Thrash legends Slayer have announced two headline shows to complete their final Australian tour, and will perform for fans in Brisbane and Adelaide with support from fellow Download acts Anthrax and Behemoth.
Elsewhere, Alice In Chains will play a headline show in Brisbane, while Ghost and Code Orange will do the same throughout the month of March.
