Slayer announce massive East Coast headline show

Slayer have confirmed a one-night-only headline concert for Saturday, September 20, 2025, at Hersheypark Stadium in Hershey, PA, their only East Coast appearance of the year. WWE star Damian Priest will host the event and features a stacked lineup including Knocked Loose, Suicidal Tendencies, Power Trip, Cavalera performing Chaos A.D., and Exodus performing Bonded by Blood. Doors open at 3:00 PM ET, with the show starting at 4:00 PM ET. Tickets are available at this location.

Kerry King expresses:

“It’s going to be great for the fans. Not having toured in a number of years, there might be some people at this show who have never seen Slayer before, or in some time. So, for the Hershey concert, we’ll play a Slayer show, we’ll have all of our big fire effects, just burn everything like we used to – a real Slayer show. This will be the first time Slayer has played with Power Trip or Knocked Loose, but I am well aware of them from word of mouth and hearing their music on Liquid Metal. I’m looking forward to seeing them live.”

Tom Araya adds:

“My favorite part of what I do is the stage time. Nothing compares to the 90-minutes when we’re on stage playing live, sharing that intense energy with our fans. I love singing, and I love convincing everybody, ‘my god, that guy is a maniac.’”

Priest states:

“I’ve been a Slayer fan ever since I was a kid. Metal has always had a special place in wrestling, Slayer’s legacy is woven into the fabric of wrestling, and the genre wouldn’t be where it is today without Slayer. This September at Hershey Park Stadium in Pennsylvania, I’m excited and honored to host Slayer’s show and bring wrestling into their world.”
