Reign In Blood is turning 40: Slayer are celebrating this milestone with two major anniversary shows in the US, where the setlist will consist of the complete album tracklist. This legendary work from the heyday of 1980s Thrash Metal features the iconic song “Angel Of Death,” which is expected to serve as the set opener.
Each show will feature three different support acts; night one with Down, Suicidal Tendencies, and Hatebreed, and night two with Cannibal Corpse, Cavalera, and Crowbar—with Cavalera performing the Sepultura album Chaos A.D. in full. Both show dates are listed below.
