A Rare Opportunity for Fans

This rare series of shows is a golden opportunity for fans, as System of a Down has been selective with their performances in recent years.

During 2024, for instance, they only performed two concerts, including a notable gig alongside Deftones at San Francisco's Golden Gate Park.

Frontman’s Challenges and Music Legacy

Frontman Serj Tankian has candidly shared in his memoir, Down With the System, that he has faced challenges with chronic back pain and personal struggles, even considering stepping away from the band at one point. Despite these hurdles, System of a Down remains a formidable presence in the music world, with fans eagerly awaiting what is sure to be a historic series of events in 2025.
