System Of A Down announce first Melbourne show in over a decade

Following the massive sell-out success of their recent EU/UK Summer Stadium Tour (with back to back sell outs in Paris, London, and Warsaw), GRAMMY Award-winning rock icons SYSTEM OF A DOWN will return to Australia for their first headline tour in over a decade. Bringing with them FAITH NO MORE, these events will celebrate two of the most influential and uncompromising bands in rock history.

Kicking off at Sydney’s Accor Stadium on January 22, the run will then take on Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium on January 27, before finishing up at Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium on February 1.

Tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday 31 July 2026 at 10am AEST (Sydney), 11am (Melbourne), and 12pm (Brisbane).

Few bands have defined heavy music like SYSTEM OF A DOWN. Since emerging onto the global stage with their self-titled debut, the four-piece have become one of the most distinctive and impactful bands of the past three decades. With era-defining albums such as their seminal release, Toxicity, the band have sold over 42 million albums worldwide. Renowned for their ferocious performances and inimitable musicianship, seeing SOAD live is an electrifying experience; equal parts chaos, catharsis and celebration. Australian fans can expect an enormous career-spanning set packed with the songs that have become the soundtrack to generations of rock and metal fans around the globe.

Joining them are the incomparable FAITH NO MORE, whose fearless fusion of alternative rock, metal, funk, punk and experimental music forever changed the landscape of heavy music. With classics such as “Epic” and “Midlife Crisis”, the band's influence continues to reverberate through countless artists across multiple genres.

Together, these two colossal acts promise unforgettable performances packed with culture-defining anthems in what is set to become one of the biggest live music events in Australian history.
