Slayer fans, this one’s for you.
The legendary thrash metal giants just added a one-night-only show to their limited run of headline concerts this summer, and it’s a big one. Slayer will storm Hersheypark Stadium in Hershey, PA, on Saturday, September 20, 2025. This will be their only East Coast appearance in the U.S. next year, and if you’re anywhere near Pennsylvania, you won’t want to miss it.
And here’s the kicker: The show will be hosted by WWE Superstar Damian Priest – yes, the same guy who ends matches with Slayer’s “South of Heaven” as his finishing move. Priest’s a die-hard fan, and if that wasn’t metal enough, Slayer’s own Kerry King played guitar on Priest’s theme song, “Rise For The Night.”
The Line-Up Is Absolutely Stacked
This isn’t just a Slayer show, it’s a full-on metal summit featuring multiple generations of heavy hitters:

Knocked Loose
