Forty Years of Raining Blood, Slayer Play Reign in Blood Twice at the Kia Forum

Slayer will play their 1986 album Reign in Blood from start to finish at the Kia Forum in Inglewood on Friday, November 13 and Saturday, November 14, with Cannibal Corpse, Cavalera and Crowbar opening both nights.

The thrash band booked Friday the 13th first, as part of a 40th anniversary run. Loudwire reported that the date sold out the same day tickets went on sale in April, and that a second night was added “due to overwhelming demand.” Ultimate Classic Rock and Blabbermouth both reported that the Forum dates are Slayer’s first Los Angeles concerts in seven years.

What Is Reign in Blood

Reign in Blood is the Slayer album released in October 1986, home to “Angel of Death” and “Raining Blood.” Announcing the anniversary shows on Instagram, the band wrote, “The fastest, the heaviest, the most uncompromising record in thrash metal history turns 40.” No setlist beyond the full album has been published.

Who Else Is on the Bill

Cannibal Corpse and Crowbar are on both bills. The third slot belongs to Cavalera, the band of brothers Max and Iggor Cavalera, who will play Sepultura’s Chaos A.D. in full, according to Loudwire. Live Nation lists the same four acts for Saturday.

The Inglewood pair sits inside a short anniversary calendar that runs from a September amphitheater date in Minnesota to South American dates in December, according to Blabbermouth. It also makes for a loud week in Inglewood, arriving the night after the Smashing Pumpkins close their arena tour on the same Forum stage.

Practical Details

Slayer, Cannibal Corpse, Cavalera and Crowbar play the Kia Forum, 3900 W. Manchester Boulevard, Inglewood, on Friday, November 13 and Saturday, November 14, 2026.
