Dec 09, 02:29 PMSlayer Announces European Festival Dates For Summer of 2010With the historic re-pairing of Slayer and Megadeth for the 26-date American Carnage co-headline tour set to kick off January 18 in Seattle, WA, Twenty-Ten will see yet another killer concert line-up when Slayer joins forces with the cream of the crop in metal for a run of European festival dates kicking off on June 16 in Warsaw, Poland. Slayer, Metallica, Anthrax, and Mastodon will share the stage for the launch of Sonisphere 2010, which established itself as "Best New Festival" at the 2009 UK Festival Awards in recognition of its series of uber-successful European festivals this past summer.
Slayer has also been confirmed for the Sonisphere Festival Knebworth, a three-day event kicking off July 30 at Knebworth in the UK which will feature Iron Maiden, Rammstein, Anthrax, The Cult, and many others. Slayer is set to perform on Sunday, August 1.

The long-running heavy metal band Slayer has just released their eleventh studio album, World Painted Blood, which is soaring up the charts. The music is traditional Slayer, brutal, pounding metal. Drummer Dave Lombardo, who will be playing in the Game with Fame event, says, “The rhythm riffs on this one make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. It does it for me the same way those older records did.” Guitarist Kerry King, also in the event, agrees, “I think it has kind of a retro vibe to it. It sounds like the stuff we wrote in the 80s.” Along with vocalist Tom Araya and guitarist Jeff Hanneman, Slayer has been playing their brand of metal to sold out crowds for over twenty years, winning two Grammy Awards, and selling millions of albums.
Slayer and Megadeth will join forces to co-headline "American Carnage," the most blistering, the most explosive, and the most eagerly-anticipated mega-tour of the winter - and you do not want to miss it. "American Carnage" will kick off on January 18 in Seattle, WA for a 26-date trek across North America. All dates and ticket information can be found at www.slayer.net .

Nov 13, 12:16 PMSlayer Postpones UK/ European TourIt is with immense disappointment that Slayer must postpone its UK and European tour that had been set to kick off on November 18 in the UK, and take the band on 19 dates through Europe, ending on December 17 in Germany. The tour will be rescheduled to kick off on March 7 in Manchester, England (complete itinerary is below).
Vocalist/bassist Tom Araya has been under the care of a specialist for a back injury, and while he has already made substantial improvement, he is continuing on with doctor-prescribed treatment.
"Right now," said Slayer's manager, Rick Sales, "our main concern must be the full and permanent recovery of Tom, so we have decided to clear the calendar and give him the extra time he needs to concentrate solely on good health."
Last week, Slayer announced the postponement of it's east coast "Canadian Carnage" co-headline tour with Megadeth; those dates will be rescheduled in February 2010.
