Is System of a Down Touring 2025?
Yes — and it was a limited but loud return to North American stadiums. The 2025 run marked System of a Down’s first major tour since the 2015 Wake Up the Souls world tour, breaking a ten-year gap for U.S. stadium shows.
North America Dates
- August 27 & 28, 2025: MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, NJ — co-headlined by Korn (Business Insider)
- August 31 & September 1, 2025: Soldier Field, Chicago — co-headlined by Avenged Sevenfold (Business Insider)
- September 3 & 5, 2025: Rogers Stadium, Toronto — co-headlined by Deftones (Business Insider)
All six shows featured Polyphia as the opening act. Ticket prices on the primary market started at $133 for the August 27 MetLife show, while resale platforms like StubHub had lower entries at $68 for the Toronto shows (Business Insider).
The 2025 tour followed a now-familiar stadium tour playbook: two shows per city, rotating co-headliners to pull different fan bases, and a consistent opening act. Ticket buyers who missed the presale window found viable secondary market entry points — though demand kept StubHub listings active throughout.
South America Stadium Tour
Sources confirm a South American stadium tour in 2025 covering Colombia, Peru, Chile, Argentina, and Brazil, though exact dates and venues for these shows have not been published in detail. Songkick lists eight System of a Down concerts across two countries during the 2025-2026 period, including the September 5 Toronto date, but does not break down the South American legs with specific venues or dates (Songkick).
Confirmed
- Aug 27, 2025 MetLife Stadium kickoff
- Sep 5, 2025 Rogers Stadium finale
- Six total shows across three cities
- Korn, A7X, and Deftones as co-headliners
- Polyphia as opening act
Unconfirmed
- Specific South American dates and venues
- Whether South America shows had co-headliners
- Full 2025 schedule beyond North American leg
Is System of a Down Going on Tour in 2026?
Absolutely. System of a Down have confirmed three separate chunks of 2026 activity: a Las Vegas festival date, a two-night stand in Mexico City, and a full seven-date European stadium run. The band even teased plans for “a very special event” following the European dates, though no specifics have been shared yet (Blabbermouth).
Las Vegas Festival
The first confirmed 2026 date is April 25 at Sick New World Festival in Las Vegas. The official System of a Down website lists this as the opening act for what promises to be a significant live return for the band (System of a Down Official Site).
Mexico Shows
The official site also confirms May 27 and 28, 2026 at Estadio GNP Seguros in Mexico City — a two-night run in one of Latin America’s largest markets for heavy music. No support acts have been announced for these dates as of this writing (System of a Down Official Site).
Europe Return
The marquee announcement: seven European stadium shows from June 29 to July 18, 2026, with Queens of the Stone Age and Acid Bath as co-headliners and support acts. The tour announcement landed on September 10, 2025, with presales opening six days later on September 16 (Blabbermouth).
“We’re thrilled to return next summer with special guests Queens of the Stone Age and Acid Bath.”
— System of a Down, via Blabbermouth
The European run marks the band’s first full tour in that region since 2017, when they played 20 shows including a slot at Download Festival. Teasers for the 2026 tour had already appeared in London, Italy, and Germany before the official announcement (Blabbermouth).
The consistency of support acts across all seven shows signals a deliberate curatorial choice, with Queens of the Stone Age and Acid Bath locked in rather than rotating like the 2025 co-headliner model.
Will System of a Down Tour Europe Again?
Yes — and the wait is nearly over. The July 4, 2026 show at Stade de France sits near the midpoint of a European run that kicks off in Stockholm on June 29 and closes in Warsaw on July 18. The Stade de France date is the only French stop on the itinerary.
Nine-Year Absence Ends
System of a Down last toured Europe in 2017, a 20-show run anchored by Download Festival in the UK. The 2026 tour represents the band’s longest gap between European visits in over a decade, making the Stade de France date particularly significant for fans on that side of the Atlantic.
Stade de France Concert
- Date: July 2, 2026 (not July 4 — that’s the announced date, but Loudwire lists July 2 as the Paris show date) (Loudwire)
- Venue: Stade de France, Saint-Denis
- Support: Queens of the Stone Age, Acid Bath
Tickets for the Paris show went on general sale September 19, 2025 at 12PM local time, following a presale window that began three days earlier via systemofadown.com (Loudwire).
Will System of a Down Play in 2026?
Beyond the European run, additional 2026 dates have already appeared on ticket platforms and aggregate listings. Ticketmaster Ireland lists System of a Down concerts for 2026-2027, though not all dates have been officially confirmed by the band (Ticketmaster).
Ticketmaster Listings
The Ticketmaster platform confirms the MetLife Stadium shows and lists the 2026 European dates alongside international concert entries. Live Nation, the band’s promoter, also maintains a System of a Down event page with confirmed and upcoming dates (Live Nation).
Songkick Dates
Songkick’s artist page for System of a Down shows eight concerts across two countries during the 2025-2026 window, including the September 5 Toronto show as the final 2025 entry and multiple European dates for 2026 (Songkick).
No additional international dates have been announced beyond the 2025 North American leg and the 2026 Europe run. Any listings on secondary marketplaces or aggregate sites that go beyond these confirmed shows should be treated as unverified — especially anything dated 2027 or later.
System Of A Down Tickets, 2026 Concert Tour Dates
Getting tickets for System of a Down’s 2025 and 2026 tours involves knowing which platform has the best access, when to buy, and what to expect on secondary markets. Here’s a practical guide.
How to Buy Tickets
- Primary market: Ticketmaster (U.S. and international), Ticketmaster.ie (Ireland), systemofadown.com (presale access)
- Secondary market: StubHub, Vivid Seats — useful when primary sales sell out
- Presale strategy: Register or log in to systemofadown.com ahead of the presale window, which typically opens 3 days before general sale (System of a Down Official Site)
For the 2025 tour, Ticketmaster prices started at $133 for the August 27 MetLife show. StubHub had lower floor entries at $68 for Toronto shows, reflecting the two-night format versus single-night demand in those markets (Business Insider).

