News : Slayer to join Soundwave tour?

By on October 11, 2009

Rumours are out suggesting Slayer will back up from their current Australian tour, by joining onto the Soundwave Tour early next year. The rumourmongers have it that Dave Lombardo himself has broken the news in Adelaide during a drummers clinic put on by Derringers Music Store.

Of course this would make it up to the hordes of Slayer fans in the city of churches, with the band pulling out of tonights gig (Oct 11th) with Megadeth due to Tom Araya being forced by his doctors to rest his throat after a bout of larangitis.

Fellow metal bands Anthrax and Throwdown are also rumoured to be announced in the 2nd round.

The Soudwave Festival has already announced a class lineup as follows…

FAITH NO MORE
MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE
JANES ADDICTION
AFI
PARAMORE
