Slayer has announced their only North American headline show through Live Nation Philadelphia.
“Announcing: Slayer’s only North American Headline Show at Hersheypark Stadium on Saturday, September 20 featuring Knocked Loose, Suicidal Tendencies, Power Trip, Cavalera Conspiracy and Exodus! Presales begin tomorrow at 10AM Local. Tickets on sale to the general public Friday, April 11 at 10AM Local,” the announcement said.
The exclusive performance brings together a notable lineup of metal bands for the stadium show. This event marks a significant moment for Slayer fans.
The announcement signals Slayer’s carefully planned return to live performances. It marks a new chapter in their storied career.
Antihero Magazine revealed this headline show as Slayer’s first major U.S. appearance since their 2019 farewell tour. The band has taken a selective approach to performances since then.
Blabbermouth reported WWE Superstar Damian Priest will host the event, adding a unique element to the show.
Live For Live Music noted the strategic timing of the Hersheypark Stadium show. The performance is scheduled just two days after their appearance at the Louder Than Life festival.
The band’s 2025 schedule includes a UK performance alongside Black Sabbath’s final Birmingham show. This appearance further establishes their presence at the metal community’s premier events of the year.
