Slayer and Anthrax, along with Metallica and Megadeth, make up the ‘big 4’ of the biggest thrash metal bands in history…

Metal giants Slayer and Anthrax will perform on the same stage on the same night for the first time in Croatia this summer.

Slayer and Anthrax will play at Zagreb show grounds (Velesajam – pavilion 9) on 1 June 2016, agency LAA advertised on their Facebook page. Slayer and Anthrax will perform in Zagreb as part of their world tour to promote their new albums after a long break.

Both bands will return to Croatia exactly 3 years after they last visited. Slayer performed in June 2013 at Zagreb’s Tvornica Kulture, whilst Anthrax played at Zagreb Arena a month later in the same year.
