Hold onto your seats, metalheads, because the titans of thrash are back! After a five-year hiatus, Slayer is set to storm the UK once more, delivering two earth-shattering performances alongside a lineup that reads like a who’s who of metal mastery.

In a move that’s sending shockwaves through the metal community, Slayer has announced two exclusive UK shows this July. Sharing the stage with them are the Viking metal marauders Amon Amarth, the relentless thrash legends Anthrax, the progressive sludge maestros Mastodon, and the hardcore heavyweights Hatebreed. This isn’t just a concert series; it’s a full-scale metal assault.

The first of these monumental shows will take place on July 5, 2025, at Villa Park in Birmingham. This date holds even more significance as it’s part of Black Sabbath’s final concert, aptly dubbed “Back to the Beginning.” Sharing the stage with other legends like Metallica, Pantera, and Alice in Chains, this event promises to be a historic gathering of metal’s finest.

The second show is slated for July 10, 2025, at London’s iconic Wembley Stadium. This performance marks Slayer’s first return to the UK since their farewell tour in 2019, making it a must-see event for fans old and new.

Tickets for both shows go on sale this Friday, March 7, 2025, at 10 AM GMT. Given the legendary status of the bands involved and the historic nature of these events, tickets are expected to sell out rapidly. Fans are advised to act quickly to secure their spot in what promises to be one of the most significant metal events of the decade.

Prepare yourselves for a night of unrelenting riffs, pounding drums, and vocals that will shake the very foundations of these historic venues. The return of Slayer, accompanied by such a formidable lineup, ensures that these shows will be etched into the annals of metal history. Don’t miss out on witnessing this legendary event!
