System of a Down at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in 2026: date, presale, ticket prices and everything you need to know

Can you believe it’s been nearly 20 years since System of a Down last released an album? Mezmerize, Toxicity and the Armenian-American alt-metal band’s heyday feels like it was only yesterday – and that’s partly because they’ve been a fairly regular touring presence over the past decade or so.

Well, SOAD have been regularly touring elsewhere – they’ve not played the UK since headlining Download in 2017. But that’s all about to change, as Serj Tankian and co have announced a huge London stadium show for next summer.

System of a Down’s first British show in nine years will take place at north London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and it’ll feature huge support slots from Queens of the Stone Age and Acid Bath.

Keen to snap up some tickets to see Daron Malakian, Serj Tankian, Shavo Odadjian and John Dolmayan live? Here’s what you need to know about the gig.
