System of a Down Returns with Epic 2025 Stadium Tour Featuring Rock’s Biggest Names

Major Return to Stadiums

System of a Down has announced six massive stadium shows for Summer 2025, marking a significant return to large-scale performances. The iconic Los Angeles hard-rock band has been selective with their appearances in recent years, previously only performing at select festivals and one-off shows in Las Vegas, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.

Tour Details and Co-Headliners

The tour will feature an impressive lineup with different co-headliners at each stop: Korn will join them in New Jersey, Avenged Sevenfold in Chicago, and Deftones in Toronto. Additionally, special guests Polyphia will open all shows.

The tour is set to begin in August 2025, kicking off with performances in East Rutherford, New Jersey, followed by back-to-back nights in Chicago and Toronto through early September. Due to overwhelming ticket demand, second dates have been added to each stop after the initial announcement.

While System of a Down hasn’t been releasing new music recently, its members have remained active. Lead singer Serj Tankian has announced a new album titled ‘Covers, Collaborations & Collages,’ while guitarist-vocalist Daron Malakian has released a new LP ‘Addicted to the Violence’ with his band Scars on Broadway.

Concert Experience

Fans can expect marathon performances featuring over 30 songs spanning the band’s entire career, known for creating an electrifying atmosphere that whips crowds into a frenzy. Tickets are currently on sale through Ticketmaster, with standard tickets still available for many dates.
