Slayer Announces Latin American Tour Celebrating 40 Years of 'Reign In Blood'
May 29, 2026
Slayer is expanding its 40th-anniversary celebration of Reign In Blood with a full-Latin American tour in fall 2026, featuring performances of the album in full.
The Latin American shows will also spotlight material from Reign In Blood as part of Slayer’s broader 2025–2026 effort to revisit their classic catalog, with a strong focus on the landmark record.
The tour will visit Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Argentina, and Brazil, with opening acts including Power Trip, Kreator, Ultra Legends, Avernal, Criminal, and Korzus.
The itinerary kicks off September in Shakopee, Minnesota, moves through Rocklahoma, then October dates in Mexico City and Fort Worth, and wraps with November dates in Los Angeles.
Confirmed Latin American stops include Mexico City on October 21, Bogotá on December 5, Santiago on December 10, Buenos Aires on December 14, and São Paulo on December 17, 2026.
Presales begin June 1 with the password RIB2026, followed by regionally staggered on-sales starting June 3–4 for Brazil, Chile, then Mexico, Argentina, and Colombia.
Kreator and Power Trip will serve as prominent supporting acts on the tour, underscoring a heavy-hitting metal lineup for this milestone.
Fans can expect a high-energy set featuring Reign In Blood along with other staples from Slayer’s broader catalog.
This Latin American leg follows two sold-out Los Angeles dates and reinforces Slayer’s return to live performance after their 2024 comeback.
The band’s current lineup remains consistent with the post-2019 era: Kerry King, Tom Araya, Gary Holt, and Paul Bostaph.
Two additional Los Angeles shows are scheduled the same trip, with Cannibal Corpse, Cavalera, and Crowbar opening the U.S. dates, while local openers vary by Latin date.
Overall, the tour frames the Reign In Blood celebration as a continued vitality of Slayer’s legacy and the Latin American metal scene, not merely nostalgia.
