European Carnage Tour was a European tour headlined by American thrash metal bands Slayer and Megadeth.

A tour poster from the band's March 30 date confirmed that there would be a special guest band opening on the tour.[1]

The last time that Megadeth and Slayer toured Europe together before European Carnage was the Clash of the Titans Tour in 1991 when support was provided by Anthrax and Alice In Chains. Slayer and Megadeth toured together in North America on American Carnage Tour, in 2010.

Gary Holt of Exodus has been announced as Jeff's temporary replacement, at Slayer,[2] on March 13, to April 4, 2011.

There would have been a Swedish concert originally in Stockholm, Arenan, but the concert was cancelled,[3] and a newer Norwegian show was announced instead, in Oslo, Sentrum Scene, on March 20, 2011.[4]
The Switzerland show previously scheduled at St. Jakobshalle in Basel, on April 13, 2011 has been moved to the Volkshaus in Zurich.[5]

In Saint Petersburg on March 16, 2011, Megadeth performance was cut short due to Dave Mustaine's illness.[6][7]

Cannibal Corpse guitarist Pat O'Brien will fill in for Exodus' Gary Holt when Holt leaves the Slayer European tour to play with his own band Exodus at the Estadio Nacional in Santiago, Chile on April 10, 2011. Holt's last show with Slayer will be April 4, 2011 in Padova, Italy, O'Brien will join the band for the April 6, 2011 show in Croatia, and will finish the European dates on April 14, 2011 in the Netherlands.[8]
