Slayer has announced two significant headlining gigs in the UK, scheduled for July 3rd in Cardiff and July 6th in London, showcasing support from Amon Amarth, Anthrax, Mastodon, Hatebreed, and Neckbreakker. These performances are pivotal as they coincide with Slayer's participation in Black Sabbath's final concert in Birmingham. Guitarist Kerry King expressed excitement about playing a Sabbath cover and cherishes the opportunity to perform alongside their metal influences. Tom Araya echoed this sentiment, highlighting Black Sabbath's monumental role as pioneers of heavy metal music, making the upcoming concerts especially meaningful for the band.
"I remember when we played with Black Sabbath at Ozzfest in 2004. You couldn't give me a better bill; I'll never forget that."
"Being on the Sabbath bill means the world to me, because these are my uber-heroes. That their camp thinks enough of us to offer us a spot is flattering and humbling."
"Black Sabbath were the originators, people call them 'the godfathers of metal music.' I think it's going to be an amazing experience, from the beginning to the end."
