“We’re thrilled to announce that Slayer will be reuniting for an earth-shattering performance at Louder Than Life,” Danny Wimmer of Danny Wimmer Presents said in a news release. ”I was at their last show at The Forum in 2019 and have been working since then to bring them back to the Louder stage. With over 140 bands on five stages, we’re celebrating our 10th Louder Than Life with the biggest lineup yet.”
Louder Than Life and DWP’s Louisville companion festival, Bourbon & Beyond, which takes place the previous weekend, generated millions in local economic impact in 2023, and drew more than 300,000 attendees, according to the news release.
“On the heels of an incredible lineup announcement for Bourbon & Beyond, Louder Than Life solidifies why the Kentucky Exposition Center is the number one place to travel to in September,” said David S. Beck, president and CEO of Kentucky Venues. “We anticipate festival-goers from around the world to come for the music and fall in love with all the things that make Kentucky such a great state.”
