Slayer Reign In Blood Anniversary

Slayer Reign In Blood Anniversary Shows Expand to Three Dates

Slayer Reign In Blood anniversary shows are already growing fast.

What started as two 2026 anniversary dates has now expanded to three, with a second Los Angeles show added after the first sold out quickly. Nuclear Blast first announced the run as a celebration of the 40th anniversary of Reign In Blood, with the band performing the album in full in Shakopee, Minnesota on September 4, 2026 and Los Angeles, California on November 13, 2026.

Slayer Reign In Blood Anniversary Shows Now Include a Second Los Angeles Date

That already felt strong enough on its own, but the story moved quickly.

Loudwire reported that Slayer added a second Los Angeles show on November 14, 2026 after the November 13 date sold out the same day tickets went on sale.

That changes the shape of the story immediately. This is no longer just a pair of anniversary shows. It is already a three-show run because demand hit that fast.

Why the Slayer Reign In Blood Anniversary Shows Are Hitting Hard Already

The real weight here is simple: Slayer are bringing Reign In Blood back to the stage in full.

Nuclear Blast framed the run around the album’s 40th anniversary, bringing songs like “Angel Of Death” back in a full-album setting four decades after the record’s original release in 1986.

That is the kind of news that does not need much extra decoration. Reign In Blood still carries a reputation that very few thrash records can touch.

There is also another detail that gives the Los Angeles shows even more charge.

Nuclear Blast noted that the first L.A. date marks Slayer’s first Los Angeles show in seven years.

That gives the anniversary run more shape than a standard nostalgia lap.

Support Bands for the Slayer Reign In Blood Anniversary Shows

The support lineups make the run even heavier.

Nuclear Blast says the Minnesota date will feature Down, Suicidal Tendencies, and Hatebreed, while the Los Angeles show was announced with Cannibal Corpse, Cavalera, and Crowbar.

Loudwire says the second Los Angeles date is expected to carry the same support bill. That makes the whole run feel bigger than a simple album celebration.

Tickets for the Slayer Reign In Blood Anniversary Shows

Tickets for the Slayer Reign In Blood anniversary shows moved immediately.

Nuclear Blast said the artist presale began right away, with general sale set for Friday, April 24, 2026 at 10 AM local time through Slayer’s official live page.

Loudwire then confirmed that the first Los Angeles date sold out fast enough to trigger a second show.

For now, the headline is simple: Slayer Reign In Blood anniversary shows have already expanded to three dates, Los Angeles reacted instantly, and one of thrash metal’s most untouchable albums is heading back to the stage in full.
