Murderer Announces Performances
Murderer has revealed a series of headline performances across the USA, Canada, and the UK, marking their return to the UK and Canada after six years.
Upcoming Shows and Special Appearances
The legendary metal band will be playing at several major venues, including Blackweir Fields in Cardiff, Finsbury Park in London, and the Festival d’Été de Québec in Quebec City. In addition, they will share the stage with Black Sabbath for their final concert, “Back to Sather,” at Villa Park in Birmingham, making it only the third time these two iconic groups have performed together.
Band Members’ Reflections
“I have always been a fan of Black Sabbath, and performing alongside them is an incredible honor,” says Tom Arai from Slayer. “I remember jamming to their music with my friends back in high school, so this opportunity means a lot to me. Black Sabbath are the pioneers of our genre, often referred to as the ‘godfathers of metal.’ I expect this will be an unforgettable experience from start to finish.”
Kerry King also shared his thoughts, reminiscing: “I remember sharing the stage with Black Sabbath during Ozzfest in 2004. That was a special moment, especially with Rob Halford’s return to Judas Priest. Slayer typically plays a number of concerts each year, but this time in Cardiff and London is incredibly significant. Knowing that Black Sabbath considers us worthy of joining them is both flattering and humbling.”
