Slayer is set to perform at the Texas Motor Speedway on October 24, 2026. This concert celebrates 40 years since the release of their iconic album, *Reign in Blood*. They will share the stage with System of a Down, Deftones, and The Prodigy at the first-ever Sick New World Texas festival. This show is Slayer’s first confirmed date for 2026.
The band features Kerry King, Tom Araya, Paul Bostaph, and Gary Holt. The lineup also includes Evanescence, Mastodon, and Clutch, making it a must-see event for metal fans. *Reign in Blood*, released on October 20, 1986, is considered one of the most influential metal albums of all time.
This Texas show adds to Slayer’s live comeback. Since reuniting in 2024, they have played seven shows, including memorable performances at Cardiff’s Blackweir Fields and London’s Finsbury Park last year. Their most recent U.S. show took place at Hersheypark Stadium in Pennsylvania on September 20, just two days after they rocked the Louder Than Life festival in Kentucky. They also played at Black Sabbath’s final show in Birmingham on July 5.
While Bring Me The Horizon will perform in Las Vegas, Texas fans will get the real deal with Slayer. Early tickets go on sale at SickNewWorldFest.com/Texas starting October 24 at 10 a.m. Public sales will begin the same day, if any tickets remain. Don’t miss your chance to see these legends live!
