Slayer Have to Halt Reign in Blood 40th Anniversary Show in LA Due to Destructive Fans, Threaten to “Go Home”
Slayer paused their Reign in Blood 40th anniversary show at Los Angeles’s Kia Forum after fans in seated sections became destructive and risked hurting others. Singer-bassist Tom Araya warned the crowd that the fire marshal had called for a pause and said the band might leave if the behaviour continued.
The band returned about five minutes later and completed their 23-song set, including Reign in Blood in full. The incident occurred during the second of two anniversary shows; Slayer reunited in 2024 after splitting in 2019, and a limited-edition liquid-filled zoetrope vinyl is due on 20 November.
In short
- Slayer paused its Los Angeles show over destructive crowd behaviour.
- The fire marshal called for a pause amid safety concerns.
- The band returned five minutes later to finish its 23-song set.
