Slayer are celebrating the 40th anniversary of their iconic album Reign In Blood (1986) in 2026. Four decades later, they are bringing the complete tracklist, including fan favorites like “Angel Of Death,” back to the stage. For these concerts, the thrash metal legends are returning to L.A. for the first time in seven years and are bringing a different support lineup for each date.
For the September date, no other acts than Down, Suicidal Tendencies, and Hatebreed will be performing live, while Cannibal Corpse, Cavalera (with the Sepultura album Chaos A.D. on the setlist), and Crowbar will join the party in November.
Both shows at a glance:
- Sep 04, 2026 – Shakopee, MN
- Nov 13, 2026 – Los Angeles, CA
The band is promoting the Reign In Blood anniversary concerts with the following statement:
“The fastest, the heaviest, the most uncompromising record in thrash metal history turns 40.
SLAYER marks the anniversary with two US headline shows featuring the album performed in full, including their first LA show in seven years.”
Tickets are available starting today in the Artist Presale and will go on general sale on Friday, April 24, 2026, at 10 AM (local time). For more information, visit the band's official tour page: www.slayer.net/pages/live
