Hatebreed don’t just play festivals, they storm them. This September, the hardcore legends will bring their no bullsh*t intensity to Louder Than Life 2025, following a crushing run on this year’s Summer Slaughter Tour.
While some bands evolve, reinvent or soften with age, Hatebreed remain a steel boot to the throat. Over two decades in, they’re still the kings of metallic hardcore. Commanding pits with anthems like ‘Live for This’, ‘Destroy Everything’ and ‘Looking Down the Barrel of Today’. Their sound is pure muscle, all grit, groove and unfiltered rage and at Louder Than Life, that formula is going to hit like a brick to the teeth.
First Up? Summer Of Slaughter
Before that, they’ll warm up the stages (and bodies) on Summer Slaughter 2025, sharing bills with death metal’s most unhinged. It’s the kind of environment Hatebreed thrive in, hostile, loud and packed with people ready to mosh. That tour will no doubt prime them for the Kentucky chaos that awaits in September!
Lock In The Dates: September 25–28
Set to play alongside Slipknot, Judas Priest, Pantera, and Spiritbox, Hatebreed are one of the fest’s most vital inclusions. A clear reminder that hardcore still has a place in the massive machinery of American rock festivals. Where many bands deliver spectacle, Hatebreed deliver release! Frontman Jamey Jasta doesn’t just perform, he commands, rallying fans like a hardcore preacher in a battlefield!
Expect sweat, circle pits and breakdowns built to fracture spines. Hatebreed at Louder Than Life isn’t just a show, it’s a lasting memory.
Louder Than Life 2025 hits Louisville, Kentucky this September 25th to 28th. Hatebreed are set to headline Friday nights proceedings. Time will tell if guitarist Wayne Lozinak will make his return by September, he is at home battling a Brain Tumour Diagnosis. Prayers up for a speed recovery Wayne!
