With Hatebreed‘s Jamey Jasta newly assuming control following a poorly-received showing in 2024, this year’s U.S. edition of ‘The Summer Slaughter Tour‘ has been announced. Jasta‘s own aforementioned metalcore outfit will be headlining this years run, with Bleeding Through and Fugitive appearing as direct support on select dates. Malevolence, Gridion, Escuela Grind, Snuffed On Sight and Incite round out the lineup.
Jasta said of his new involvement with the tour:
“A new era of Summer Slaughter has begun. Huge thanks to Ash and the Sumerian team for their belief and support. Myself and Sound Talent Group are excited to be working with them going forward and taking the tour worldwide. 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!”
The tour founder’s Ash Avildsen added:
“I’ve always wanted Hatebreed to headline Summer Slaughter since the inception of the tour many years ago. 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. Now is the time!”
