Slayer will officially be returning to the stage in 2025. Following a handful of live reunion festival appearances this year, the legendary thrash metal band will make another attempt at playing the annual ‘Louder Than Life‘ festival in Louisville, KY.
The celebrated Californian group had originally been scheduled to perform at this year’s edition of that fest, but inclement weather from Hurricane Helene saw their performance cancelled. In fact, wind-related safety concerns saw the second day of the fest scrapped.
Danny Wimmer, founder of Danny Wimmer Presents, commented of this second shot for the highly influential metal outfit:
“We can’t wait to welcome fans back to finish what we started this year and celebrate the return of Slayer. Our team is hard at work finalizing an incredible lineup that we can’t wait to reveal this winter. It’s going to be epic, and we can’t wait to see everyone back in Louisville next September.”
Next year’s ‘Louder Than Life‘ festival will be held September 18th-21st at the Highland Festival Grounds at Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville, KY. Early bird passes will be launching this coming November, with signups available through louderthanlifefestival.com.
In addition to having previously made tickets for this past September’s canceled show transferable to Slayer‘s set at the recent ‘Aftershock‘ festival, there’s also some more options available for fans who missed the set. Ticketholders for the canceled September 27th date of this year’s ‘Louder Than Life‘ are also eligible for potential discounts and refunds:
‘DWP has also announced the benefits for 2024 passholders who were affected by the weather cancelation on Friday, September 27. Single-Day Friday pass holders can receive a full refund, or a credit applied to the purchase of 2025 passes while Weekend pass holders can receive a 25% refund or a credit applied to the purchase of 2025 passes. Fans will receive emails with all the details, including how to activate their offer.’
