I was one of the ones that said it would never happen

2 festival shows in September so far

Tom is going to be 63

Are we sure this isn't just Kerry King?

SLAYER has officially reunited and will return to the live stage in September.

For the first time since the band wrapped the last concert of its world tour back in November 2019, SLAYER — Tom Araya (bass, vocals),Kerry King (guitar),Gary Holt (guitar) and Paul Bostaph (drums) — will return to the stage this fall, headlining two major festivals, Riot Fest and Louder Than Life.

"Nothing compares to the 90 minutes when we're on stage playing live, sharing that intense energy with our fans," Araya said, "and to be honest, we have missed that." King added: "Have I missed playing live? Absolutely. SLAYER means a lot to our fans; they mean a lot to us. It will be five years since we have seen them."

yep, that's basically it

I would go

so basically they never broke up, this is the start of their KISS arc of neverending farewell-reunion tours

I think Tom just needed an extended break

This news caused me to take a huge runny shit

He seemed way over it the last handful of years they played.

i mean i guess but the last few tours they did were by far their most successful so this just feels weird and to me

Not shocked. This was theorized years ago during their final tours.
The one thing everyone seemed to agree on was that their touring days were over and you’d likely just see them play the occasional festival shows. So yeah, here we are.

the first of many farewell tours

this is so lame
