Following an electrifying tour with Lamb Of God and Mastodon, along with his inaugural European headline tour earlier this year, Slayer guitarist Kerry King is set to hit the road again.
This time, King and his new band will embark on a 28-date North American headline tour in 2025. The tour will kick off on January 15, 2025, in San Francisco, and will conclude on February 22 at the House of Blues in Las Vegas. Special guests include Municipal Waste and Alien Weaponry, therefor you can count on a heavy dose of thrash and metal energy to keep those fists in the air.
"Getting back on the road for the first time in five years wasn’t exactly like riding a bike, that's for sure," King acknowledged. "I've never had that much time off, but the first tours with my new band — in the U.K. and Europe, and then in America with Lamb Of God and Mastodon — were all total blasts. We'll be headlining on this next tour, so we're playing a longer set than we did with Lamb Of God and Mastodon. We've got a little bit of a learning curve, so will start rehearsing the first week of November. And we might put an extra Slayer song into the set and learn a cover song or two."
