Kicking off in St. Petersburg on July 8 and concluding in Grand Rapids on July 28, Hatebreed is set to headline the resurrected Summer Slaughter tour this year. As road warriors and influential figures in hardcore music, they spent 2024 marking their 30th anniversary through extensive tours, celebrating their legacy as one of the most enduring bands of their era.
Hatebreed proudly unveils the return of Summer Slaughter, a tour famously known for propelling new talent alongside established names. Jamey Jasta, the band’s vocalist, is reviving this brand, promising to offer a platform to the top up-and-comers in the scene. This year’s tour boasts an exciting lineup, including acts like Fugitive, Gridiron, Malevolence, Escuela Grind, Incite, and Snuffed On Sight on select dates, reinforcing Summer Slaughter’s reputation for showcasing “The best of the best.”
Tickets will be available starting Friday, May 2 at 10 am local time. You can purchase them HERE or Hatebreed.com.
Jamey Jasta shares his enthusiasm, stating, “A new era of Summer Slaughter has begun…Huge thanks to Ash and the Sumerian team for their belief and support…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…Let the slaughter begin AGAIN!”
Ash Avildsen, founder of the tour and Sumerian Records, adds, “I’ve always wanted Hatebreed to headline Summer Slaughter…Jasta and the band have always curated and built community across different sub-genres…Now is the time!”
Hatebreed has earned their status with an impressive array of pit-stirring anthems and relentless live performances around the world. Rooted in their reputation for ruthless breakdowns and a vigorous touring schedule, they continue to resonate with audiences globally. Described by Forbes as “more relevant than ever in the metal and hardcore community,” Hatebreed’s footprint in music remains vital and significant. Their track “Looking Down The Barrel of Today” recently surpassed 90 million global streams on Spotify.
Their latest album from 2020, “Weight of the False Self,” exemplifies their hardcore origins, hailed by Brooklyn Vegan, Consequence, and Revolver alike as a powerful and aggressive work.
