Slayer extend farewell tour into 2019
SLAYER have announced they will extend their farewell tour into next year!
After announcing that they would be calling it a day earlier this year and announcing one final run across North America and Europe, now, the legendary thrashers have confirmed that their farewell tour will extend to 2019.
“we always knew this tour would take us into 2019” says guitarist Kerry King, “and we’ve been blown away by the response we’ve been getting here in North America. We’ve heard about fans who have driven five, six hours or flown in from other cities or countries to see us, so we want to assure our fans that we’ll be on the road through 2019 and will get to as many places around the world as possible, to make it easier for everyone to come and see us one last time.”
Bassist/vocalist Tom Araya says, “I just want to take the time out to say thank you to all our fans who have made this first part of this tour phenomenal. You really are loyal and dedicated fans and we appreciate that so much from you. We still have quite a few places to play, so next year, keep your eyes and ears open so you can catch us live one last and final time. Again, thank you!”
Plans are already underway for SLAYER to take the Final World Tour to South America, Australia and Japan in 2019. But there will be more, plenty more. 2019 is twelve months long, and the world is a big place. Additional tour legs will be announced soon.
