Danny Wimmer of Danny Wimmer Presents commented:

"We're thrilled to announce that Slayer will be reuniting for an earth-shattering performance at
Louder Than Life," says Danny Wimmer of Danny Wimmer Presents. "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."

David S. Beck (President and CEO of Kentucky Venues) added:

solidifies why the Kentucky Exposition Center is the number one place to travel to in
September," said David S. Beck, President and CEO of Kentucky Venues. "We anticipate
festival-goers from around the world to come for the music and fall in love with all the things that
make Kentucky such a great state."
