Hatebreed are ready to slay.
The Connecticut hardcore icons have announced they’ll be headlining the 2025 edition of the Summer Slaughter tour, which marks the second edition of the annual extreme-metal package tour since it resumed in 2024.
A press release confirms that Hatebreed will be at the top of the bill for the entire tour, which begins July 8th at St. Petersburg, Florida Jannus Live venue and runs until a July 28th tour-closer at the Intersection in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Supporting acts this time around include Fugitive, Gridiron, Malevolence, Incite, Escuela Grind, and Snuffed on Sight, who will all appear on select dates.
“A new era of Summer Slaughter has begun,” Hatebreed vocalist Jamey Jasta said in a statement. “It’s been years since Hatebreed has done a Summer tour in the U.S. and Summer Slaughter is the perfect return for us. The tour has always catapulted the newest and brightest talent to new heights and we’ll be continuing in that tradition while expanding in size and scope. Let the slaughter begin AGAIN!”
“I’ve always wanted Hatebreed to headline Summer Slaughter since the inception of the tour many years ago,” Summer Slaughter founder and Sumerian Records head Ash Avildsen added. “Jasta and the band have always curated and built community across different sub-genres in the world of heavy underground music like very few others have been able to. I am thrilled it’s finally happening on Slaughter with Hatebreed at the top.”
Tickets for all Summer Slaughter dates go up on sale on May 2nd. You’ll find all of the fest dates, as well as info on a few extra dates Hatebreed will be playing as part of Lamb of God’s summer show schedule, down below.
