System of a Down

System of a Down have carved a unique space in the world of alternative metal and alternative rock since their formation in 1995. With roots as an Armenian-American heavy metal group, their genre-blurring sound has influenced generations and set them apart in the global music sphere. Notable for their intensity and creative approach, System of a Down's catalogue spans acclaimed releases including the thought-provoking single "Protect the Land / Genocidal Humanoidz," showcasing their enduring relevance and commitment to their art.

The band's impact on the live music scene has been highlighted by appearances across diverse and high-profile settings. In October 2025, System of a Down headlined Sick New World at Texas Motor Speedway, sharing the stage with a powerful lineup that included Deftones and Slayer. Their presence resonates on UK stages as well, with support sets at Camden Rocks Club Night in London and The Tunnels in Aberdeen, performing alongside headliners such as Foo Fighters, Arctic Monkeys, and Korn. These performances underscore their versatility and enduring appeal within both festival headlining slots and as part of multi-artist bills.

Looking ahead, System of a Down will lead the bill at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London in July 2026, joined by Queens of the Stone Age and Acid Bath, further cementing their position in the global touring circuit. Their uncompromising style and dynamic concerts continue to captivate audiences around the world.
