UNOFFICIAL SLAYER EUROPEAN DATES WITH ANTHRAX, LAMB OF GOD AND OBITUARY APPEAR ONLINE.

Posted on May 9, 2018 by Oran

Information has appeared online this morning concerning the European leg of SLAYER’s “farewell” tour featuring support from Lamb of God, Anthrax and Obituary.

This past January, SLAYER announced that it would do one last concert tour around the globe to thank their fans for all of their support over the years, for making the last three and a half decades so packed with good times and unforgettable experiences, and then move on.

Today, some dates have emerged online showing a selection shows scheduled for Germany and the Netherlands, with rumours circulating that the tour package will feature special guests Lamb of God, Anthrax and Obituary. This information has not been officially confirmed as of yet but would suggest that the band are looking at November for their European / UK shows.

So far the following dates have been leaked:

Nov. 14 – Dortmund, Germany
Nov. 15 – Zwolle, The Netherlands @ IJsselhallen
Nov. 24 – Freiburg, Germany
Nov. 26 – Hamburg, Germany

Nov. 29 – München, Germany
Nov. 30 – Erfurt, Germany
Dec. 02 – Berlin, Germany

The full European tour is expected to be announced later this week.

SLAYER has been touring in support of its latest album, “Repentless“, which was released in September 2015 via Nuclear Blast. That effort marked the band’s first release since the death of SLAYER’s co-founding guitarist Jeff Hanneman.

Hanneman contracted necrotizing fasciitis, also known as flesh-eating disease, in January 2011 from a spider bite in his backyard. The infection ravaged the flesh and tissues of Hanneman’s arm, leading to numerous surgeries, skin grafts and intense periods of rehab that forced him into semi-retirement and left him near death at several points.

Lamb of God, Anthrax and Obituary are expected to be included on the UK / European dates scheduled for November.

Stay tuned for further details.
