SYSTEM OF A DOWN Announce First European Tour In Nearly A Decade
System Of A Down are officially heading back to Europe for the first time since 2017. The Armenian-American nü-metal giants have announced a seven-date stadium tour for summer 2026, joined by Queens of the Stone Age and sludge metal cult heroes Acid Bath.
The run kicks off June 29 at Stockholm’s Strawberry Arena, before hitting Paris’ Stade De France, Milan, Berlin, Düsseldorf, London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and closing out in Warsaw at PGE Narodowy on July 18. It marks the band’s most ambitious European return yet, following their last 20-show trek nearly a decade ago, which included a headline slot at Download Festival.
“We’re thrilled to return next summer with special guests Queens of the Stone Age and Acid Bath,” said System Of A Down in a statement. “Plans are also underway for a very special event to take place following these shows. Stay tuned…”
The announcement follows a week of cryptic teasers, with the System Of A Down logo projected on landmarks in London, Italy, and Germany, fueling speculation of a European comeback. Tickets are available here.
