In a lineup stacked with heavyweights, there’s one name that stands above the rest, the mighty Slayer! After calling it quits in 2019, the thrash legends are back and ready to turn Louder Than Life 2025 into a warzone. Their appearance at the Highland Festival Grounds this September isn’t just another festival booking, it’s a full scale assault.
Slayer’s so called farewell might have wrapped years ago, but no one truly believed that was the final word. Now they’re back, ready to deliver the kind of unrelenting speed and brutality that shaped generations of metalheads. From Reign in Blood to Seasons in the Abyss, Slayer’s catalogue is packed with tracks that turn crowds into a seething mass of bodies. Expect the pit to open up fast and don’t expect mercy.
Whether you’re a veteran of their infamous live shows or catching them for the first time, this is a set that’ll leave the festival grounds scorched. No polish. No compromise. Just Slayer doing what they’ve always done best, levelling everything in their path.
Where It’s All Happening
Louder Than Life 2025 runs from September 18th to 21st at the Highland Festival Grounds in Louisville, Kentucky. The four day festival is set to feature a stacked lineup of rock and metal royalty, making it one of the biggest heavy music events in the U.S. this year. Slayer’s headlining slot is easily one of the most anticipated moments of the weekend. You don’t even have to wait that long either, with the band headlining on the Thursday night (Sep 18). This is a very rare chance to see the thrash titans remind everyone why their name still strikes fear into the heart of the mainstream.
