SLAYER‘s triumphant return to the stage will continue into 2025. The metal titans will headline Louder Than Life in Louisville, Kentucky, from September 18th to 21st. Their 2024 performance was unfortunately canceled due to Hurricane Helene, but fans can now look forward to witnessing their legendary live show next year.
“We can’t wait to welcome fans back to finish what we started this year and celebrate the return of Slayer,” says Danny Wimmer of Danny Wimmer Presents. “Our team is hard at work finalizing an incredible lineup that we can’t wait to reveal this winter. It’s going to be epic, and we can’t wait to see everyone back in Louisville next September.”
Danny Wimmer Presents has announced compensation options for 2024 passholders impacted by the weather cancellation on Friday, September 27. Single-day Friday passholders are eligible for a full refund or a credit toward 2025 passes, while weekend passholders can receive a 25% refund or a credit for 2025 passes. Fans will receive an email with all details, including instructions on redeeming their offer.
In a recent interview with Metal Injection, SLAYER guitarist Kerry King said that he doesn’t rule out the possibility of more SLAYER shows in the future beyond the three festival appearances previously announced.
“I’m trying to be real and definitely say, hey, we’re not gonna tour again,” he said. “And we’re certainly not gonna record again, ’cause I have a means of doing that now with my band. [We’re doing] three shows for now. And I say ‘for now’ because I know Europe’s gonna come knocking, ‘Hey, man, you guys played America. Come see us.’ So it wouldn’t surprise me if something like that happened, but it’s certainly not on my books right now.”
