Slayer, a band whose songs include Kill Again, Spill the Blood, and Raining Blood, has pulled the plug on its Christchurch show at Horncastle Arena on Sunday.

The decision was announced by VBase Board chairman Tim Scandrett in a Facebook post.

Scandrett said the concert was cancelled after talks with the police and the Christchurch City Council.

"The advice we have received is too compelling to ignore," he said.
