System Of A Down - Announce European Shows


After their Wake Up The Souls Tour 2015 and some festival appearances, System Of A Down will return to Europe for a few summer festivals and select headline dates in 2017. The group will play summer dates across Europe in 2017, including Download festivals in Paris and Madrid.

In May, Serj Tankian talked about the band making new music, saying they were "communicating" about the possibility.

He said: "There's definitely a lot of communication going on - a lot of back-and-forth. I can't make a statement in terms of whether we're going to have a record or not, because we haven't gone into the studio and done it. But there's definitely communication going on, songs being played to each other and all that stuff. So it's good. We'll see what happens."




2017 shows:

Jun 07 - Nancy, Open Air Zenith, France
Jun 10 - Paris, Download Festival, France
Jun 12 - Prague, O2 Arena, Czech Republic
Jun 17 - Lodz, Impact Festival, Poland
Jun 20 - Nimes Festival, France
Jun 23 - Madrid, Download Festival, Spain
Jul 02 - Arras, Main Square Festival, France

Just a workout before they hit studio?! It seems yes.

No wonder Serj lying about making a "communication" among band members but I believe lot has been planned under the rug. They might have gone onto record some rough demos and mixes which must be extracted out and put in new record releases somewhere in 2018.

Damn, yoga is great. I can augur events with relentless controllable power.

Course it's about the $$$. Serj had a solo project, which didn't last. Daron (And John?) had Scars of Broadway...Which didn't last. Not sure about the bassist, but whatever they did, it didn't get them the money SOAD got them.

Boring, cynical armchair speculation. Prove it. Bear in mind that Serj's estimated net worth is purported to be 18 million dollars, and Daron supposedly 8 million.

What's the problem? Aren't they an active band? And even if they're not, why is playing live suddenly a big deal? I'd rather have bands play live and never release anything new than churn out a new turd every two years to have an excuse to tour. Like Emperor, although somehow they also get lots of flak for playing live without making new things which I've also never understood.

Yeah it's pretty much been the case that the rest of SoaD have wanted to continue as a full band for a while but Serj wanted to do his own things (like the 2 films scores he did in the past year or so).

Until they start churning out compilations and marketing themselves in ridiculous ways I'll probably give them the benefit of the doubt.

Yeah, fuck that. Any band which plays live is a sellout.
A true band doesn't do any of this shit in order to promote their music, such as releasing albums, vinyl, digital, etc... They also don't play because there's risk of people listening to it.

At least they're still playing and didn't gave up on us (the fans)!

And it sounds like new material is more or less definitely going to happen. Preferably with less of Daron's vocals this time.

Hate to say it but he did. I don't get why if you have a voice like Serj's why you would opt for Daron's for any significant portion of an album.

I love one of their songs "Lonely Day" but just when Daron starts singing I stop the song. I wish it was only Serj's vocals on the song.
