Prior to System of a Down’s first huge stadium show in London on Monday (July 13), the band hadn’t played the UK since Download Festival 2017. The Armenian-American alt-metal band are making amends for their absence with two dates at north London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with the second date lined up for Wednesday July 15.
The two shows are the only British dates on SOAD’s 2026 UK and European Stadium Tour. On both dates the Mezmerize and Toxicity legends are supported by Queens of the Stone Age and Acid Bath – two acts very much of a draw in their own right.
Can’t wait to hear ‘Chop Suey!’ and ‘Lonely Day’ blasted out to a stadium crowd? Here’s what you need to know about System of a Down’s remaining show at the Spurs stadium, from timings to last-minute ticket availability.
