Following their European shows, Slayer will take their tour across the Atlantic, with dates set for April and May 2025 in North America.

Tickets for the 2025 tour are expected to go on sale by December 2024, with pre-sale options available for fan club members. As anticipation builds, fans are encouraged to secure their tickets quickly, as Slayer’s reputation for selling out shows remains strong. With their return to the stage, the band is set to remind the world why they are regarded as one of the most iconic names in thrash metal history.
