Torture Squad, Clustrofobia, and Nervosa complete the lineup.

Rock in Rio has confirmed the full lineup for the Sunset stage on metal day. Slayer, Anthrax, Torture Squad, Claustrofobia, Chuck Billy (Testament), and Nervosa will be at the festival on October 4th.

The bands join Iron Maiden, Scorpions, Megadeth and Sepultura, who will perform on the Mundo stage.

Slayer will come to the country to play at Rock in Rio as part of their farewell tour, but it's still unknown if they will do other shows here. Slayer's lineup is also uncertain, as guitarist Gary Holt announced his departure to be with his father, who is ill. Phil Demmel , formerly of Machine Head, has been chosen to replace him.

Anthrax, the band that has been touring with Slayer, will be coming to Brazil again, following their visit with Accept in November 2017.
