Slayer Set Only 2025 East Coast Performance With All-Star Pennsylvania Stadium Show
Reunited thrash metal icons Slayer announced a run of 2025 North American and European dates in March, marking their first U.K. and Canadian shows in six years. They expanded that run on Monday morning (April 7) with the addition of the only East Coast performance of the year.
The band will headline the 30,000-seat Hersheypark Stadium in Hershey, PA on Sept. 20 along with a gang of other new and classic thrash/hard rock bands including Knocked Loose, Suicidal Tendencies, Power Trip, Cavalera (performing Chaos A.D. in full) and Exodus (performing Bonded by Blood). The show will be hosted by WWE superstar and Slayer superfan Damian Priest; the wrestler’s finisher is set to Slayer’s “South of Heaven” and the band’s guitarist, Kerry King, created the guitar parts for Priest’s “Rise For the Night” theme song.
A ticket pre-sale will begin on Tuesday (April 8) at 10 a.m. ET, followed by a general on-sale on Friday (April 11) beginning at 10 a.m. ET; for additional ticketing information click here.
In a statement Slayer bassist/singer Tom Araya said, ““Slayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeerrrrrr!!!!!! One night only, stacked line up, it’s going to be f–king sick!!!! Hersheypark – be there…..if not, you’re either dead, in jail or a sissy!!!!!”
Guitarist King added, “Last year, Slayer played only two shows, and those shows affected me like playing The Big Four shows did. When we played our first show last year in Chicago, I figured it was going to be great for the fans, maybe there would be some people who had never seen us play before, but the reaction was just completely overwhelming. The fans reacted to us like I’d expect them to react to the biggest band on the planet. It was amazing. So for the Hershey concert, we’ll play a Slayer show, we’ll have all of our big fire effects, and just burn everything like we used to.”
King also noted that the show will be the first time his group — which also features guitarist Gary Holt and drummer Paul Bostaph — will perform with Power Trip and Knocked Loose.

The war with Iran could start impacting your wallet as soon as today.
Jim Garrity from AAA East Central says oil prices are up.
“They’re hovering around $72. They were pretty consistently around $65, $66 for a while,” he said.
Nationally, AAA said the average for a gallon of regular sits at about $3, up approximately six cents from last week.
In Pennsylvania, it’s around $3.12 a gallon, and in the Pittsburgh region, it’s around $3.24 a gallon. That’s actually down about four cents from last week.
Garrity added that gas prices this time of year would already be increasing, usually because of higher demand for the warmer months and the production of the summer blend of gas used for those months.
The impacts of what’s happening in Iran may not be immediate, which could be part of why our region and the state overall have not seen a spike yet, he said.
“It could be a couple of days later. It could be up to a week later,” Garrity said.
A lot of people are watching what happens with the Strait of Hormuz. Iran borders it to the north, and 20% of the world’s oil goes through it.
Iran is one of the world’s biggest oil producers, and China gets a lot of that oil.
“If there is an impact there, you could see oil start to come in from other parts of the world, which has a downstream effect on [the United States],” Garrity said.
One way you can save on gas if prices increase in our area is by slowing down.
“When you drive faster every five miles, over 50 miles an hour, your fuel efficiency is going down,” Garrity said. “You’re making the car work harder, making the gasoline consumption less effective.”
Garrity added that in 2022, when our area and many others saw some of the highest gas prices ever recorded, people changed their driving habits.
“We saw people make seemingly permanent changes to their driving behaviors, driving less in general, consolidating trips,” he said.
