The mighty Slayer, whose new album, "Christ Illusion", debuted at No. 5 on the U.S. Billboard charts last week, will kick off its 2006 international concert tour playing two of England's biggest annual music festivals ? Leeds on Friday, August 25 and Reading on Sunday, August 27.
Leg Two of SLAYER's international concert tour will kick off October 20 in Holland when SLAYER tops the bill on the European edition of the "Unholy Alliance Tour: Preaching to the Perverted". The core lineup of the European "Unholy Alliance Tour" will be SLAYER, IN FLAMES, CHILDREN OF BODOM, LAMB OF GOD, and THINE EYES BLEED, and is the first major festival to tour outside of the United States. The U.S. "Unholy Alliance Tour" (which SLAYER headlined with LAMB OF GOD, CHILDREN OF BODOM, MASTODON and THINE EYES BLEED) stormed across North America in June and July.
According to SLAYER's longtime manager Rick Sales, "We wanted to make 'The Unholy Alliance Tour' an annual, global event, and are all very excited that we're making that happen. Like the U.S. tour, we're offering a unique, heavy, and diversified lineup, as well as a great production. Fans are going to get their money's worth."
