Thrash metal legends Slayer have announced plans to play a massive, one-off London show in Finsbury Park this summer.
The concert will take place on Sunday July 6 – the day after they support Black Sabbath at the heavy metal group’s final ever gig at Birmingham’s Villa Park on July 5. Slayer will also play Blackweir Fields in Cardiff on Thursday July 3.
The shows mark the California band’s first UK appearances in six years, and see support from Amon Amarth, Anthrax, Mastodon, Hatebreed and Neckbreakker. Slayer officially disbanded in 2019 after an almost 30-year long career, but reformed in 2024 for a handful of festival shows in the US.
The London and Cardiff gigs will be the only headline shows Slayer will play in Europe in 2025. The outdoor gigs promise ‘A career-spanning set, stage production like you've never seen before, and a night of pure thrash fury that will be remembered forever.’ Which sounds like fun.
