Go Early. Bring Cash.
Who doesn’t love a good pop-up shop? Slayer are opening one for three days off Hollywood Boulevard, right before their two sold-out Forum shows. Exclusive merch is always worth the trip.
The Reign in Blood 40th-anniversary pop-up runs November 12 to 14 at 6250 Hollywood Boulevard, Unit 300, next to the W Hotel and Amoeba Music. It is produced with Global Merchandising Services. It is open 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. each day. The shop carries the official anniversary collection plus designs sold only there. The two Kia Forum shows are November 13 and 14, and both are sold out.
The exclusives are the draw. Some of the band’s own stash of liquid zoetrope Reign in Blood vinyl is bundled with a commemorative triptych and coin. There is also a QR code to enter a giveaway for a signed setlist or merch pack. Slayer are selling a limited number of general admission tickets for the Forum shows at the shop too, while supplies last.
That ticket detail is the one to watch. Two sold-out nights, and the shop is the only place to buy tickets.
Reign in Blood turned forty on October 7. Twenty-eight minutes, no filler, and still the record people point to when they say “heavy.” Slayer are treating the anniversary like a week-long event, not just a pair of gigs.
The full merch lineup is not out yet. If you are in LA that week, do not wait for it.
