Slayer Reunites for Global Farewell Tour—Final Onslaught Set for 2025
In an earth-shaking announcement that has reignited the hearts of metalheads around the world, Slayer has officially confirmed their reunion for a massive global farewell tour in 2025. After calling it quits in 2019, the legendary thrash metal titans are storming back onto the stage for one last apocalyptic onslaught.
The announcement came via Slayer’s official social media channels with a video montage of their most iconic live moments, ending with the words: “The Final Campaign Begins—2025.” Within minutes, hashtags like #SlayerReturns and #FinalOnslaughtTour trended worldwide, proving the band’s enduring grip on the metal scene.
Guitarist Kerry King, who recently launched his solo project, broke the silence in a press statement:
> “I never said Slayer was finished forever. There’s unfinished business. We owe it to the fans. This is the final round. And it will be vicious.”
Tom Araya, whose emotional farewell on the final show of the 2019 tour left many fans wondering if he’d ever return, shared a brief but impactful message:
> “It’s time. We started this journey together, and we’ll end it together. Let’s raise hell one last time.”
The Final Onslaught Tour is expected to hit over 50 cities across six continents, including iconic venues like Madison Square Garden in New York, Wembley Arena in London, and Tokyo Dome in Japan. Slayer is also scheduled to headline major festivals such as Hellfest, Download, and Rock in Rio. While the exact tour dates are yet to be announced, ticket sales are projected to begin this fall, and industry insiders predict record-breaking demand.
Adding to the excitement, Slayer will be supported by a rotating lineup of legendary bands including Lamb of God, Anthrax, and Behemoth, making the tour a historic celebration of heavy metal’s most brutal era.
Slayer, formed in 1981, helped define the thrash metal genre alongside Metallica, Megadeth, and Anthrax. Albums like Reign in Blood, South of Heaven, and Seasons in the Abyss are cornerstones of metal history. Their breakneck speed, dark themes, and blistering aggression carved a legacy few could match.
For diehard fans, this reunion isn’t just another tour—it’s the ultimate last rite. As one fan put it on Twitter:
> “Slayer returning is like Ragnarok coming early. We’ve waited. Now let the final storm begin.”
One thing’s for certain—2025 will be loud, fast, and unforgiving. Just the way Slayer intended.
