So, here we are, counting down the days—nay, years—until System of a Down storms the UK stage for the first time in almost a decade . Isn’t it wild to think that these rock icons are making a Monday night comeback at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium come July 13, 2026? Now, if you ask me, having a legendary band drop one show on a Monday might just be the universe’s way of reminding us that, hey, not everything aligns perfectly—even when Mercury’s not in retrograde. Fans have mixed feelings about this lone London gig’s timing (and trust me, Reddit’s buzzing), but the thirst to see Serj, Daron, John, and Shavo live remains as fierce as ever. So gear up, procrastinators and superfans alike—tickets hit the virtual shelves soon, and you’ll wanna be ready to snag yours before they vanish like a shooting star. Curious about how to catch the magic, who’s opening, and what the setlist might look like? LEARN MORE!
System of a Down fans are counting down the minutes until the band’s first UK gigs in nearly 10 years – but they have one complaint.
Last week, SOAD surprised fans by detailing a handful of European stadium dates for 2026, including a single gig at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.

But Redditors have complained about the timing of this live date, with one fan of the alt-metal band writing: “Shame the London show is on a Monday.”
Others bemoaned the fact there’s only one UK date on the schedule, but added that they ‘couldn’t wait’ to see the band in the flesh.
The upcoming concert will be SOAD’s first UK appearance since their 2017 headline slot at Download Festival – making it one for the history books.
Fans hoping to snap up tickets to see the four-piece live will have to gather their pennies fast, as the General Sale goes live later this week.
We’ve collated everything you need to know ahead of scooping tickets to see Daron Malakian, John Dolmayan, Serj Tankian, and Shavo Odadjian in north London next year.
This includes pre-sale dates, potential seat prices, and the suspected setlist.

Anyone who doesn’t manage to snap up tickets in the SOAD pre-sale will have another chance when General tickets go live via Ticketmaster. Set your timers for 12pm on Friday, September 19.
Seats will also be able to purchase from Viagogo, StubHub, and VividSeats once they go on sale.
Prices haven’t been confirmed yet. However, Joe has reported that tickets for the group’s gig in Stockholm are priced between £51-£124. That may give you some indication of how much they will cost.
Seat Unique has a myriad of VIP tickets and hospitality upgrades that will go live on Friday.
