Slayer reunites for two festival performances

Slayer are reuniting for a pair of festival performances. The thrash metal legends split up after playing their final shows in 2019, and now five years later, they’ve announced a performance at Riot Fest, which takes place September 20-22 in Chicago, Illinois. Then, a week later, they’ll be performing at Louder Than Life festival in Louisville, Kentucky.

It’s a bit of a surprise to hear, considering Kerry King recently told Rolling Stone that he didn’t expect the band to reunite, but here we are.

Check out the Louder Than Life festival lineup here. More info about Riot Fest is here.
