System Of a Down Announce Summer 2026 U.K./European Stadium Shows

System of a Down are taking their show on the road again next year, with a newly announced run of U.K. and European stadium shows slotted for summer 2026. The string of seven shows from Serj Tankian, Daron Malakian, Shavo Odadjian and John Dolmayan will find the Armenian-American metal quartet joined by Queens of the Stone Age and recently reunited Louisiana sludge metal legends Acid Bath.

The tour will kick off in Stockholm, Sweden on June 29 at Strawberry Arena and hit Stade De France in Paris on July 2, Ippodromo Snai La Maura in Milan, Italy on July 6 and Olympiastadion in Berlin, Germany on July 8 before stopping in Düsseldorf, Germany and London, wrapping up on July 18 in Warsaw, Poland at the PGE Narodowy. The gigs will mark SOAD’s first European swing since 2017.

Tickets for the show will go on sale in an artist pre-sale open through Monday (Sept. 15), followed by a general on-sale beginning on Sept. 19 at 12 p.m. local time; click here for ticket information.

At the band’s show at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey last month — part of a limited stadium run in which they played two nights in three U.S. cities — they offered a touching tribute to late hard rock icon Ozzy Osbourne following his death on July 22 at age 76. Before playing a spot-on cover of Black Sabbath’s “Snowblind” as a tribute their metal forefather, Malakian told the crowd about how his band’s crucial early-‘00s runs on the Ozzfest bill helped SOAD break in the U.S. “We want to thank Ozzy Osbourne!” Malakian yelled as the audience broke into a spontaneous “OZ-ZY!” chant.
