Four years after Slayer wrapped up their farewell tour — and two weeks after guitarist Kerry King said a reunion was unlikely — the thrash metal legends will return this fall for a couple of headlining festival gigs. The quartet — bassist/singer Tom Araya, guitarists Kerry King and Gary Holt, and drummer Paul Bostaph — have so far booked Chicago’s Riot Fest on Sept. 22 and Louisville’s Louder Than Life on Sept. 27, the band’s first gigs since their goodbye tour concluded in November 2019. Louder Than Life, however, has revealed its entire 2024 lineup, which includes Judas Priest, Slipknot, the Offspring, Korn, Mötley Crüe, Tom Morello, Anthrax, Mastodon, Sum41, Evanescence, and dozens more.
