The Summer Slaughter tour is officially back, announcing a 21-date tour featuring co-headliners Veil of Maya and Brand of Sacrifice hitting the road in July.
This marks the first run of Summer Slaughter since going on hiatus four years ago. Prior to that, the annual tour had emerged as one of the top showcases for heavy music bands. Rumors of a return started circulating in March with the tour’s social media accounts teasing a forthcoming announcement.
In addition to Veil of Maya and Brand of Sacrifice, Gideon, Left to Suffer, Ten56, Tallah, Cabal and Brat will all spend time playing dates on the tour, with one additional band yet to be named. Interestingly enough, there are still two “to be announced” shows in the midst of the itinerary which could tie to the still unnamed band’s participation.

Brand of Sacrifice frontman Kyle Anderson says, “We’re so excited to introduce the new age of Summer Slaughter this year with Veil of Maya and this truly awesome lineup of bands! Back in 2019 we were the first band on the bill, so it’s a bit surreal to be here at the top, bringing in the new era of the tour with our first ever full headline set.”
Veil of Maya guitarist Marc Okubo adds, “It’s an absolute honor to be back on the Summer Slaughter tour. This tour has been responsible for some of my favorite memories of playing music and some of my greatest friendships. This year’s lineup is amazing and I can’t wait to share the stage with these incredible bands.”
