Slayer in Latin America 2026: The Reign in Blood 40th Anniversary Dates

Slayer bring the Reign in Blood 40th Anniversary tour to Latin America for five headline shows between October 21 and December 17, 2026: Mexico City, Bogotá, Santiago, Buenos Aires and São Paulo. The band plays the 1986 album Reign in Blood in full for its 40th anniversary, their first run in the region since 2019.

The official tour page (slayer.net/pages/live) shows its dates in a widget we couldn't read, so the dates come from the band's announcement as reprinted by Blabbermouth and Knotfest, checked against seller and venue pages where we could open them. As of October 12, no page we read marks any of the five dates as sold out. That is not the same as available.

Every Date

City by City

Mexico City: Wednesday, October 21

Palacio de los Deportes opens the run, with Power Trip in support. Press names Ticketmaster México and the venue's box office as sellers. The Ticketmaster page wouldn't open for us, so doors, start time and age rules are unconfirmed. The rest of the month is in our Mexico City October guide.

Bogotá: Saturday, December 5

Vive Claro, per the band's announcement and Colombian press, with Kreator and Ultra Legends. Ticketmaster Colombia lists general sale and VIP package links and no "agotado" text. Its page says the event is for over-12s, but Noticias Caracol reports most sectors are 18+, with only sectors 117, 119, 121 and 123 open to 12+. Check your sector's rule. No doors or start time appears on any page we read. More in our Bogotá guide.

Santiago: Thursday, December 10

Estadio Santa Laura, with Criminal opening, then Kreator. Ticketmaster Chile lists only the June presale and general-sale windows and no "agotado" text, so current stock is unconfirmed. Under-6s aren't admitted, under-15s need an adult, and ages 12 and up may enter the General section. Doors and start time aren't listed. More in our Santiago guide.

Buenos Aires: Monday, December 14

Movistar Arena, with Kreator as special guest and Avernal opening, per Tiempo Argentino and Ámbito, which both report a 9pm start. Press says tickets are sold only through movistararena.com.ar, so skip aggregators and third-party listings. We couldn't open that site, so availability, doors and age rules are unconfirmed. More in our Buenos Aires guide.

São Paulo: Thursday, December 17

Nubank Parque closes the run, and its own page gives the full running order: doors 5pm, Korzus 7pm, Kreator 7:50pm, Slayer 9:05pm. Livepass (livepass.com.br) and the stadium box offices sell it. The age rule is 16+ unaccompanied; under-16s only with a parent or legal guardian, which Wikimetal notes is subject to change by court decision. The page doesn't say whether the show is sold out. Some coverage writes Allianz Parque for the same stadium. More in our São Paulo guide.

How to Plan

• Buy only from the official seller: Ticketmaster México, Ticketmaster Colombia, Ticketmaster Chile, movistararena.com.ar or Livepass. Type the address yourself rather than following a link from social media or a resale post.
• Check availability yourself. No page we read states current stock, and two seller pages wouldn't open for us.
• Confirm the details. Only São Paulo has doors, set times and age rules all on a page we could read.
• Verify the openers. Sources differ on the support acts for Santiago and Buenos Aires. We follow the Chilean seller page and Argentine press.
• Plan the route. After October 21, the four South American dates fall between December 5 and 17, with Kreator on all four.
• Expect changes. Dates, times and availability can change, and the seller's page is the source of truth.
• We don't publish prices: they vary by sector and sale phase, and a wrong number costs readers money.

FAQ

Are any Slayer dates sold out? As of October 12, no page we read marks any of the five as sold out. We couldn't open the Mexico City or Buenos Aires seller pages, and the other three don't say either way, so check the seller before you book travel.

Does Slayer play Lima or any other Latin American city? Not on the dates we found. An RPP headline says Peru is not included.
