Slayer is far from finished. After stunning fans with surprise festival headlining spots, they’re bringing their iconic thrash to Hershey, PA, for one unforgettable night. On September 20, 2025, Slayer will take the stage at Hersheypark Stadium for their only East Coast performance of the year. Known for their relentless energy and groundbreaking influence in the metal scene, this show promises to deliver all the intensity and power that Slayer fans have come to expect. With a stacked lineup featuring heavy hitters like Knocked Loose, Suicidal Tendencies, Power Trip, and more, this one-night-only event is a true celebration of metal’s finest. WWE Superstar Damian Priest will host the evening, adding an extra layer of excitement to what’s already shaping up to be a night to remember. As Slayer brings their iconic thrash sound to the East Coast, fans will experience the raw power and chaos that only this legendary band can deliver, alongside a lineup that spans both classic and rising metal talent.

Slayer’s place in the history of heavy metal is undeniable. Formed in 1981, the band has become synonymous with thrash metal, pushing boundaries and influencing generations of musicians with their intense sound and uncompromising attitude. Over the years, Slayer has released some of the most iconic albums in the genre, including Reign in Blood, Seasons in the Abyss, and South of Heaven. Their relentless drive and dedication to the craft have earned them countless accolades, including two Grammy Awards for Best Metal Performance. With five Grammy nominations and multiple gold albums, Slayer’s influence extends far beyond their loyal fanbase. As part of the “Big Four” of thrash metal, alongside Metallica, Megadeth, and Anthrax, Slayer has solidified their place in the history of rock. Their legacy is one of innovation, power, and perseverance, and with every performance, they remind fans why they are one of the most important and respected names in metal.

After announcing their farewell tour in 2018 and taking a well-deserved break, Slayer stunned the metal world with their return to live shows in 2024. The thrash legends headlined major U.S. festivals like Riot Fest, Louder Than Life, and Aftershock, proving that they still have the same energy and power that defined their legendary career.
