SLAYER has performed their second reunion show last night (October 10) at Aftershock festival at Discovery Park, Sacramento, CA.
It was only the band’s second show since their retirement in 2019. Their planned appearance at Louder Than Life in Kentucky last month had to be canceled due to bad weather. No further dates have been announced at this moment.
Setlist for Aftershock show was as follows:
- South of Heaven
- Reborn
- Blood Red
- Postmortem
- Repentless
- Payback
- Temptation
- Jihad
- Seasons in the Abyss
- Born of Fire
- War Ensemble
- Hate Worldwide
- Disciple
- Dead Skin Mask
- Hell Awaits
- 213
- Mandatory Suicide
- Raining Blood
- Black Magic
- Angel of Death
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.”
