System of a Down and Faith No More are joining forces for one of the biggest rock events of the year, announcing a co-headlining stadium tour that will bring both bands to Australia and New Zealand.
The tour will visit Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Wellington, giving fans across the region a rare opportunity to see two of alternative metal’s most influential acts sharing the same stage. The announcement follows a wave of fan speculation after mysterious band symbols appeared in public displays across several Australian cities, fueling rumors that a major tour reveal was on the way.
For System of a Down, the trek marks a long-awaited return to Australia after more than a decade away from headline shows in the country. Faith No More also makes a highly anticipated return to the region, adding even more excitement for rock fans who have waited years to see the band perform locally.
Ticket demand is expected to be strong, with artist presales opening ahead of the general public sale scheduled for July 31. The tour arrives after System of a Down completed a successful European and U.K. run, continuing the band’s recent resurgence on the international concert circuit.
With two legendary bands sharing the bill, the upcoming stadium dates are shaping up to be among the most anticipated rock concerts on the Australian and New Zealand live music calendar.
