2025 to be rebranded as “The Summer Jasta Tour: Most Jasta-Filled Tour of the Year”
In a bold move no one saw coming — except literally everyone — Hatebreed frontman and motivational podcast wizard Jamey Jasta has officially assumed control of the Summer Slaughter tour. Effective immediately, the tour will now feature a lineup consisting almost entirely of Jasta himself, Jasta-adjacent bands, and bands that once heard his podcast and liked it.
Fans can expect the newly envisioned tour to deliver what insiders are calling “a relentless avalanche of Jasta,” with performances from:
JASTA (his solo band)
JASTAFARI (a reggae-metal fusion act)
PROJECT JASTICE (socially conscious rap-metal side project)
JASTABATH (a Sabbath tribute band where he sings and plays all instruments)
1000 JASTAS STARE (his cinematic hardcore soundtrack project)
KIDS BOP HATEBREED (a family-friendly reimagining of Hatebreed classics, including “Destroy Everything (Except Your Homework)”)
According to Jasta, the goal is “diversity” — but only within the Jastaverse.
“We’re bringing in metalcore, hardcore, deathcore, death metal, motivational yelling, and possibly even TED Talk-core,” Jasta shouted into a wireless mic while deadlifting a stage monitor. “And we’re going global. There are people in South America who haven’t been inspired by me yet.”
While Jasta was tight-lipped about non-Jasta-related bookings, rumors are swirling that opening acts may include up-and-coming groups like Post-Breed, Almost Hatebreed, and That One Band Jamey Mentioned Once on the Podcast.
Meanwhile, the iconic “Summer Slaughter” branding will be retired and replaced by a new tagline: “Summer Jasta: 14 Cities, 97 Sets, 1 Man”.
Ash Avildsen, original Summer Slaughter founder, commented briefly via press release: “Look, I’ve been trying to retire since 2019. If Jasta wants to play 11 shows per night and motivate roadies into building a stage on a moving tour bus, who am I to stop him?”
Tickets go on sale next week. Every ticket includes a complimentary pre-show push-up challenge and a QR code to download Jasta’s new book, “Live Laugh Lift: Metal Motivation for the Masses.”
