On January 22, 2018, Slayer announced that it would do one last concert tour around the globe. The band has already announced the first leg of their final world tour—kicking off in San Diego on May 10th—and today, leg two has been revealed, commencing on July 26 in Gilford, NH. New tour dates are listed below.
In a 2016 interview, Tom Araya said, “After 35 years, it’s time to like, collect my pension. I like singing and just spitting that hitt out and convincing everybody that this guy is a fucking maniac. It’s like acting. You feel the lyrics and you show them with your facial expressions, your body expressions, your intensity—I love that shit.”
The tour will travel to twenty cities over about five weeks, ending at San Jose, California’s SAP Center on August 26. Lamb of God, Anthrax, Testament and Napalm Death will support Slayer throughout 2018.
