Hatebreed will headline the 2025 edition of the “Summer Slaughter” US tour, which will feature support from Fugitive, Gridiron, Malevolence, and more rotating acts. The tour will run from July 8th in St. Petersburg, Florida, to July 28th in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The “Summer Slaughter” tour has long been a staple of the metal circuit, and it made a triumphant return in 2024 after a five year hiatus. The tour was created by Ash Avildsen of Sumerian Records, and he has partnered with Hatebreed frontman Jamey Jasta and Sound Talent Group for the current tour. “A new era of ‘Summer Slaughter’ has begun,” states Jasta. “It’s been years since Hatebreed has done a summer tour in the US 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!” (Consequence of Sound)
