this run.
“After making some of the most brutal, breathtakingly aggressive, all-hell’s-a-breaking-loose music ever created, playing nearly 3,000 concerts in all corners of the world, receiving countless awards, gracing hundreds of magazine covers, experiencing the devastating loss of a founding brother, and even appearing on The Tonight Show, the age of Slayer, one of the greatest thrash/ metal/punk bands of this or any age, is coming to an end,” they shared on Facebook after announcing the first leg of the tour.
“Slayer will do one last concert tour around the globe to thank their fans for all of their support over the years, for making the last three-and-a-half decades so packed with good times and unforgettable experiences, and will then move on.”
Lamb of God, Anthrax, Behemoth and Testament are set to support Slayer on the first North American leg of their final world tour.
