SLAYER – To Headline 2024 ‘Louder Than Life‘ Festival

SLAYER is back! The 2024 ‘Louder Than Life‘ festival lineup has just been announced. This tenth annual edition of the festival will be held at the Highland Festival Grounds at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville, KY on September 26th-29th. In a shocking announcement, SLAYER have been booked as the headliners for the Friday, September 27th stop of the event. The group had previously hung it up back in 2019 following the conclusion of a farewell tour.

Speaking on their return for the fest, ‘Louder Than Life‘ promoter Danny Wimmer commented:

“We’re thrilled to announce that Slayer will be reuniting for an earth-shattering performance at Louder Than Life. I was at their last show at The Forum in 2019 and have been working since then to bring them back to the Louder stage! With over 140 bands on five stages, we’re celebrating our 10th Louder Than Life with the biggest lineup yet! P.S., come out and celebrate with us at TAJ this Saturday and we’ll buy your first drink.”

Elsewhere headlining performances from Slipknot, Mötley Crüe and Korn have been confirmed for the festival. The lineup is an extensive one, so I’ll let the official admat break it down for ya below. General admission and VIP passes are on sale now via louderthanlifefestival.com.

Additional attractions set to be offered at the festival include the Kroger Big Bourbon Bar, the return of Headbangers Hall, The Music Experience, Jack Daniel’s, Pegasus Distilled Experiences, Heavy Tiki presented by Jim Beam, Blackened Presents The Whiskey Bar, The Highland Grounds Wine Garden, and more to be announced.
