System of a Down is returning to Australia and New Zealand for their first tour in the region in over a decade, scheduled for January and February 2027. Faith No More will join them as special guests for these stadium shows.
The tour includes performances at Accor Stadium in Sydney on January 22, Marvel Stadium in Melbourne on January 27, Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane on February 1, and Hnry Stadium in Wellington on February 7.
Tickets will be available through general sale starting Friday, July 31, with presales beginning earlier that week. This tour is the first for System of a Down in Australia since 2012, having recently concluded European and U.K. tours and headlining the Sick New World Festival in April.
Despite not releasing a studio album since 2005, System of a Down remains influential. That year, they achieved a rare feat by having both "Mezmerize" and "Hypnotize" debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Their earlier album "Toxicity" also reached No. 1 and sold millions worldwide, fueled by hit singles.
Faith No More, known for their 1989 hit "Epic," pioneered rap-rock fusion. Their platinum-certified album "The Real Thing" was released in 1989, with their latest album, "Sol Invictus," arriving in 2015 after an 18-year hiatus.
