Hatebreed to Headline the 2025 Summer Slaughter Tour: Let the Slaughter Begin Again!
In an electrifying announcement for metal and hardcore fans alike, Hatebreed is set to take the helm of the 2025 Summer Slaughter tour, reestablishing their position as one of the foremost bands in the genre. Jamey Jasta and his ferocious crew will be leading a formidable lineup that promises a devastating musical onslaught across the U.S. this July.
The tour, long revered as a platform for both established heavyweights and rising underground talent, will kick off on July 8 in St. Petersburg, Florida, and wrap up on July 28 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Support for Hatebreed will come from a rotating cast of artists, including Fugitive, Gridiron, Malevolence, Bleeding Through, Incite, Escuela Grind, and Snuffed on Sight.
After a successful revival in 2024, spearheaded by creator Ash Avildsen, the Summer Slaughter tour is ready to reclaim its place in heavy music culture. Jasta promises an ambitious expansion, not only retaining the festival’s tradition of showcasing emerging acts but also aspiring to reach a global audience. "A new era of Summer Slaughter has begun," he remarks. "It’s been years since Hatebreed has done a summer tour in the U.S., and Summer Slaughter is the perfect return for us."
In a testament to Hatebreed’s influence, Avildsen expressed his excitement for the band to headline, citing a long-held desire for them to take the lead after years of building community across various heavy genres. “Now is the time!” he declared, underscoring the significance of this moment for both the tour and the band.