Summary
System of a Down ended a decade-long stadium drought in 2025 with a tightly run six-show North American tour, then immediately set up an even larger European sweep for 2026. The band has confirmed 10 dates across three years — and dropped hints about something more after the European run closes in Warsaw on July 18, 2026. For fans planning ahead, the prescription is straightforward: monitor the official site for presale windows, act fast on general sales, and treat any 2027 dates on resale platforms as unverified until the band says otherwise.

Frequently asked questions
What are System of a Down tour 2025 ticket prices?
Ticketmaster listed starting prices at $133 for the August 27, 2025 MetLife Stadium show. StubHub’s lowest entries for 2025 shows were around $68 for the Toronto dates. Prices varied by city and night, with two-show cities typically offering more affordable secondary market entry on the second night.
Where is System of a Down tour 2025 near me?
The 2025 North American run covered three cities: MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ (Aug 27-28), Soldier Field in Chicago (Aug 31-Sep 1), and Rogers Stadium in Toronto (Sep 3-5). Songkick also tracked eight concerts across two countries during the 2025-2026 period. Check Ticketmaster for your region or visit the official site for international dates.
What is the expected System of a Down tour 2025 setlist?
Specific setlist data has not been published in available sources. Given the band’s catalog depth and the rotating co-headliner format, each night likely featured a core set of 15-18 songs with variations. Fans who attended the 2015 Wake Up the Souls tour can expect a broadly similar structure — heavy on hits like “Chop Suey!,” “Toxicity,” and “B.Y.O.B.” — but no official setlist was released for the 2025 shows.
Is System of a Down touring USA in 2025?
Yes. The 2025 tour included six U.S. stadium shows: four at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey (August 27-28) and Soldier Field in Chicago (August 31-September 1). All shows featured co-headliners — Korn in New Jersey, Avenged Sevenfold in Chicago — and Polyphia as the opening act. No additional U.S. dates beyond those six were announced.
Are there System of a Down Europe dates in 2025?
No. The 2025 run was North America only. The European return is scheduled for 2026, with the first show on June 29, 2026 in Stockholm and the final show on July 18, 2026 in Warsaw. No Europe dates were added to the 2025 calendar.

What are rumors for System of a Down 2027?
No 2027 dates have been confirmed or announced. The band teased “a very special event” following the July 18 Warsaw show, but has not specified what form that takes or when it would occur. Any 2027 listings on ticket platforms or aggregate sites should be treated as unverified speculation until the band makes an official announcement.
