By Amanda Wicks
(RADIO.COM) – Slayer will be teaming up with Lamb of God and Behemoth for a metal tour of epic proportions.
Their six-week trek begins in Bemidji, Minnesota on July 12th and makes its way to the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco on August 9th. Wrapping up in Phoenix, Arizona on August 20th.
They also have plans to play three festivals with Slayer and Lamb of God on the bill at Rock Fest and Rock USA 2017 and Behemoth joining them for Chicago Open Air Festival.
"As metal tours go, this is the one that your fellow metal heads will be bragging about if you miss it!" Kerry King said. "Not very often I get to go on tour where we are all friends to start. That being said, the potential for greatness at these events is mind blowing. I look forward to being a part of it, and hanging with old friends- bands as well as fanatical fans! Let the festivities begin!!"
