Following his recent tour with LAMB OF GOD and MASTODON and his first European headline tour earlier this year, SLAYER guitarist Kerry King and his new band will hit the road for the 28-date North American headline tour 2025. With MUNICIPAL WASTE as special guest and ALIEN WEAPONRY supporting, the tour is set to launch in San Francisco on January 15, 2025, and wrap at House of Blues in Las Vegas on February 22.
“Getting back on the road for the first time in five years wasn’t exactly like riding a bike, that’s for sure,” King aknowledged. “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.”
