Thrash metal legends Slayer have followed up their recent tease with the official announcement of a U.S. East Coast headlining show. That one-off concert, which is being billed as the band’s only North American headlining show of the year, will indeed be taking place in Hershey, PA. The city’s Hershey Park Stadium will host that concert on September 20th.
WWE wrestler Damian Priest, who has direct ties to Slayer, will be hosting the event, which will feature opening sets from Knocked Loose, Suicidal Tendencies, Power Trip, Cavalera (performing Sepultura‘s “Chaos A.D.“) & Exodus (performing “Bonded By Blood“.)
