Slayer guitarist Kerry King has announced a 2025 North American tour with his eponymous solo band.

The 28-date trek kicks off January 15th in San Francisco and runs through February 22nd in Los Angeles, hitting Toronto, New York City, Dallas, and Las Vegas along the way. Municipal Waste and Alien Weaponrywill provide support.

“Getting back on the road for the first time in five years wasn’t exactly like riding a bike, that’s for sure,” King said via a press release. “I’ve never had that much time off, but the first tours with my new band — in the UK and Europe, and then in America with Lamb of God and Mastodon — were all total blasts. We’ll be headlining on this next tour, so we’re playing a longer set than we did with Lamb of God and Mastodon. We’ve got a little bit of a learning curve, so will start rehearsing the first week of November. And we might put an extra Slayer song into the set and learn a cover song or two.”

The tour announcement comes after the cancellation of Slayer’s set this past weekend at the Louder Than Life festival in Louisville, Kentucky. The entire Friday slate, including Slayer’s highly anticipated performance — what would have been their second reunion gig after Riot Fest — was washed out due to Hurricane Helene.
