Slayer Announces Latin American Tour Celebrating 40 Years of 'Reign In Blood'
  • 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.
