"Slayer to Headline Louder Than Life 2024: Lineup and Ticket Info"

Thrash legends Slayer are reuniting for headlining sets at Riot Fest in Chicago and Louder Than Life in Kentucky in September 2024, marking their first shows in five years since their farewell tour in 2019. The unexpected announcement comes after guitarist Kerry King expressed dissatisfaction with the band's premature retirement and launched a solo project. The reunion lineup will feature the familiar quartet of King, frontman Tom Araya, guitarist Gary Holt, and drummer Paul Bostaph, and it remains to be seen whether the festival dates will be a one-off run or the beginning of a sustained reunion.
