SLAYER: Reign In Blood 40th Anniversary 2026 — Kia Forum Night 1

You found this. Be the first one here.

Twenty-nine minutes. That's how long the original Reign In Blood runs. Twenty-nine minutes that rewrote what heavy music was allowed to be. Forty years later, the album hasn't aged a day because speed and fury don't have an expiration date.

Slayer returns to the Kia Forum in Inglewood on Friday, November 13 at 6 PM for the Reign In Blood 40th Anniversary show — a night built around performing the album that made thrash metal a permanent fixture in American music. Support comes from Cannibal Corpse, Cavalera, and Crowbar — a lineup that reads like a murderers' row of extreme metal. A second night follows November 14 with the same bill.

The Kia Forum is the kind of room that rewards aggression — 17,500 seats with the acoustics of a venue originally designed for basketball, which means the low end hits like a physical force. The early 6 PM start accommodates a four-band deep card that runs until the walls vibrate.

Not another farewell. This is Slayer playing the album that made them Slayer, in the city where it all started. You already know if this is for you.
