Hatebreed Announces 2025 Summer Slaughter Tour, Expands Globally

Hatebreed, led by Jamey Jasta, will headline the revived 2025 Summer Slaughter Tour, marking the band's return to a U.S. summer tour after several years. Jasta, who has taken over the tour's direction, aims to restore and expand the event's legacy as a platform for both established acts and emerging heavy music talent. The tour, running from July 8 to July 28, will feature support from bands like Bleeding Through, Fugitive, Gridiron, Malevolence, Incite, Escuela Grind, and Snuffed on Sight on select dates. Both Jasta and tour founder Ash Avildsen emphasize their excitement about continuing the tradition of showcasing rising artists while growing the tour's reach, with plans to eventually take it worldwide. Tickets for the tour go on sale May 2. The Summer Slaughter brand is recognized for its blend of legendary headliners and promising newcomers, a tradition Jasta intends to continue.
