Legendary thrash metal band SLAYER are heading to Cardiff this summer.
For more than four decades, SLAYER has defined thrash metal - shaping the genre, inspiring others,
destroying stages across the world, and forging an untouchable legacy of unrelenting speed,
aggression and power. Now, as they celebrate more than 40 years of chaos, they're making history
once again, announcing two massive headline shows, the biggest they've ever done in the U.K. and
the only headline shows SLAYER will play in Europe this year.
Set to take place in Cardiff’s Blackweir Fields on Thursday July 3 and London’s Finsbury Park on
Sunday July 6, these are more than just concerts - it's a celebration of everything the iconic band
