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.
