Thrash metal legends Slayer will embark on their last ever UK tour this coming autumn.

Part of a larger European trek that opens in Dublin, the seminal Californian band will play massive arena shows in London, Cardiff, Birmingham, Manchester, Newcastle and Glasgow this coming November.

Kerry King, Tom Araya, Paul Bostaph and Gary Holt will be joined by Lamb of God, Anthrax and Obituary at all shows.

Commenting on Lamb of God’s guest spot on the tour, singer Randy Blythe said: "If you are lucky enough to be invited to play even just once with living legends like Slayer, it's an incredible honour.

"Slayer gave Lamb Of God our very first two overseas shows. Slayer have subsequently taken us on several full-length tours, both at home and abroad. The guys in Slayer and their crew have also always been very, very cool to our band.

"It is irrefutable that Slayer helped create the genre of aggressive metal, and all modern bands of that ilk owe them a huge debt—I know we do. To be asked to be a part of their final tour—well, it just makes you stop and realize just how lucky you are."

Tickets go on sale from Kerrang! Radio Tickets at 9am on Friday 18th May.
