Hatebreed, a legendary metalcore band, is once again at the top of the 2026 edition of “The Summer Slaughter Tour”, as per theprp. The frontman of the aforementioned band, Jamey Jasta, took over as festival steward last year, and this year’s lineup keeps up the Hatebreed headline theme. The fact that Hatebreed is getting ready to record their ninth studio album this year—their first without bassist Chris Beattie—also is a reason. Devourment, Incantation, Snuffed On Sight, Balmora, and Face Yourself are some other bands. Only the run’s last dates will see Incantation, which will take the place of Devourment at some performances. This morning, the most recent installment of the type of touring festival was revealed, along with an advertisement honoring the cult masterpiece “They Live” by John Carpenter from 1988.
Tickets will be on sale starting March 24th at 12:00pm EST / 09:00am EST with the password ‘SSLAUGHTER’.
