Slayer contends they still have not been paid for their performance in Iceland last year, and are suing the festival for $133,000 USD, reports The Reykjavík Grapevine. The current festival organizers eschew any responsibility for the debt, and questions remain regarding who is ultimately responsible.

Slayer performed at Secret Solstice last June as the headlining act, and now RÚV reports that the band were not paid when they were supposed to be - July 2018 - and are now seeking recompense to the tune of about $133,000 USD.

Furthermore, a representative for the band contends that festival organizers retained 20% of Slayer’s revenue to pay cash to tax authorities, but these same tax authorities confirmed that this money has not been paid.
