The South Okanagan Events Centre (SOEC) will play host to Slayer with special guests Anthrax and Death Angel.

The band will bring its North American tour to the Okanagan on Wed., Oct. 19. The Slayer Fan Club Presale starts Tues., May 10, and the general on-sale begins this Fri., May 13 at 10 a.m.

“It’s always super fun for us to tour with Anthrax. Frank is one of my best friends in the biz!! Put that together with Death Angel, and fans will probably see the best package this year. See you there!” said Slayer’s Kerry King.

Fans will hear their favorite Slayer songs from the band's 30-year plus discography, as well as a few of the newer songs from Repentless, named "The Metal Album of the Year" by Guitar World. Slayer and Anthrax stormed through Europe together last fall, amassing a string of sensational live reviews, so North American fans, this will be a night of metal music that should not be missed.

The Penticton concert date is one of only a handful of stops in Canada, which includes Abbotsford. Toronto, Ont., and Montreal, Que. Tickets for the show are $69 and $79 plus additional fees and can be purchased online at ValleyFirstTix.com, at the SOEC box office, or by phone at 1-877-763-2849.
