Hatebreed Announce Return As Headliner For ‘Summer Slaughter’ 2026 Tour

Hatebreed will return to the top of the bill for the 2026 edition of the long-running ‘Summer Slaughter’ tour, with organizers officially unveiling this year’s lineup and routing.

The revived extreme metal trek will bring together a mix of hardcore, slam and death metal acts across North America this July. Joining the Connecticut metallic hardcore veterans on the run are slam death metal mainstays Devourment, fast-rising San Francisco brutal death metal/hardcore outfit Snuffed On Sight, straight-edge metalcore band Balmora, and international deathcore collective Face Yourself, who will serve as the tour’s opening act each night.

Old-school death metal legends Incantation will additionally appear on the final five dates of the tour.

An artist presale begins today (March 24th) at 12:00pm ET using the password SSLAUGHTER. Additional ticket options are expected to follow through local promoters and venues.

Alongside the tour announcement, Hatebreed have also hinted that new material is currently in the works. Their latest studio album, Weight Of The False Self, was released in 2020.
