The first dates to be released are as follows:

holy fuck, is more like it.

well!

this blows every tour this year out of the water

Are you sure this is a tour? I didn't see any mention of more dates on the venue websites and i found this on smnnews-

The first of the non-traveling, non-commercial summer metal festivals has been confirmed. Presented by Terry Harper, on June 5, Headliners Music Hall in Lousville, KY will play home to the SUMMER SLAUGHTER FESTIVAL that will feature the following artists:
NECROPHAGIST
DECAPTITATED
CEPHALIC CARNAGE
CATTLE DECAPITATION
BENEATH THE MASSACRE
ION DISSONANCE
THE FACELESS
ARSIS
AS BLOOD RUNS BLACK
+ 1 local band (TBA)
June 5 - Lousville, KY @ Headliners Music Hall

That said, I HOPE this is a national tour.

Edit - I guess the first post is from smn and what i found is from earlier this month. Oops. I still didn't find anything on the venue pages.

That line-up downstairs at The Middle East would rule, all day on a Saturday.

Barrage implies more bands

"first of the non-traveling, non-commercial summer metal festivals"

Non-traveling sounds bad.

I'm pretty sure Arsis are gonna be on tour with Beneath the Massacre and Ion Dissonance. I think this is a one off date.

SHIT!

yesssssssssssssss

if this tour goes to Jaxx ill be there.

this is incredible

I hope this is true, an Arsis/Decapatated/Necrophagist show would make my head explode

I'd rather see this show somewhere OTHER then the Gay-lladium though
