"SLAYER Reunites for 2024 Music Festivals: Louder Than Life and Riot Fest"

Slayer has officially reunited and announced their first shows in five years, headlining two major festivals, Riot Fest and Louder Than Life, in September. The band's members expressed their excitement to return to the stage and connect with their fans. The reunion comes after the band's farewell tour in 2019, with guitarist Kerry King confirming that Slayer will not be making new music or embarking on a full tour again. Tom Araya cited family reasons and health issues, including neck surgery, as contributing factors to his diminished enjoyment of the touring life.
