Refund information is available at the link below. SDCC will again host a series of Comic-Con At Home events in November, and WonderCon will have a similar online replacement, but this is a big loss for the community.

“Comic-Con?!? I can’t believe they are gonna let us shred the HOB San Diego!! It will definitely be a night of fury and intensity that the city won’t soon forget. We will be coming off a seven week European run, so Slayer’s guns will be blazing!”
Slayer will also take part in two signings, These signings will take place Friday, July 22, booth #2615, and at the Nuclear Blast Records booth, #501. Slayer devotees will truly enjoy this event. Slayer continues to tour in support of 2015’s Repentless album, released via Nuclear Blast.
